| Dr. Patrick Kinney is an air pollution epidemiologist with a strong interest in exposure assessment. He has carried out numerous epidemiologic studies addressing the human health effects of air pollution, including studies of the effects of ozone and particulate matter on children's lung function and on daily mortality in large cities. His recent work has focused on characterizing levels and determinants of indoor, outdoor, and personal exposures to air pollution in the underprivileged neighborhoods of New York City, including studies of indoor allergens, diesel vehicle emissions, volatile organic compounds, PAHs, and other air toxins. He directed an NIEHS-funded intervention trial seeking ways to reduce exposures to indoor allergens among asthmatic children living in Northern Manhattan and the South Bronx. He also is the principal investigator of a study characterizing air toxin exposures among minority high school students living in New York City and Los Angeles. Dr. Kinney co-directs the Exposure Assessment Cores of the Columbia Center for Children’s Environmental Health and the Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan. Dr. Kinney also leads the New York Climate and Health Project, which is developing and testing an integrated modeling system for assessing potential future air quality and health effects of climate and land use changes in the NYC metropolitan area.
