PROJECT COORDINATOR, School of Public Health, Environmental Health
Department of Environmental Health, Boston University School of Public Health
(https://www.bu.edu/sph/about/departments/environmental-health/)
The Department of Environmental Health at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) has a long history and national reputation of interdisciplinary research to address the health effects of environmental exposures. Our work addresses the health effects of exposures to complex mixtures of chemicals, including chemicals contained in consumer products as well as contaminants of water, food, and soil such as lead or mercury. We evaluate the health effects of air pollution and a changing climate, including through the school-wide Center for Climate and Health at BUSPH, which is led by environmental health faculty. We are also interested in the adverse effects of non-chemical hazards such as noise, heat, and social stressors, and how different kinds of chemical and non-chemical exposures accumulate or interact to harm health. Vulnerable populations such as children and people living in poverty in the US and internationally are of special interest to us.
Within the Department of Environmental Health there is a Workforce Development group that houses the two BUSPH grant-funded training centers: the federally-funded New England Public Health Training Center (NEPHTC), and a Massachusetts Department of Health-funded programs, the Local Public Health Institute (LPHI).
