Environmental Health Scientist Casey Bartrem

Environmental health scientists study how environmental toxins impact human health, and work to mitigate such risks. They may be employed by government agencies, universities, or private companies, and specialize in areas such as environmental remediation (cleanup); consumer-product and chemical-safety testing; food manufacturing; landfill management; and occupational health and safety. It’s a multi-disciplinary field that pulls from social science, environmental science, and public health. The work can involve research, training, sampling sites, cleaning up polluted areas, and advising policymakers. Casey Bartrem is an environmental health scientist who serves as the executive director of Terragraphics International Foundation (TIFO) in Moscow, Idaho.
