in occupational epidemiology, including her early work on stanclardization of pulmonary
function for field! studies. She has explored strategies to reduce bias in a prospective lung-
function study of Vermont granite workers an(1 cross-sectional studies of autoworkers exposed to
metalworking fluids, and has studied health effects in several occupational environments such as
auto body-shop workers exposed to isocyanate and workers chronically exposed to organic dust
and endotoxin.
