The organization conducts cutting-edge research on environmental health hazards, working with communities, health and education professionals, and policymakers to understand and mitigate these hazards. They develop science-based multimedia tools to educate individuals, families, and communities about public health threats. Environmental Health Trust translates research findings into shareable data points that health professionals, individuals, and community networks can use to educate lawmakers and executives about controllable environmental health risks and common-sense changes needed to reduce those risks. They have worked on campaigns to ban smoking and asbestos, explored the factors behind high rates of fibroid tumors, breast cancer, and endometriosis in young African-American women, and created environmental wellness programs in Wyoming and Pennsylvania to address the environmental impacts of energy development. Recently, they have been helping businesses, universities, and schools create materials on the impacts of cell phone and wireless radiation on public health and ways to reduce risks from radiation exposure. The organization is led by Dr. Devra Davis, an internationally renowned scientist and author of "Disconnect," a book that details the link between cell phone radiation and health damages.
