Our Center is engaged in studies examining air pollution, drinking water contaminants, endocrine disruptors, noise, and metals. We aim to optimize the health and wellbeing of infants, children, and adolescents by reducing their exposure to toxic environmental pollutants.
What We Do
We provide a hub at Brown University and across the region for children’s environmental health research and action. Our Center’s interdisciplinary group of faculty, postdocs, clinicians, students, staff, and practitioners conduct research, teaching, and community engagement in Rhode Island and around the world.
Members and affiliates of Center for Children's Environmental Health:
· Investigate the connections between human health and environmental pollutants.
· Support trainees as they develop, learn or apply innovative approaches to important public health problems
· Engage with governments, communities, and individuals to improve environmental conditions for children
Our Mission
We strive to be leaders in understanding the health consequences, determinants, and patterns of environmental chemical and non chemical exposures in pregnant women, infants, children, and adolescents. By identifying unique periods of vulnerability to environmental chemicals and biological that are affected by chemical exposures, we can develop interventions to improve population health and well-being.
