Welcome!

This web site has been created for the purpose of sharing scientific information. The primary goal of this site is to facilitate the free exchange of data, findings, and ideas. Among the information that you will find at this site are dermal exposure and absorption data collected from various studies conducted in my laboratory over the last five years, summaries of research projects that evaluated the predictive capability of regulatory models of exposure to soil/dust contaminants, and additional research areas of interest. Images (from slides) displaying the various laboratory techniques used, as well as abstracts and diagrams from articles published in peer-reviewed journals are placed throughout the site. In addition, I have included descriptions of two courses I teach in the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Washington. Materials found include course syllabi, supplemental course material, and addtional information that students taking the courses will find helpful.

This homepage provides you with a site map that is an overview of all of the internal links found at this site. Additional links to external web sites are not shown. By simply clicking on any of the keyword(s) of interest, you will be forwarded to the specified link. I hope the information in this site proves helpful to you.
