Environmental Health Engineering

The Biodesign Center for Environmental Health Engineering is set up to safeguarding human health and critical ecosystems. They do so by detecting, minimizing, and ultimately eliminating harmful chemical and biological agents through the design and implementation of cost-effective engineering, industry engagement and public policy. The team works at the regional, national and global scale to better understand and manage key environmental determinants of human health and global sustainability.
