Article Synopsis
- Environmental exposures are common and significantly affect public health, leading to chronic and infectious diseases, but there's a lack of comprehensive data on the health impacts of these contaminants.
- Simulation science has emerged as a solution to address data gaps by using computational methods like PBPK modeling and QSAR modeling to assess environmental health risks more efficiently.
- The ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) effectively utilizes these simulation tools, gaining recognition from external researchers and collaborating across various sectors to enhance public health protection.
Toms River, located in Dover Township, Ocean County, New Jersey, USA, experienced an increased incidence in childhood leukemia, brain, and central nervous system cancers from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s. These findings initiated a series of community-based activities that lead to the establishment of a successful partnership between the community, public health, and environmental agencies. The common goal of this partnership was to investigate linkages between environmental exposures and childhood cancers.
