Led by faculty from the College of Public Health, the University of Georgia is now partnering with researchers from multiple agencies to host a new graduate training program. The program participants will investigate applications to human health and health policy related to aquatic/ocean sciences. A $518,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will support the creation of this new graduate education program. The goals of this initiative are to develop doctoral-level scientists who are trained in fundamental laboratory and field skills of marine and environmental sciences and who are engaged in human health applications of ocean science through exposure and involvement in public health policy. » Read more

Because local law bans smoking in all bars and restaurants, restaurant goers in downtown Athens are more likely to sit with smokers outside than two years ago, said Luke Naeher, an UGA environmental health science professor who is leading the study. "There are fairly high levels of environmental tobacco smoke out there - in outdoor public places such as outside of restaurants or bars - but not much data on it. We want to find out if these levels ... are of public health importance." » Read more
A new study has found that second-hand smoke from smokers clustered outside establishments which bans the fag is posing a health hazard of its own as there has been an increase of pollutants from it. » Read more
