Environmental
Health Sciences Research Center (EHSRC)
The center's research and outreach efforts focus primarily on rural
and agricultural populations at risk for rural and environmental diseases
and injuries. EHSRC
projects target issues such as genetic and environmental risk factors for birth
defects, the role of grain dusts in airway inflammation and airflow obstruction,
risk factors for farm work-related injuries, health effects associated with elevated
concentrations of radon gas, and the application of new technologies to remove
pesticides and other agricultural hazardous wastes from the environment. The
center also sponsors a summer institute for rural youth, which provides environmental
health sciences educational opportunities for high school students from small
towns across Iowa. For more information, call (319) 335-4216, e-mail ehsrc@uiowa.edu,
