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.
