🌍 This #EarthDay, we're thinking about what environmental health really means — it's not just clean air and water. It's what those exposures do to our DNA. Environmental mutagens affect ecosystems, human health, and heritable genetic integrity. That's the science EMGS members pursue every day. Protecting the planet = protecting our DNA 🧬 #Mutagenesis #Genomics #EnvironmentalHealth #EMGS
