Professor Eun-Hee Ha's research lab focuses on environmental health, particularly the impacts of air pollution and psychosocial stressors on maternal and child health. The lab investigates critical exposure windows during pregnancy and early life, examining how pollutants like PM₁₀ and NO₂ influence adverse birth outcomes and infant health conditions such as atopic dermatitis. A key focus is on identifying effect modifiers, such as residential green space, that may mitigate these health risks. The lab employs longitudinal cohort studies and advanced epidemiological methods to assess environmental and occupational stressors on developmental and respiratory outcomes.

These results agree with the hypothesis that infants are most susceptible to PM(10) in terms of mortality, particularly respiratory mortality.
: PM10 exposure during pregnancy may result in adverse birth outcomes with different critical periods.
Although there is a growing interest in the health effects of psychosocial work stress, studies on the relationships between job stress and adverse reproductive outcome are limited. We, therefore, investigated the associations between prenatal maternal occupational stress and birthweight using 310 mother-infant pairs included in the Mothers and Children's Environmental Health (MOCEH) study. Information on job stress was collected by interviewing women at enrollment during the first trimester of
Few birth cohort studies have examined the role of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) in the development of infantile atopic dermatitis (AD), but none have investigated the role of preventive factors such as green spaces. The aim of this study was to investigate whether exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of <10 μm (PM<sub>10</sub>) during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of development of AD in 6-month-old children and also to exam
