保护工人免受疾病和伤害对我们国家的健康至关重要，也是环境健康的重要组成部分。这些问题包括压力，室内空气质量和其他危险。该领域的研究通过评估工作环境以识别潜在或实际的健康问题并提出解决方案来控制和预防由心理，化学，物理和生物威胁引起的疾病或伤害，从而解决了这些新兴问题。
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree program is a full-time degree program that offers a unique interdisciplinary learning experience where the course of study is individually tailored based on the student's interest in understanding and finding solutions to pressing problems in environmental health and engineering. The goal of PhD training in EHE is to prepare graduates to engage in scholarship and professional practice that creates new knowledge, use research to transform practice and improve the health of the environment and the public, and effectively communicate research findings to the public. The program requires didactic coursework followed by an average of four to five years of research towards a doctoral dissertation (also referred to as a thesis on official forms and committees).<br>Protecting workers from disease and injury is vital nationally and internationally and is an important component of environmental health. We address work-related health problems and design solutions to control and prevent disease or injury caused by chemical, physical, psychosocial, and biological threats. Our goal is to promote and maintain the health of worker populations, particularly those who are most vulnerable, to ensure healthy and productive working lives. Our research includes occupational exposure assessment, industrial hygiene, occupational nursing, development and validation of sensors and biomarkers, epidemiology, population health management, health promotion, policy analysis, and intervention studies focused on disease prevention.
