The first eight centers were established in 1998 to study the effects of environmental factors, such as pesticides and air pollution, on childhood asthma and children’s growth and development. Four more Centers were established in 2001 to study the basis of neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorders such as autism. Additional Centers were established in 2004 and 2007 to investigate how exposure to mixtures of chemicals affects children’s health. Each Center fosters community participation in one or more studies.
