Does anyone think there'll be anything about MSDS's since it's Environmental? (Material Safety Data Sheet)

I doubt it.

This year, the environmental quality is yes, the main theme, but the focus is mostly on basic epidemiology and food borne illnesses. You need to know a lot of vocabulary, and there's odds ratios too. Good luck!

There really shouldn't be a lot of food-borne, but apparently there is. Lazy event writers recycling old events, methinks.

Well considering that the food you consume is technically part of your environment, it's not too terribly wrong, although it is super irritating.

I cannot speak for other States, but you will not need info on foodborne illnesses in NY - except perhaps for a few like Giardia that can be passed in many ways, including through food.

What kind of information should I look at for environment factors? Prevention, what it is, how it's caused, etc...?

Hey, does anyone know what the three pieces of data are that characterize outbreaks or a health situation? Thank you!

Do you mean person, place, and time?

Basically. I might also study some history, maybe some current events regarding them. For example, they may give you a case study and have you analyze it.

What other equations may we need to know?
