Pediatric Environmental Health Center | Research and Innovation
In addition to providing clinical services, the staff and affiliated staff are doing research to answer important questions in pediatric environmental health, including:
- How do lead and mercury affect children of different ages?
- What is the best way to treat children with lead and mercury poisoning? When should medications that bind metals be used?
- For adolescents that work: what type of toxic exposures do they have, and how can overexposures be prevented?
- What do other health professionals, such as pediatric primary care providers, need to know about pediatric environmental health?
- What are the best ways to promote education about pediatric environmental health issues?
