Environmental and Occupational Health

In the United States and globally, countless people live and work in environments that contain hazards that can make them sick or injured. That’s where you can help improve the health and well-being of workers and communities. 
 
Environmental and occupational health professionals identify and measure hazards, study potential adverse health effects and discover new ways to control hazards.
