Environmental Health Research Act of 2005

H.R. 3313, the Environmental Health Research Act of 2005, proposed the creation of up to six specialized research centers dedicated to studying how environmental factors impact women’s health. These centers would conduct clinical research and develop public education programs focused on preventing diseases linked to environmental exposure.

The bill also aimed to establish a comprehensive federal program to investigate "hormone-disrupting" chemicals and their effects on the health of women, children, and wildlife. For everyday citizens, this legislation was designed to improve public safety by identifying harmful toxins in the environment and providing healthcare professionals with better training on how to protect patients from chemical-related health risks.
