Health concerns of aging—especially cognitive decline and memory loss in older age—have huge public health implications as the United States and world populations are shifting in distribution toward older ages. While a variety of toxicants contribute to cognitive aging, we are focused on heavy metals (Pb, As, Mn, Cd, Cr, and Se) and metal mixtures because, despite years of regulation, clean-up, and remediation efforts, metal contamination in many Superfund sites persists and continues to threaten public health.
Our NIEHS-funded Superfund Research Program Center focuses on Metals and Metals Mixtures: Cognitive Aging, Remediation, and Exposure Sources (MEMCARE). Our research focuses on understanding and mitigating the effects of exposures to metals and metal mixtures found at Superfund sites, particularly during critical windows of exposure such as early life, on late-life cognitive health.
