The Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Center at Dartmouth brings together a unique interdisciplinary team of scientists and health care providers committed to advancing the understanding of environmental contaminants’ impact on children’s health. Currently, our research focuses on heavy metal contaminants in food and drinking water such as arsenic and mercury. We are conducting four interdisciplinary studies designed to promote understanding in relation to heavy metal contaminants, birth outcomes, and the health of infants and young children. Information about each project can be found by clicking the respective links on the navigation bar to your left.
In addition, we are in the process of developing ways to promote the findings of our research to communities and health care providers. It is our goal to become an important resource to communities and health care providers and to learn more about their specific needs relating to children’s health and the environment.
