Kyle Steenland
Professor
Faculty, Environmental Health
Secondary Appointment, 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
