Equipping professionals and parents to ensure healthy futures for children.
Western States Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit at UCSF
We provide expertise and resources on the connections between pediatric and reproductive health and the environment. Children have higher exposures to environmental contaminants than adults and are also more vulnerable to the health effects of those exposures because they are still developing. The WSPEHSU works to reduce these risks by:
- Providing training for health professionals
- Offering consultations to families and communities
- Developing educational resources on environmental health issues that affect children
