Environment and Health

The environment is under pressure from many sources. Pollution, waste, hazardous materials, and the byproducts of energy systems all threaten environmental health. A degraded environment becomes a public health crisis.

We investigate environmental stressors, their health impacts, and practical solutions for pollution control and waste management. By understanding these links, we help communities protect both their environment and their health.
