The Department of Health and Human Services is allocating $200 million toward research examining how multiple chemical exposures affect people's health. The initiative also aims to find ways to decrease farming's dependence on chemical-based pest and crop protection methods.
Federal health officials are committing $200 million to investigate how multiple chemical exposures impact human health and to explore alternatives to chemical-intensive farming practices.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced the substantial funding will support research into what officials call “cumulative chemical exposures” – examining how various chemicals affect people when encountered together over time.
The initiative also focuses on decreasing agriculture’s dependence on chemical-based crop protection methods, potentially affecting farming operations across the region including Delaware’s significant agricultural sector.
