Prevention

At the heart of the Center for Environmental Medicine is a passionate belief in the power of prevention. By identifying causative environmental changes and agents, we can make progress toward reducing exposures to the most critical contaminants in our air, water, earth, and food, while at the same time reducing the contaminant load in our ecosystems.

Research

Through prevention research, we will be able to apply tools we already have to solve problems that already exist. We will be able to create new tools to predict and prevent future problems that arise from the need for humans to manipulate their environment. At the same time, we will be able to make progress in sustaining and improving the health of ecosystems not only for the sake of those systems, but for the survival of the people who depend on a healthy planet.
