Research & Professional Interests:
An environmental
epidemiologist, whose research has focused on the impact of
the urban workplace, ambient and residential environment on
human health and well-being, and on designing, implementing
and evaluating interventions and policies to reduce the deleterious
effects of hazardous workplace and environmental exposures.
Prior to joining the faculty of Hunter College in 1999, directed
programs in childhood lead poisoning prevention, occupational
and environmental epidemiology and employee health and safety
at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Currently serves on the New York City Board of Health. Most
recently, research has focused on the impact of substandard
housing and its related exposures (e.g. deteriorated lead
paint, mold, vermin and safety hazards) on children's health
and on policies to improve housing and other urban environmental
conditions.Residential Env Health Hazards, Assessment and
Intervention, Epidemiology
Primary
Teaching Areas:
Biostatistics, epidemiology, research methods, environmental
health and safety, public health policy.

Professional Interests:
Use of a variety of laboratory,
field, and computational techniques to study the dispersion
of airborne particulate matter. Recent research has explored
aerosol dispersion in a residential urban street canyon and
infiltration from the canyon into homes. Work included some
numerical research on the impact of building topography on
aerosol concentrations in street canyons.
Prior to joining the faculty of Hunter College in 2005,
worked as an environmental project scientist for Alion
Science and Technology through a contract with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and
Development.Pollution. Reserach areas: dispersion in urban
neighborhoods, indoor air quality, computational &
experimental fluid dynamics, particulate matter transport.
Primary Teaching Areas:
Ventilation, Air Quality, Noise and Radiation, Industrial
Site Visits, Environmental Health Sciences

Professional Interests:
Franklin E. Mirer is a
toxicologist and certified industrial hygienist. His main
professional interests are risk assessment and policy in
support of safety and health standards, and exposure
assessment in the occupational environment. As Director of
the UAW Health and Safety Department he participated in each
round of automobile industry collective bargaining since
1976. He served on a number of advisory committees to NIOSH,
the OSHA Metalworking Fluid Standards Advisory Committee,
several National Research Council committees, and an IARC
Working Group. Dr. Mirer delivered testimony before OSHA
regarding a dozen health and safety standards, and has
testified before House and Senate Committees on occupational
safety and health and regulatory policy matters, including
ergonomics.
