Material Detail

Here students explore multiple pharmaceutical science topics while discussing the biology and chemistry of organophosphate toxicity, focusing on anatomy and physiology, drug/receptor and drug/enzyme interactions, organic chemistry, and population toxicology. We also touch on the debate over epidemiological studies, law, health equity, and ethical decision making as agricultural workers in the U.S. are often exposed to chemicals that have known toxicities, and if not treated immediately, can lead to death. This activity enables students to solidify pharmaceutical sciences knowledge within an important real-world context.
