Polyurethane Foam Wristbands as Personal Passive Samplers of Ambient Particulate Exposures to Lead and Other Metals.
Journal article Environmental science & technology · June 2026 Wearable wristband passive samplers are a tool for evaluating personal exposures to chemical mixtures such as semivolatile organic compounds. However, these samplers are ineffective for particulate-bound chemicals such as metals because they do not accumul ...

Journal article Environmental science. Processes & impacts · May 2026 Previous studies have examined firefighters' exposure to chemicals associated with fire calls and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS); however, little attention has been given to exposures in the fire station itself. This study measured volatile PFA ... Full text CiteAssessing Nondietary Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Firefighters Using Silicone Wristbands.
Journal article Environment & health (Washington, D.C.) · April 2026 Firefighters are uniquely exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from use of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) and potentially from PFASs-treated turnout gear. This study assessed firefighter's ambient (nondietary) exposure to PFASs using si ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
