Research Focus

My research focuses on occupational and environmental epidemiology, especially on environmental and occupational causes of cancer as well as on the short and long-term effects of air pollution on health. My research bridges clinical and environmental epidemiology, covering myriad topics, including the health effects arising from exposures to ambient biogas produced in municipal solid waste sites, environmental and occupational causes of disease, and occupational and environmental investigations of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer. One of my recent findings is that chronic exposure to ambient air pollution may cause breast cancer and prostate cancer.
