Introduction

Welcome to the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences (ENHS) Program. In the ENHS program, we are concerned about the influences of the natural or man-made environment on human health. Examples of these influences include the impact of global climate changes, pesticides in foods, drinking water supplies, air pollution, work-related exposures and injuries, and natural and manmade disasters on human health outcomes.   The field of ENHS encompasses many disciplines including air quality, industrial hygiene, water quality, occupational and industrial health, health risk assessment, hazardous materials management, toxicology, disaster planning and preparedness, and emergency response management.   The ENHS Program was designed to provide scientific and public health training to graduate students committed to protecting the environment and to improving the health of workers and the general public.

"I really enjoyed my experiences at the school of public health. The faculty and staff always went the extra mile to make my learning experience a great one. When I graduated I felt that I had been prepared to be a knowledgeable and successful public health professional." Crystal S. Giles, MPH. Accepting Best Poster Award		Taylor Gwin, MD MPH.
