Research
I do research on environmental chemical exposure in our home indoor environment, in the EU-project INQUIRE (https://inquire-he.eu/ ).
My PhD project utilizedÌýdata in the SELMA-study. This is an on-goingÌýlongitudinal study of Värmland children thatÌýaims to investigate how exposure toÌýendocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) early in life affectsÌýchildren'sÌýhealth later in life.
The relationship between airway disorders and exposure toÌýa group or EDCs called phthalets areÌýof particular interest in my research.
Teaching
I teach in Public Health courses such as Health, environment and sustainable development and Epidemiology and Public Health Work. I have also taught Chemistry and Biology courses.
