Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Environmental epidemiology is a field of public health science that focuses on the incidence and prevalence of disease or illness in a population from exposures in their environments. Bioavailability is the amount of a contaminant that is absorbed into the body. Biomonitoring is the process of using medical tests such as blood or urine collection to determine whether a person has been exposed to a contaminant and how much exposure he or she has received. Toxicology is the study of the adverse effects of chemical, physical, or biological agents on people, animals, and the environment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Do you wear the clothes you wear at work to home? is an example of present work on the exposure history, not past work, home/residence, or concerns.
