Environmental health research and regulation.

Environmental health research and regulation.

This symposium will present the results of our joint research effort. These reports will deal with the effects of both chemical and physical factors in the environment as they interact with organisms through a variety of pathways and produce a mul-tiplicity of biological effects. However diverse these studies appear to be, they all have one common objective: to produce experimental data which w...

Research by environmental health scientists.

RECENT studies of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have demonstrated that the putatively pure preparations of CEA were not homogeneous. Rule and Goleski-Reilly (1973), by the isoelectric focusing of saline extracts of tumour materials, detected 6 major and 6 minor CEA reactive peaks between pH 2 0 and 9 0. Coligan et al. (1973) demonstrated by isoelectric focusing and ion exchange chromatographic...

Environmental public health systems and services research.

Edi tor ’s Note : NEHA strives to provide up-to-date and relevant information on environmental health and to build partnerships in the profession. In pursuit of these goals, we feature a column from the Environmental Health Services Branch (EHSB) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in every issue of the Journal. In this column, EHSB and guest authors from across CDC will hig...

BACKGROUND Environmental health researchers frequently study people in occupational, educational, recreational, or domestic settings who are exposed to hazardous agents. OBJECTIVE/DISCUSSION Deciding whether-and how-to inform research subjects about risks they face in their environment can be a challenging task for investigators. Because legal rules and professional guidelines do not cover th...
