CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR) provides scientific leadership and service to prevent and control diseases and death that result from interactions between people and the environment all over the world. Human health and well-being are strongly affected by the environment in which we live—the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food and nutrients we eat.
