The Institute of Environmental and Human Health - Department of Environmental Toxicology |
|
Texas Tech University and the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center have established as a joint venture The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) to bridge their ability to assess the impacts of toxic chemicals on the environment and on human beings. This initiative employs a medical school and health sciences center interfaced with a comprehensive university, including the Texas Tech University School of Law, and represents an opportunity to address environmental and human health issues from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The Director, Dr. Ronald Kendall, and members of the faculty of The Institute of Environmental and Human Health sit on national boards of other scientific organizations, both national and international. This effort results in the development and implementation of good science and technology in the interface of good environmental policy and economic development.

Wildcat Bluff Nature Center |
|
"Just a few minutes drive from downtown Amarillo is a place to step out of the daily routine and imagine a different time. Over 600 acres of grassland are threaded with a nature trail, offering a sense of isolation and tranquility. There are delicate wildflowers to discover amidst knee-high grasses, huge cottonwoods, and a magnificent bluff. Slow down enough to spot a horned toad cross the trail, a hawk circling overhead, or a dove's nest hidden beneath a bush. Picture the native people who camped here for centuries before settlers followed the water on their westward trek. Reconnect with the timeless rhythm of the natural world and ponder again the impact of civilization."

An Assessment of Potential Energy Savings and Other Benefits from Alternative Fuel Utilization and Employer Trip Reduction Programs |
|
By passing the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) our government intensified efforts to improve the declining air quality in many of our nation's cities. The passage of the CAAA also signaled the acknowledgment that American commuters must modify travel patterns and behavior. Areas defined as non-attainment by the Environmental Protection Agency must improve their air quality to satisfactory levels or face possible punitive sanctions imposed by the federal government. In response to the changing demands of urban mobility, city and transportation officials aggressively began pursuing alternative fuels programs in fleet vehicles as a means to improve air quality. In addition to the successful conversions of vehicle fleets to alternative fuels, transportation officials proceeded to influence home-to-work trips thereby improving air quality through the employer trip reduction programs. While air quality improvements are the impetus for increasing alternative fuels technology and trip reduction, there are other unexpected benefits that are beginning to be realized. This research seeks to establish parameters for the measurements of such ancillary benefits beyond alternative fuels and employer trip reduction programs. [Note: Full text is in PDF format]
