My research interest broadly are in the area of public policy and the interface between human health and the environment. This interest has included research air and water quality and health, environmental lead contamination and remediation, bioaerosols, food borne illness and environmental health in Aboriginal communities. More recenly this interest has extended to include the part played by the tectonic environmental changes linked to the industrial revolution in the recent human evolution of disease alleles linked to chronic or degenerative disease.
