Standing Committee

Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology

The Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology was formed in February 1986 from the merger of the Board on Toxicology and Environmental Health Hazards (est. 1977) and the Environmental Studies Board (est. 1967). Our mission is to provide our nation with independent, objective advice and dialog on matters related to the impacts of human activities and environmental exposures on environmental quality, human health, and ecosystems.
