Children’s Environmental Health

From lead exposure to air pollution, we're exploring the way our environment impacts the youngest among us.

Our researchers are dedicated to promoting the health of children by understanding the determinants, health effects and biological action of environmental pollutant exposures from before conception until adolescence. They conduct studies examining pesticides, drinking water contaminants, metals, and chemicals used in consumer products.
