Current projects incorporate disaster research, asthma and air pollution, and Indigenous environmental health.

Environmental Health Research includes research on the air, soil, sediment, water and food. We pair this research with research translation to ensure that communities, regulators and policy-makers have access to the research.
Environmental health research focuses on predominantly on human health impacts. This approach often does not resonate with Indigenous communities, wherein the environment, animals, plants and humans are inextricably intertwined.
Environmental Health Literacy is defined as the ability to understand that our environment can affect our health.
