• Description:
  This lecture will highlight recent research at Colorado State University to advance the science of exposure assessment, with an emphasis on new sensor technologies for measuring aerosols and air pollution. Many of these technologies are designed to overcome classic limitations associated with personal exposure measurement: time, cost, usability, and scalability. These limitations have hindered our ability to survey hazards, to conduct epidemiology, and to design effective interventions to protect human health. The ultimate goal of this work is to simplify the process of exposure assessment and to challenge a longstanding paradigm in our field: that scientific measurements must be made solely by the scientific community.
