Bio
Longxiang Li is an environmental health scientists. His research focus on assessing human exposure to environmental pollutants, as well as the potential health effects. He has a particular interest in the effects of unconventional oil and gas development (better known as fracking) on local residents. Funded by National Institute of Health, he is developing a satellite-based machine learning exposure model to better understand their influences. Dr. Li is also interested in indoor air pollutants, such as radon. He has developed high-resolution radon models, which enable health scientists to investigate other health effects of radon. Before joining Emory in 2024, Dr. Li studied and worked at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Improved Radon Maps Can Help Prevent Lung Cancer in the U.S.
In November, the White House convened a roundtable of radon researchers to share their expertise, including Longxiang Li, ScD, assistant professor of environmental health at Emory's Rollins School of Public Health. Li shared insights from his efforts to update nationwide radon concentration maps, which were recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
