The following operators are available : & : AND, | : OR, ! : NOT, as well as levels of parentheses.
Example: "oral & ! doctoral & ( acute | ( occupational & ! university ))" will search for texts containing "oral" but not "doctoral" and either "acute" or "occupational", but "occupational" only if there is no occurence of "university".

Projects

>> Emissions of PBDEs from Urban Sources in the Great Lakes Region

This research aims to better understand the emissions of PBDEs from residential buildings and to estimate emissions from urban sources into ambient air that may ultimately be deposited into the Great Lakes region

>> PBDE concentrations in human gestational tissues

The aim is to quantify partitioning of PBDEs into human placenta, extra-placental maternal/fetal membranes and umbilical cord blood in the general population.

>> Sources, Transport and Impacts of PBDEs In The Russian Arctic

This partnership between UM and Centre for Environmental Chemistry in Obninsk, Russia will address the migration and impacts of persistent organic pollutants in the Arctic region.

>> Emissions of Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs) from Industrial and Commercial Sources in the Great Lakes Region

This research aims to better understand the distribution of mobile BFRs in residential, commercial and industrial buildings and to estimate emissions from urban sources into ambient air that may ultimately be deposited into the Great Lakes region

>> Inflammatory responses of human gestational membranes

The objectives are to determine the mechanisms and downstream consequences of inflammatory responses in human gestational membranes exposed in vitro to environmental pollutants.

>> Source to body burden modeling of PAHs and flame retardants toxic impacts

This project aims to explore and better understand the source-to-body fate, exposure and body distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and PAHs. PBDEs are considered emerging contaminants of great concern due to both their toxicity and the rapidly rising levels found in human and in the environment. The idea is to couple multimedia fate and exposure models with physiologically-based pharmacokinetic.. >> more

>> In vitro biomarker platforms to rapidly assess the neurotoxicity of priority and emerging chemicals

Thousands of different chemicals are released into our environment but few risk assessment tools are available to rapidly assess their potential to cause harm. Based on the premise that neurochemical changes precede overt neurotoxicity, our main objective is: to develop, validate, and use a practical in vitro/in vivo biomarker platform to screen the early effects of high-priority emerging contaminants.. >> more

>> Multiscale Multimedia source to intake modeling

Creation of an adaptive multimedia model determining intake fractions at local (1km grid around the emission source), regional (200km grid within the continent of emission) and continental (world divided in continents) levels. Special emphasis is given to further develop modeling of exposure in the food chain linked to highest intake fractions and high level of uncertainties. This research builds up.. >> more

>> Batterman Lab - Exposure and Environmental Impact Assessment

Leader: Stuart Batterman (Ph.D.)

Our teaching and research address a wide range of topics in occupational, indoor and environmental settings. Topics include exposure assessment (especially for particulate matter and volatile organic compounds or VOCs); emerging contaminants in occupational, ecological and environmental settings (e.g., brominated flame retardants); biological monitoring (e.g., blood, breath); air quality monitoring.. >> more

Tzechun Chen, B.S.	tzechun@umich.edu (734) 936-3657
I was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1983. I received the B.S. degree in public health in National Taiwan University. I'm studying in Department of Environmental Health Science for M.S. degree. I'm working in Dr. Batterman's lab and doing the research about airborne brominated flame retardants.
