Environmental factors play a significant role in the causation of human disease. Thus, such disease is preventable to the extent that such factors can be identified and either removed from the environment or counteracted. Recognition of this possibility requires intensified efforts to identify the causal factors, to elucidate their mechanisms of action and to formulate appropriate measures for blocking or reversing their effects. The purpose of this Program is to provide training to prepare scientists for active and productive careers in environmental toxicology, with emphases on respiratory, molecular and genetic toxicology. The objective is to prepare the trainees to plan, conduct and interpret toxicological studies which are appropriate to specific scientific issues in question. The scope is broad, and trainees may, for example, by provided with backgrounds enabling them to examine mechanisms of environmentally-related disease as well as to improve technology and methods of assessing biological responses. The Program provides for four predoctoral and two postdoctoral (Ph.D.) positions.

环境因素在人类疾病的致病过程中起着重要作用。因此，只要可以识别这些因素并将其从环境中去除或抵消，就可以预防这种疾病。 认识到这种可能性需要加紧努力，查明因果因素，阐明其作用机制，并制定适当的措施来阻止或扭转其影响。该计划的目的是提供培训，帮助科学家为环境毒理学领域的积极和富有成效的职业做好准备，重点是呼吸毒理学、分子毒理学和遗传毒理学。目的是让学员做好计划、进行和解释适合所讨论的具体科学问题的毒理学研究的准备。范围很广，例如，学员可以通过提供背景知识，使他们能够检查与环境相关的疾病的机制，并改进评估生物反应的技术和方法。该计划提供四个博士前和两个博士后（博士）职位。
