Environmental Health Effects of WTC

Toxicology Research

To address WTC issues, funding was made available through the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This support is designated to fund several projects, including toxicology initiatives related to the environmental health aftermath of September 11th. Toxicology is the study of the nature, effects and detection of poisons and the treatment of poisoning. Other WTC-related projects made possible with NIEHS funding include research focused on Health Effects, Monitoring and Community Outreach.
