Naval Health Research Center
Environmental Health Effects Laboratory (EHEL)
The mission of NHRC/EHEL is to (1) develop the
biochemical data necessary to characterize the toxicity of
materials of interest to the Navy; (2) use these data to
formulate occupational and environmental health-hazard
evaluations and risk assessments, including appropriate personnel
exposure limits, which address Navy specific circumstances of
exposure; and (3) develop and maintain a cadre of naval personnel
skilled in the discipline of toxicology and its application to
health-hazard evaluation and risk assessment.
NHRC/EHEL research reflects the unit
responsiveness to the changing technologies of science while
maintaining thrusts in areas that are directly relevant to our
most important customer, the fleet sailor.
As the Department of Defense realigns
organizations and resources, NHRC/EHEL is configured to continue
its mission while optimizing the material, personnel, and
financial resources under its stewardship. Further, NHRC/EHEL is
well on its way to becoming the Tri-Service Toxicology Center of
Excellence in Neurobehavioral and Inhalation Toxicology Research.
