The Environmental and Occupational Health Department is at the center of national and global conversations about using science to protect workers, the public, and the environment from toxic substances and dangerous conditions. Faculty and staff in the Department have earned a national reputation as researchers and leaders in articulating how public health science is best used in regulatory decision-making, and are called on frequently by congressional committees, federal agencies, national scientific organizations, international public health entities, and the press to discuss environmental hazards and the policies addressing them.
