\nThe National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is expanding and accelerating its contributions to scientific knowledge of human health and the environment, and to the health and well-being of people everywhere. <\/span>NIEHS provides the following databases & galleries as resources that provide useful information<\/span><\/p>\n
\nIn the course of our daily lives, human beings are exposed to many substances. Most of these chemical and physical agents are harmless at everyday doses, while others have the potential to cause adverse health effects. The mission of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) is to partner to build knowledge and advance toxicological sciences to protect and promote human health.<\/p>\n
\nEnvironmental Health Perspectives<\/em>\u00a0(EHP<\/em>) is a monthly journal of environmental health research and news published with support from the\u00a0National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.<\/p>\n
\nThe DR2 Program provides training, funding, and a\u00a0<\/span>Resources Portal<\/a> of tools to empower human health research in response to disasters and public health emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe mission of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is to protect human health and the environment.<\/p>\n
\nThe Ohio Emergency Management Agency is the state’s central point of coordination for response to and recovery from disasters. When not in a response or recovery mode, our focus is to ensure that Ohio and its citizens are prepared to respond to an emergency or disaster and to lead mitigation efforts against the effects of future disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) was created by the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. It is one of ten agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation concerned with intermodal transportation.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The FRA eLibrary contains all the documents that are found throughout the FRA Public Website. Multiple pages on the website may link to the same eLibrary item based on its set of metatdata.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
