About the Department of Environmental Health Sciences

Each day we are building upon our rich history to solve some of the most pressing issues in environmental health sciences and public health. Our faculty, researchers, and students are tackling public health topics like lead contamination of the water supply, health effects of air pollution, populations vulnerable to climate change, protection of workers' health, the environment and cancer risk, toxicant exposures and preterm birth, or improving water quality in lower income countries.
