Research
Research in environmental health seeks to understand the effects of external influences on our health. Much of our scholarly work is done in collaboration across the university and with other institutions. Research and other funded projects in our division include:
- Chemical properties in berries that may prevent oral cancer
- Safety of Lake Erie water for recreation and as a source of drinking water
- Effects of automobile traffic on human health
- Ohio Public Health Training Center
- Effects of air pollution reduction in Beijing during the Summer Olympics
