Chemical hazards

Dr. Garry has more than 20 years of experience analyzing the biological effects of chemicals on humans and other organisms. He has extensive experience analyzing mechanisms of toxicity for both metals and organic chemicals, and has developed science-based toxicity criteria and guidelines and critically reviewed those developed by others. In the field of regulatory toxicology, Dr.

As Regional Science Liaison to EPA’s Office of Research and Development, I work with senior management in ORD’s Six National Program Offices, which include Human Health Risk Assessment, Chemical Safety for Sustainability (green chemistry, LCA, high throughput, comp tox, AOPs, etc.), Sustainable and Healthy Communities, Air/Climate/Energy, Homeland Security, and Safe and Sustainable Water Resour

Phillip Campbell started in radiation protection while serving onboard nuclear submarines while in the US Navy. He got out of the Navy in 2002 and was hired by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center as a Radiation Safety Technician. Campbell was promoted to Assistant Radiation Safety Officer in 2006. In 2010, he accepted a position as a Health Physicist at Madigan Army Medical Center.

Dr. Takaro is a physician-scientist trained at the University of Washington, Occupational and Environmental Medicine Program. His work is directed primarily toward determining if linkages exist between occupational or environmental exposures and disease and finding public health based preventive solutions where such hazards exist.

My role as Clinical Assistant Professor includes research and teaching in areas such as chemically related illness (CRI), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome (MCS), brain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with cognitive complaints, evaluation of permanent impairment, prevention of long-term disability, management of chronic pain, treatment with opioids, and other

In my role as Program Director of the Public Health Residency Program at Madigan Army Medical Center, I have enjoyed providing instruction on emergency preparedness and response for occupational and public health physicians in training.

Specialist in evaluation and treatment of occupational injury and disease, chemically-related illness, Federally-regulated medical exams (DOT, FAA, USCG, Department of Defense, OWCP, Harborworkers and Longshore, Jones Act).

One of the main questions addressed in Dr. Furlong's laboratory is the genetic variability of insecticide metabolism and sensitivity in humans. His research group has cloned and sequenced the cDNA's from humans, rabbits, and mice that encode paraoxonase (PON1) an HDL-associated enzyme that inactivates the toxic metabolites of several toxic organophosphate pesticides and nerve agents.

Dr. Michael Dodd is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington. He received his B.S. in Civil Engineering (2001) and his M.S. in Environmental Engineering (2003) from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D.

Our general area of research focuses on the gene-environment interactions that explain susceptibility of humans to toxicity from heavy metal exposures. Heavy metals such as mercury and lead are important public health hazards, because they accumulate in the brain and other organs, causing cognitive deficits, personality changes, and impaired motor function.
