Research
My research is centred around environmental exposures and health in young adults. During my PhD I studied exposure to tobacco from fetal life to adulthood and health effect in young adulthood, including cardimetabolic health, atopic dermatitis and asthma. I am particuarly interested in health effects of snus (Swedish moist snuff).
Currently, my research focuses on 1) environmental exposure to air pollution, noise and green space in relation to cardiometabolic health in young adults as well as 2) exposure to environmental chemicals and allergic outcomes in young adults.
