Kyle  Steenland

Professor

Faculty, Environmental Health

Jointly Appointed, Epidemiology

I work on adult lead exposure and cancer, household air pollution and gas cookstove interventions, and PFOA and a variety of diseases.  I have a special interest in epidemiologic methods.  I work in Peru and other Andean countries in relation to environmental health
