Dear Friends,
At the Center we focus on the environmental health and justice for children. War now threatens the health of children in Ukraine. Together with the United Nations, Columbia University, and many peoples and nations, we stand with the people of Ukraine. In peace and solidarity.
"We need peace. People’s lives, their dignity and human rights must be protected."
Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General

An Environmental Health Scientist Widens the Lens, January 18th, 2022
As the saying goes: beauty is only skin deep. Yet the way beauty is defined often inflicts damage that cuts deeper. In her research, Ami Zota, an incoming faculty member in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences, has exposed the hidden risks of chemicals used in beauty products and documented their disproportionate harms among women of color.
Beyond a simple account of environmental risk factors, Zota, who will join the Columbia Mailman faculty in June, has widened her scientific lens to account for the roles played by social forces and societal injustices in shaping exposures. Over the last decade, she has shared her insights on these injustices with community groups and policymakers to change how consumer products are used and regulated.
