Training in Environmental Health to Reduce
Chronic Disease in Latin America
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
Environmental exposures early in life contribute significantly to some of the
most common chronic diseases such as asthma, obesity, and diabetes. Despite
this, few health care providers are trained to study, diagnose, treat, and
prevent disease of environmental origin. This program provides training in the
identification, prevention, research, and treatment of pediatric environmental
health for Latin American health care providers and scientists.
