Overview
The Environmental Health Sciences program of University of California, Irvine (UCI) is integrative – students in the M.S. program take courses in exposure science, toxicology, epidemiology and statistics. This broad grounding in environmental health sciences prepares our students to understand the variety of methods and perspectives that can be applied to environmental health research problems. We are interdisciplinary and collaborative.
Our students and faculty are conducting research on:
- Effects of particulate matter air pollution on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, reproductive system, pregnancy outcomes, and cancer.
- How ionizing radiation for brain tumor therapy on earth or from galactic cosmic rays in space adversely affects cognition and ovarian function and protective countermeasures that could prevent these effects
- Potentiating effects of copper in drinking water on Alzheimer’s disease progression
- Estimation of individual exposures and health effects in communities with drinking water contaminated with perchloroethylene or perfluorooctanoate
- how swimming in the ocean affects the skin microbiome.
