Our Mission
The mission of the Environmental Health Service (EHS) is to perform
high-quality research on the causes, prevention, and treatment of
respiratory disease. Health effects of air pollution and other
environmental stresses - indoor, outdoor, or occupational - are our
primary focus.
high-quality research on the causes, prevention, and treatment of
respiratory disease. Health effects of air pollution and other
environmental stresses - indoor, outdoor, or occupational - are our
primary focus.
What are the health consequences of breathing polluted air? Are certain
pollutants more dangerous than others? Are our children, the rapidly
aging population, or individuals with heart disease or chronic lung disease
at a greater risk?
To set protective air-quality standards that are stringent enough but still
cost-effective, regulatory agencies need objective and reliable scientific
information. The Environmental Health Service at Rancho Los Amigos
National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, California, has been providing
public health agencies and the medical community with answers for over
35 years.
