Report on Carcinogens
The 14th Report on Carcinogens is released on November 3, 2016. The Report on Carcinogens (RoC) is a congressionally mandated, science-based, public health document that the NTP prepared for the HHS Secretary. The report identifies agents, substances, mixtures, and exposure circumstances that are known or reasonably anticipated to cause cancer in humans.

Research Highlights
The vision of the NIEHS is to use environmental health sciences to understand human disease and improve human health.. On this page you will find some Research Highlights from NIEHS scientists since its founding in 1966.

Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment
Climate change is affecting the health of Americans. As the climate continues to change, the risks to human health will grow, exacerbating existing health threats and creating new public health challenges. This assessment significantly advances what we know about the impacts of climate change on public health, and the confidence with which we know it. While all Americans will be affected by climate change, the report recognizes populations of concern, such as children, the elderly, outdoor workers, and those living in disadvantaged communities, who are disproportionately vulnerable. Read the full report online.

NTP Data Downloads
Have you ever wanted to combine NTP study data with your research? With the NTP Data Downloads web page , you can bring NTP data to your desktop by downloading a few files. Summary data on all NTP chemicals can be downloaded in a single file. If you would like more detailed data, you can download an individual study type. Currently, CHO Cell Cytogenesis, Drosophila, Micronucleus, Mouse Lymphoma, Rodent Cytogenetics, and Salmonella study types are the study types available for detailed data downloads.
