Children's Environmental Health Center 

The Children’s Environmental Health Center (CEHC) protects children against environmental threats to health.

Children are not simply 'little adults'. They are uniquely sensitive to toxic exposures in the environment. Toxic exposures in early life can affect health and cause disease in childhood and across the entire human life span.

Through scientific research, these exposures can be discovered and prevented.

Research and prevention are the work of our Center.
