Local and Regional Beach Monitoring

The Environmental Toxicology Program provides to communities
toxicological assessments of environmental data provided by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. In addition, the Environmental Toxicology Program provides support for
the Massachusetts Department of Public Health pesticide and fish toxics
programs in collaboration with the MDPH Division of Food and Drugs. This is a
necessary function for the Center since many of the decisions made regarding
these two important public health issues affect other program areas within the
Center.
