이 연구실은 대기오염 물질, 특히 미세먼지, 초미세먼지, PFAS 등 환경 오염 물질이 정신건강과 발달장애에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있습니다. 노인층의 우울 증상과 어린이의 ADHD 증상과 같은 정신신경질환과 환경 노출 간의 인과관계를 밝히는 데 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 특히 조기 노출 단계에서의 영향을 집중적으로 분석하고 있습니다. 장기적인 건강 영향을 예측하고 정책적 대응 방안을 모색하는 데 기여하고자 합니다.

Our study suggests that increases in PM10, NO2, and O3 may increase depressive symptoms among the elderly. Of the symptoms evaluated, ambient air pollution was most strongly associated with emotional symptoms.
There is evidence that exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Previous studies have focused on prenatal exposure to PFAS, and only few studies have examined the associations of early-childhood exposure, especially at low exposure levels. This study explored the association between early-childhood exposure to PFAS and ADHD symptoms later in childhood. In 521 children, we measured the serum levels of six PFAS in per
Ultrafine particles (UFP; particulate matter <0.1 μm in diameter) may be more harmful to human health than larger particles, but epidemiological evidence on their health effects is still limited. In this study, we examined the association between short-term exposure to UFP and mortality and hospital admissions in Copenhagen, Denmark. Daily concentrations of UFP (measured as particle number concentration in a size range 11-700 nm) and meteorological variables were monitored at an urban background
