Tufts Environmental Health Program
http://ase.tufts.edu/deancoll/unprog/ehealth.html
Tufts' Environmental Health program is an interdisciplinary program based
in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the College
of Engineering. Historically, professional programs in environmental health
were established in schools of engineering to promote research on control
of infectious disease, purification of water supplies, and sanitary disposal
of human wastes. Today, focal points of concern have been broadened to
such challenging issues as environmental pollution, epidemiological aspects
of chronic illnesses, occupational health, risk assessment and management.
