My research and teaching interests lie in the field of Environmental Health. Active research programs include:
- Effects of particulate matter on daily morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases in large cities.
- Chemical characteristics of fine particles responsible for the observed health effects.
- Exposure and health impacts related to indoor and outdoor air pollution including studies of indoor allergens, diesel vehicle emissions, volatile organic compounds, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), and other air toxins.
- Water and human health issues, such as drinking-water quality and human health risks associated with water contaminants.
