在这里学什么？

The Environmental Quality, Sustainability and Health (EQSH) track is a multidisciplinary program that blends the sciences of environmental health and sustainability sciences. Environmental health is aimed at understanding, identifying, characterizing and mitigating environmental exposures that may adversely impact human health and the environment. Sustainability science addresses the dynamics of human-environment systems and the design, implementation, and evaluation of practical interventions to evaluate, mitigate, and minimize the consequences of human impacts on society and the planet.

Unique to the University of Michigan, the graduate program in EQSH provides students with the background and skills to evaluate and develop sustainable solutions to prevent environmental exposures.

Exposures to environmental stressors, including chemical and microbial contaminants in air, water, food and consumer products, are studied through a combination of field measurements, laboratory studies, modeling, risk, health and life cycle assessment. Health and environmental risks and impacts are evaluated using a comprehensive life cycle approach, addressing local to global scales. This knowledge provides the basis for designing and promoting innovative and sustainable solutions and policies that prevent adverse exposures, and for developing synergies and solutions that improve human and ecological health in a sustainable manner.

What do EQSH Scientists Do?

At the interface between sustainability and health, the EQSH scientist works in a variety of private, governmental and academic settings to meet present and future needs for environmental management related to human health.

We study, identify and characterize the natural background and the extent of chemical, physical and biological contaminant impacts on our environment and health. We communicate knowledge to strengthen our ability to anticipate, recognize and respond to environmental health challenges

Careers
