Deborah Bennett, MS, PhD
Professor
Dr. Bennett's research focuses on the measurement and modeling of organic compounds in the indoor environment, an area of great importance from a health perspective. Compounds of interest include particulate matter, volatile and semi- volatile organic compounds. Ultimately, the goal of her work is to develop tools to help policy makers reduce our exposure, and subsequent health effects, to pollutants in the environment.
She accomplishes her work through two primary means, by advancing exposure science through her own projects, as well as by working to support environmental epidemiology projects conducted by others. Her current work focuses on childhood asthma, autism, and rapid evaluation of exposure in indoor environment.
