We evaluate the health effects of air pollution and a changing climate, including through the school-wide Center for Climate and Health at BUSPH, which is led by environmental health faculty. We are also interested in the adverse effects of non-chemical hazards such as noise, heat, and social stressors, and how different kinds of chemical and non-chemical exposures accumulate or interact to harm health. Vulnerable populations such as children and people living in poverty in the US and internationally are of special interest to us.
