Biological
Response to Environmental Health Hazards
| Deadline:
|
Not
specified |
| Summary:
|
The
pourpose of the program is to focus on understanding
how chemical and physical agents cause pathological
changes in molecules, cells, tissues, and organs and
become manifested as respiratory disease, neurological,
behavioral and developmental abnormalities, cancer,
and other disorders. Understanding biological responses
to environmental agents is one key to understanding
the human health effects of exposure to environmental
agents, and is the cornerstone to identifying those
exposures that pose a hazard and threat of disease,
disorders and defects in humans. A first step in understanding
biological responses is identifying and characterizing
those biological, chemical and physical environmental
agents that are hazardous to health. By understanding
the relationship between environmental exposures and
the subsequent development of disease or biological
injury, human health may be better protected. These
studies are conducted in the hope that they will lead
to the development of effective disease prevention strategies.
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
(NIEHS) grants also support studies of the mechanisms
of toxicity of such ubiquitous agents as metals, natural
and synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and materials such
as asbestos and silica, and natural toxic substances.
Specific attention is paid to the effects of these agents
on various human organ systems, on metabolism, on the
endocrine and immune systems, and on other biological
functions. |
