PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS
DR. MICHAEL KLEINMAN is Associate Director of the Air Pollution
Effects Laboratory and Adjunct Professor at the Department in Commu-
nity and Environmental Medicine at the School of Medicine, University of
California, Irvine. Dr. Kleinman's research program examines the mecha-
nisms by which inhaled toxic chemicals, alone and in mixtures, interfere
with the cardiopulmonary system and with respiratory system defenses,
using both laboratory animals and human subjects. Dr. Kleinman is chair
of the State of California Environmental Protection Agency Air Quality
Advisory Committee, a former member of the Toxicology Committee of
the American Industrial Hygiene Association, and a member of the U.S.
EPA's Science Advisory Board Health and Economic Effects Subcommittee.
Dr. Kleinman is also a member of the Human Subjects Research Committee
and the Biosafety Committee at the University of California-Irvine.
DR. MICHAEL WARTELL is Chancellor of the Indiana University-
Purdue University Fort Wayne with a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from
Yale University. He was involved in the Army Science Board in the 1980's
where issues of chemical and biological defenses were part of Ad Hoc and
Summer Study Groups in which he participated. In 1997, he rejoined the
Army Science Board and is an ax-officio member of the Defense Science
Board. He also serves as chair of the Defense Intelligence Agency Science
and Technology Advisory Board. His positions on these boards are unpaid
and afford a broad view of current activities with regard to protection
against chemical and biological warfare. Dr. Wartell is interested in
