Welcome to the EHS Department

In the Department of Environmental Health Sciences, we are committed to furthering research and education at the interface between human health and the environment. The research in our department is extremely interdisciplinary and ranges from studies on children's exposure to particulates from diesel buses, to studies on anthropogenic impacts on intertidal habitats, to studies on the mechanism of toxicity of metals and nanoparticles. We collaborate extensively with the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Management, Public Policy, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Law, and the College of Letters and Sciences at UCLA as well as with the LA County Department of Public Health, Regional Agencies, State Departments and Boards, and Federal Agencies, industry, labor, and consulting groups. Our students are broadly trained and have gone on to pursue a wide range of careers in both the public and private sectors as researchers, educators, managers, policymakers and/or public health practitioners. We hope that you will join us in our pursuit of excellence because

a healthy environment is good for everyone!
