CEHN - California In addition to offering CEHN’s diverse national programs, CEHN has provided state-specific resources and has undertaken projects to protect children and families from environmental health risks. Our projects to promote research, education and policy on children’s environmental health in California, have been replicated in other states or regions. Until 2005 we had an office in California led by Renee Robin.
