USAEHA ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND

The U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA) was established at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, in 1942 to provide scientific and technical services in environmental health to the Army and Department of Defense. Initially focused on industrial hygiene and preventive medicine during World War II, the agency expanded its mission over the decades to include environmental engineering, health hazard assessments, and occupational health services. USAEHA played a pivotal role in monitoring and controlling environmental and occupational health risks at Army installations worldwide. In 1994, the agency was reorganized and merged into the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM), continuing its legacy of protecting Soldier and civilian health.
