Connecting Your World with Your Health
For researchers in NC State's Center for Human Health and the Environment (CHHE), science is a community effort and aiding communities around the state is a regular part of the job. Recent activities have included answering residents' questions about carbon monoxide and mold issues in Durham public housing, helping Wilmington residents better understand the chemicals in their drinking water and holding a Q&A in a Raleigh food hall about the dangers of vaping. Rob Smart, Goodnight Distinguished Chair in Molecular Toxicology in the Department of Biological Sciences, is the founding and current director of CHHE, one of about 25 National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Environmental Health Sciences Core Centers in the United States.
