Led by Ivan Rusyn, Ph.D., the Texas A&M University SRP Center works to understand how disasters increase the health risks associated with contamination events. They take into consideration the vulnerabilities of communities affected by environmental contamination and work closely with them to identify strategies to reduce hazardous exposures. Center scientists develop, apply, and translate a comprehensive set of tools and models to help first responders, communities, and government agencies characterize and mitigate the human health consequences of exposure to hazardous mixtures, particularly during environmental disasters.
