Research Abstract |
Dr. Wu's research program focuses primarily on air pollution exposure assessment and environmental epidemiology. The overarching goal of our research is to more accurately characterize air pollutant exposure in critical microenvironments and examine health effect due to air pollution exposure. Recent and current studies involve human exposure assessment studies, development and application of exposure models at individual, neighborhood and regional scales, applications of geographical information system (GIS) in exposure and epidemiological studies, and impact of air pollution exposure on pregnancy outcomes and respiratory illnesses. | |
