Research
A diverse array of research at the frontier of scientific inquiry and
discovery about interactions between environmental factors and human
health is conducted in the Environmental Health Science Department. The
research generates information critical for analysis of health risks
posed by the mixture of chemical and microbiological agents present in
community and occupational settings.
Research in the department is sponsored by federal and private
organizations including the National Institutes of Health, National
Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Food and Drug
Administration, and the US Department of Agriculture. The knowledge gained
from these studies addresses the needs of local, state, national, and
international organizations working to promote quality of life for
people in Georgia, the United States, and elsewhere.
Areas of research in the department include:
- Chemical and Microbiological Water Pollution
- Child and Maternal Health
