Midwest Hazardous Substance Research

The Midwest Hazardous Substance Research Center (MHSRC) is one of five regional hazardous substance research centers in the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) established the centers in 1989 to encourage the development of better and safer methods for assessment and clean up of hazardous substances. Each center has both research and outreach components - researchers develop new cleanup technologies and outreach staff provide technical asistance to communities affected by hazardous substances.

Michigan State University's Center for Integrative Toxicology builds upon recognized research strength on the health and environmental effects of pollutants. With over 50 affiliated faculty who are distinguished in a wide range of scientific disciplines, the center offers an innovative and highly integrative environment for research, teaching and learning in toxicology.
