Wolfe Street, Room E6632 Baltimore Maryland 21205 Mail kkoehle1@jhu.edu Globe https://publichealth.jhu.edu/faculty/2928/kirsten-koehler Kirsten Koehler, PhD ECMC Director Dr Koehler' goals are to improve exposure assessment methods to inform occupational and public health policy. Her research goals involve the use of direct-reading instrumentation to improve spatiotemporal exposure assessment. Direct-reading (i.e. “real-time”) monitors can rapidly assess exposures to various hazards. Her Career Development Award involves coupling estimated exposures with a known location to identify occupational sources of these hazards. Contour plots of the hazard concentration over space, known as concentration maps, have recently been used to assess the spatial variability of hazards. Concentration maps have the potential to be powerful because they are easily comprehensible for workers, managers, and occupational/environmental health scientists to locate areas of concern. In the ambient environment, she is interested in spatiotemporal exposure assessment by pairing direct-reading instruments with a GPS unit to apportion exposures to different microenvironments. She is an investigator on a study in which we are using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to determine whether commuters can reduce their exposure to traffic-related air pollution by changing their route or mode of transportation (driving vs. bicycling). Additionally, she is the P.I. of an award to investigate the indoor exposures for this cohort. While she believes there is great potential for direct-reading instruments to aid in the identification of exposure hazards, it can be dangerous to apply such a methodology without understanding the uncertainties associated with this new form of exposure assessment. Her continuing research interests include investigating the use of traditional spatial statistical methods like Kriging and more novel methods employing Bayesian statistics. She is also interested in developing novel aerosol samplers to improve the relationship between exposures and health effects.

Toxic Overburden: 100 Years of Environmental Injustice and Resistance. Subject: [ehe-faculty-all] Youth-led EJ Exhibit at the Peale Museum – Thursday, April 10 @ 5:30 PM On Thursday, April 10 at 5:30 PM EST , we are so excited for and invite you to the Exhibition Opening Reception for Toxic Overburden: 100 Years of Environmental Injustice and Resistance at the Peale Museum (225 Holliday St., Baltimore, MD 21202). This will be an opportunity to learn about the history of environmental harms and environmental justice action in South Baltimore as told by and directed by youth community leaders and other advocates. If you would like to attend the opening reception, please register here: https://thepeale.org/event/exhibition-opening-reception-toxic-overburden/ . We will provide a light dinner and drinks to celebrate this remarkable work. There will be a panel discussion with four environmental justice youth leaders from Benjamin Franklin High School in Curtis Bay, South Baltimore. Please share this invitation with your networks! We hope to see you there and please reach out with any questions to myself ( maubour1@jh.edu ) and Dr. Nicole Fabricant ( nfabricant@towson.edu ). Date: April 10, 2024 at 9:30:00 PM Address: 225 Holliday St, Baltimore, MD 21202, USA Previous Next < Back to List
