关于我们
The Division of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health focuses on environmental and occupational health concerns, from investigating hazards in our environment to establishing the basis for public health policy. Environmental health is focused on how the environment - where we live and work, what we eat, the air we breathe, etc. - impacts human health. The aim of our program is to improve the health of individuals and communities by conducting rigorous and collaborative research to identify risks, reduce hazards, and inform public health policies. We prepare future leaders through MPH, MS, and PhD degrees. Our areas of study include environmental chemistry, food safety, infectious diseases, environmental and occupational epidemiology, exposure sciences, global environmental health, industrial hygiene, injury and violence prevention, occupational and environmental health nursing, occupational and environmental medicine, and toxicology. We also offer a 4+1 combined undergraduate/graduate track, and a certificate program in American Indian Public Health and Wellness. Our graduates are leaders in the field, making a difference in protecting public health regionally, nationally, and around the globe in business and industry, education, state and federal government, healthcare, military services, public health organizations, and many other sectors.

Assistant Professor, Patricia Jewett, was featured in an article in Mad in America highlighting her study on the relationship between structural adversity and suicide/self-injury in minoritized youth. The study, published in Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, found that structural adversity - such as food insecurity, housing instability, and parental incarceration - is strongly linked to suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, and repeated self-injury among racially and ethnically minoritized youth. https://lnkd.in/gqFUD7_h

For 40 years, the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MNTAP), housed within the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, has been a shining example of the power of collaboration and innovation. Established by the Minnesota legislature in 1984, MNTAP has partnered with businesses across the state to improve workplace safety as well as reduce waste, conserve energy, and implement sustainable practices that protect our environment. Their work demonstrates that small, practical changes can lead to big results—for businesses, communities, and our planet. Current projects include helping businesses identify and reduce forever chemicals such as PFAS. I invite you to learn more about MNTAP’s legacy and their ongoing commitment to making Minnesota a healthier place for all – today and for future generations.
