About the Course

We all have to breathe to live. But the air we breathe is polluted both outdoors and indoors. Each year, this pollution costs 7 million lives across the globe – and a lot of suffering. 1 in 8 deaths is due to air pollution. This course will provide you with an introduction to the most recent research in the field of health effects of air pollution as well as a broader understanding of sources and spread of air pollution and what we should do about it. What is air pollution? What are the sources? How and where are we exposed outdoors and indoors? What happens in the body? Which diseases are the result? Who are the most vulnerable? How can we assess the effects of air pollution? And what should we do to reach the Sustainable Development Goal to “substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution”? These are some of the important questions we will address in the course. During the course you will meet researchers and experts from the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark. They work with different aspects of air pollution and health: toxicology, exposure assessment, epidemiology, engineering and health impact assessment. It is a global responsibility to combat the health impacts of air pollution, and this fight can only be won through new knowledge and global collaboration. We hope you will join us in the course and equip yourself to take part in this global and individual health challenge....

This is a very first time study for online learning from coursera. I got a lot of knowledge from altogether 9 lectures and many reading links. Now, I got much confident.

I am also expecting the certificate from University of Copenhagen for completion.

I also like to invite the lecturer Professors to our country Yangon to conduct the workshop or presentation for Air Pollution and its threats to our health.

Please contact me, Mr. Ye Myint Tun @ James, Managing Director, Shwe Chan Thar Engineering, Yangon, Myanmar. Mob: +9515101330, sctenviro@gmail.com

The course is excellent! The instructors are great, didactic and a reference in the field. The support materials, video lessons and complementary reading materials are very good, above average.

I particularly like the University of Copenhagen, for its high technical quality, particularly in the field of health, and for the courses that are offered here at Coursera. It was really worth it! What I learned will help in my professional life, but especially in my personal life.

PS: Sorry for grammatical errors.
