Environmental Health Partnership (EHP)
2004 Program Description
The Superfund Basic Research Program is critical to the discovery of the health effects and risk assessment of contaminating materials. The theme of the SBRP at UF focuses on the health effects of chlorinated organic compounds and related Superfund chemicals, specifically as they relate to bioavailability, transport and metabolism, endocrine effects, and reproduction and development.
Through educational update and professional development, talented science teachers gain knowledge and first hand experience of Superfund research taking place in their communities. In turn, they will educate their students and communities about the hazards of environmental contamination. EHP pairs teachers with researchers involved in the Superfund Basic Research Program at the University of Florida for an interactive research experience.
