The Department of Environmental Health Sciences strives to equip students with the knowledge and skills to accomplish the following:

• Apply scientific principles in toxicology, industrial hygiene, policy, and oncology to prevent, detect and mitigate environmental public health problems and threats locally and globally
• Conduct research for innovative solutions to environmental health issues
• Investigate and monitor environmental hazards and community health status

Tulane has some of the most advanced equipement I've been able to work with. Before I came here, I knew and understood a lot of the procedures but didn't have access to the equipment. When you come to Tulane, the equipment and facilities are here.
