Air pollution exposure is the largest environmental risk to human health, associated with increased risk of premature death, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, metabolic diseases, and adverse birth outcomes. The presenters of this event will talk about different exposure assessment tools and opportunities in various levels (e.g., personal to national levels) to study the health impact of air pollution.
 

Presented by: 

• Tianjun Lu, PhD
  Tianjun Lu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health at University of Kentucky.
  
  With a background in exposure assessment and urban planning, his research focuses on leveraging sensor technologies and geospatial techniques to develop community-based air monitoring campaigns and empirical air quality models.
   
• Yisi Liu, PhD
  Yisi Liu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health at University of Kentucky.
  
  With a background in exposure assessment and environmental epidemiology, her research focuses on using wearable devices to characterize personal exposures to air pollution and to assess the short-term health impacts of air pollution exposures.

Note: BERD Consultations will be available to audience members after the presentation.
