Dept of Environmental Health Sciences

Upper Manhattan’s academic corridor hums with quiet ambition, where research labs and lecture halls share the sidewalks. One cornerstone of that energy is the Dept of Environmental Health Sciences, a university division where public-health questions meet urban realities. They occupy a slice of the Columbia University Medical Center campus, just off Broadway at 722 W 168th St, New York, NY 10032, where the city’s density becomes both subject and laboratory.

From air-quality modeling to toxicology training, their programs tackle the invisible threads that tie environment to human well-being. Students and faculty often spill into Riverside Park for fieldwork, turning the neighborhood into a living classroom. When the next research question arises, reach them at (212) 305-3927 or pull up a map for directions. If you’re curious about how the city breathes, this is where the data starts.
