Director's Message

Welcome to the McMaster Institute of Environment & Health (MIEH). Building upon the talent and knowledge at McMaster, the goal of MIEH is to facilitate, promote, and publish environmental health research, and to share our expertise with the broader community. Since our establishment in 1996, we have had a long history of interdisciplinary and innovative research studying the complex relationships between the environment and human health. As you look through our list of research projects and reports, you will see that we tend to define both environment and health broadly, recognizing that both are multi-dimensional. We welcome your participation in the Institute, and please contact us to find out more.

Bruce Newbold,
MIEH Director
Professor of Geography
