Community Medicine and Health Care

Research Overview

For over a decade, I have directed the Community Assessment of Freeway Exposure and Health, a series of community-based participatory research projects funded by NIEHS, NHLBI, NLM, EPA, HUD and the Kresge Foundation. CAFEH has published over 50 academic papers on traffic-related ultrafine particle pollution and their association with health in the Boston area. I have worked in community-collaborations with many neighborhoods, including Boston Chinatown and the City of Somerville. I have over 150 publications on how traffic-related pollution, secondhand tobacco smoke, housing conditions, uranium mining and other environmental exposures affect health.
