Environmental Health Sciences - Other Research

Program objective

The mission of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is to research how the environment affects biological systems across the lifespan and to translate this knowledge to reduce disease and promote health. Environmental exposures considered range from chemical, physical, and biologically derived (non-pathogenic) factors humans are exposed to through inhalation, ingestion, or ocular or dermal contact, individually or as mixtures.
