The relationship with the environment is a key determinant of human health. From polluted cities to uncontaminated forests, the relationship between the individual and different environmental factors can result in different states of well-being or disease. Understanding the elements to be taken into account, from an epidemiological point of view, to assess the impact of different factors on health is a very complex task. Only through the intersection of environmental, territorial, urban, epidemiological and mortality data, as well as other health, demographic, cultural and social indicators, can we model potential scenarios for a given population to regulate health and outline any policy actions to improve the health of the population and limit the damage resulting from specific environmental drivers. The environment can indirectly or directly affect health. It can promote the circulation of pathogens and other biological factors, such as pollens and other allergens, which, when present, affect the susceptible population. However, it can also act by means of non-biological drivers, such as the presence of chemical and physical contaminants: in this case, it is more difficult to determine a cause-effect relationship and epidemiological studies try to describe and quantify the damage from exposure, both acute and chronic, to different substances. In general, preventing toxic effects of environmental origin requires a complex effort both on behaviour and lifestyles, as well as on the rules and institutional measures that can guarantee the safety of the population exposed to environmental risks.
Graduates in Chemical safety and Toxicological Environmental Sciences will contribute to the improvement of environmental conditions by identifying harmful situations in the living environments, which may cause damage to the population. They will work to remove dangerous situations and achieve better environmental conditions including the quality and safety of the elements that are part of the food chain. In addition, from a social standpoint, they can help foster cultural and scientific aggregation, to protect the environment and therefore population health, to relaunch cultural commitment on this issue and promote, through debate, information and initiatives, the protection of the environment and an improvement in the health conditions of the population.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
The course in Chemical-Toxicological and Environmental Safety Sciences (SSCTA) offers to its students the possibility to spend periods of study and training abroad using international programs of mobility and exchange; among them, the most important program is Erasmus+. The experience abroad is considered by the teachers of the course as a unique opportunity for the students to acquire personal experiences and professional skills.
The Universities hosting SSCTA students are at the moment located in Romania (Transilvania University of Brasov); Spain (Universities of Madrid and Granada), and Slovenia (University of Ljubljana).
The mobility is aimed to acquire credits (attending courses) and/or work in a training program, which can be used to prepare the final thesis
The universities involved in the exchanges offer activities in the area of biochemistry, pharmacology, and analytical methods (including both traditional and novel approaches).
Each student has a tutor, selected among the SSCTA teachers. All information about international mobility is reported at https://www.unimi.it/en/education/chemical-safety-and-toxicological-environmental-sciences.
Reward for the period spent abroad:
According to the period spent abroad, each student must prepare a suitable Learning Agreement in term of credits:
- An academic year: 60 credits;
- An academic semester: 30 credits;
- A three-months period: 20 CFU
The students must obtain at least 70% of credits established in the Learning Agreement. For students spending a training period abroad, the student must obtain all credits reported in the Learning Agreement.
For the students, who finalize positively their training period, a reward is planned at the end of the academic carrier. Extra marks, ranging between 1 and 3 (according to the period spent abroad, the number of credits obtained, and the value of the whole experience), are added to the final grade taking into consideration the tutor's proposal.

La frequenza ai corsi sia frontali sia di laboratorio è obbligatoria, ma sono previsti percorsi personalizzati per gli studenti lavoratori.
Studenti lavoratori
Gli studenti lavoratori che si avvalgono della possibilità di iscrizione a tempo parziale offerta dall'Ateneo devono concordare con i docenti il loro percorso relativamente alla frequenza delle lezioni frontali e dei laboratori. Nel caso in cui lo studente lavoratore non optasse per il tempo parziale, è prevista (previa documentazione dell'attività lavorativa) la possibilità di un percorso di studi personalizzato da concordare con i singoli docenti e che prevede parziali/totali esenzioni dalla frequenza alle lezioni. Nel caso in cui lo studente presti attività lavorativa in laboratori in cui vengano utilizzate tecniche oggetto dei laboratori del corso di laurea, è previsto previo accordo con il docente un esonero parziale/totale dalla frequenza dal laboratorio. Per usufruire di tali agevolazioni, lo studente dovrà presentare all'inizio dell'anno presso la segreteria del corso di laurea (via Golgi) una certificazione attestante il contratto e l'orario di lavoro.
Gli studenti lavoratori possono avvalersi della possibilità di iscrizione a tempo parziale offerta dall'Ateneo.
