Occupational medicine is concerned with the recognition and prevention of diseases related to the work environment. The special tools, namely, epidemiology, toxicology, and public health and clinical expertise, are joined by another specialty, environmental medicine. The Environmental Science Center (ESC) of the University of Tokyo was established in April 1975 for the purpose of treating chemically-hazardous wastes deriving from the university. The ESC houses various sections including research, education, operations, management, and also a waste-collection and-treatment division. In this review, the author intends to summarize the activity of the ESC, and then review the approaches we have applied in order to deal with the environmental problems we have faced.
职业医学关注与工作环境相关疾病的识别和预防。其特殊工具，即流行病学、毒理学、公共卫生和临床专业知识，与另一专业领域——环境医学相结合。东京大学环境科学中心（ESC）于1975年4月成立，旨在处理源自该大学的化学危险废物。ESC设有多个部门，包括研究、教育、运营、管理部门，还有一个废物收集与处理部门。在本综述中，作者旨在总结ESC的活动，然后回顾我们为应对所面临的环境问题而采用的方法。
