Potential Crisis in Environmental Health Research
A potential crisis looms with the loss of environmental health research due to the federal government canceling and scaling back funding.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University, America's First Research University, worry about the health and economic consequences for society.
"Baltimore is sinking, and the sea is rising,"
says Benjamin Zaitchik, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences, describing the state of environmental health research in an era of extreme weather.
- Excessive rainwater pours into aging infrastructure and underground water-flow channels.
- The soil doesn't stay frozen as long in January, and it rains much more than it snows.
These conditions beget floods, according to Zaitchik.
