Information for Community Groups
The Center is a valuable resource to organizations that are working to improve the environmental health of communities — locally, nationally, and globally. Our scientific research is generating new findings that show how exposures early in life to common environmental pollutants harm children’s healthy growth and development. Our research examines not only the health outcomes of exposures, but the biological mechanisms that trigger illness.
This information is useful for organizations that are working to educate parents, physicians, policymakers, and the broad public about the health effects of environmental contaminants; to mobilize communities to take action; and to implement policy to reduce harmful exposures.
