DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Environmental factors play a significant role in the causation of human disease. Thus, such disease is preventable to the extent that such factors can be identified and either removed from the environment or counteracted. Recognition of this possibility requires intensified efforts to identify the causal factors, to elucidate their mechanisms of action and to formulate appropriate measures for blocking or reversing their effects. The purpose of this Program is to provide training to prepare scientists for active and productive careers in environmental toxicology, with emphases on respiratory, molecular and genetic toxicology. The objective is to prepare the trainees to plan, conduct and interpret toxicological studies which are appropriate to specific scientific issues in question. The scope is broad, and trainees may, for example, be provided with backgrounds enabling them to examine mechanisms of environmentally-related disease as well as to improve exposure technology and methods of assessing biological responses. The Program provides for four predoctoral and two postdoctoral (Ph.D.) positions.

描述（由申请人提供） 环境因素在人类疾病的因果关系中起着重要作用。 因此，可以预防这种疾病，以确定此类因素可以被鉴定并从环境中删除或抵消。 认识这种可能性需要加强努力来识别因果因素，阐明其作用机理并制定适当的措施以阻止或逆转其影响。 该计划的目的是提供培训，以使科学家在环境毒理学领域的积极和生产性职业做好准备，重点是呼吸道，分子和遗传毒理学。 目的是准备学员准备，进行和解释适合有关特定科学问题的毒理学研究。 范围很广，例如，可以为学员提供背景，使他们能够检查与环境相关疾病的机制，并改善暴露技术和评估生物学反应的方法。 该计划提供了四个五次和两个博士后（博士学位）职位。
