Welcome to the Exposure Research Lab at the University of Michigan! Our research focuses on the characterization of exposures to a range of hazards, as well as evaluation of a range of associated adverse health effects. We work in occupational and community settings both domestically and abroad, and are interested in incorporating new methodologies and exposure sensing technologies into research. We also have a strong interest in translating research findings into occupational and public health practice. The focal research areas of the Exposure Research Lab are:

• Development and refinement of exposure assessment methodologies and evaluation of novel exposure sensing technologies
• Exploration of the auditory and non-auditory health effects of noise, including new exposure sources such as wind turbines
• Investigation of the ototoxic effects of heavy metals
• Characterization of injury risk factors, with a focus on vehicle-bicycle crashes and on injury risk associated with noise and hearing loss
• Assessment of the effectiveness of health interventions and personal protective equipment
