This section of the web site presents different research interests that
our laboratory focuses on. There are currently two primary areas of research:
(1) dermal pathway exposures and (2) the evaluation of regulatory models.
Dermal pathway investigation has included soil contact experiments in the
laboratory, a greenhouse, and in the field, phone surveys, and contaminant
absorption experiments. Summarized results, aswell as abstracts from articles
published in peer-reviewed journals can be found in this portion of the
web site. Data will be posted in the future.
The second major area of research involves the evaluation of current regulatory models' ability to predict exposures and the assessment of assumptions used in those models. Typically, this involves the development and validation of results predicted by computer-generated models to real-world, biomonitoring data. Our efforts to date have focused on models used to predict exposure to soil contamination and determine soil cleanup standards. Additional applications are pending.
We have also spent time working in additional research areas including human exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the development of microbial risk assessments.
