Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch. Human impact has become so significant to the ecosystem, that we are experiencing global problems in our present.

The connection of the pollutants, nature and human health effect is emphasized. The course helps the deeper understanding of Public Health 3 (Environmental Health) for general doctors and dentists.
