Environmental Health
3 reportsResearch on Environmental Health examines an ecological resource, pressure, response, or human-environment relationship using field data. Evidence comes from toxicology, waterborne hazards, and primary observations, and competing models remain viable when observations are sparse or indirect.
Air pollution epidemiology and direct observations frame the evidence. The analysis addresses which health outcomes are associated and what evidence supports causation, comparing competing models without treating agreement as proof of mechanism.

NASA Aircraft Will Track Farm Pollution Over Colorado
NASA's FarmFlux airborne campaign is planned to begin with low-altitude flights over Colorado farmland in fall 2026, measuring methane, ozone, ammonia, particulates and other pollutants while tracing nitrogen exchange between agricultural systems and the atmosphere.
NASA Faces Challenge of Toxic Dust for Future Mars Astronauts
NASA's Martian Dust Limit Working Group has reviewed the health risks posed by Mars dust, which contains carcinogenic silica and heavy metals, and is developing exposure standards and mitigation strategies for future crewed missions
LED Streetlights Are Worsening Light Pollution Despite Efficiency Gains
Cities worldwide have rapidly adopted LED streetlighting for energy savings, but poor deployment and lack of digital controls have increased light pollution, undermining both environmental and public health benefits
