Referrals & Clinical Consultation
Health care professionals, parents, public health agencies, educators and community members can call our specialists to discuss pediatric and reproductive environmental health and exposure issues.
Pediatric and obstetric providers can arrange for their patients to be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team staffed by experts in environmental medicine, pediatrics and clinical toxicology. The clinics are open to children from infancy to adolescence, and pregnant women, for evaluation of exposures to toxicants or illness that may be related to environmental exposures.
To initiate a referral or a consultation, call the WSPEHSU at (415) 514-0878, or email us at pehsu@ucsf.edu.
Research
The PEHSU does not conduct research, though our clinicians and scientists often do conduct research in their work in areas such as childhood asthma and air quality, heavy metal and chemical exposures, reproductive environmental health, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
