Affiliations & Activities
Dr. Zhou’s research mainly focuses on environmental exposure assessment, health impact assessment, and economic valuation of mortality and morbidity risks. For environmental exposure assessment, Dr. Zhou has studied exposure to air pollution (such as PM2.5, ozone, air toxics) and UV radiation. In addition, Dr. Zhou’s studies analyzed health impacts for different climate change scenarios, as well as health impacts corresponding to different policy interventions to reduce air pollution. Dr. Zhou has also conducted benefit cost analysis for public health actions to reduce lead in drinking water, and estimated economic valuation of selected illnesses related to environmental pollution.
