Science and Science-Based Tools to Address Persistent Hazardous Exposures to Lead

The National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) strives to provide up- to-date and relevant information on environmental health and to build partnerships in the profession. In pursuit of these goals, NEHA has partnered with the Office of Research and Development (ORD) within the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) to publish two columns a year in the Journal. ORD is the scientific research arm of U.S. EPA. ORD conducts the research for U.S. EPA that provides the foundation for credible decision making to safeguard human health and ecosystems from environmental pollutants. In these columns, authors from ORD will share insights and information about the research being conducted on pressing environmental health issues. The conclusions in these columns are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official position of U.S. EPA. Dr. Andrew Geller is the senior science advisor and executive lead for environmental justice and lead research at U.S. EPA ORD.
