Our goal is to protect and promote human health by providing a healthy environment.
Our primary work involves developing methods & assessing exposures to commonly used chemicals (i.e. pesticides, flame retardants, plasticizers, heavy metals, etc.). Researchers in our laboratory developed the first method to measure poly-brominated diphenol ethers in human brain tissue, the first method to measure melamine in urine, and the first method to analyze the herbicide atrazine and its metabolites in biological samples. AESEHL is one of only three laboratories in the U.S. that utilize tandem mass spectrometry-based methods in EH research; with AESEHL housing five mass spectrometry-based instruments: GC-MS with CI, GC-MS/MS with EI, LC-MS with ESI, LC-MS/MS with ESI and ACPI, & ICP-MS.
