Biography

Deborah H. Bennett is a Professor at UC Davis Health with a specialization in Environmental Health and Public Health Sciences, specifically in Epidemiology. She focuses on exposure science, investigating the measures and models concerning chemicals found in our environments such as dust, air, and consumer products. Dr. Bennett's research involves studying volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds (VOCs and SVOCs), which include substances like plasticizers, electronics, cosmetics, flame retardants, and pesticides. By collaborating with epidemiologists and toxicologists, she examines how chemicals interact with the body and initiate biological reactions that can lead to various diseases and conditions, including asthma and autism. Her pioneering work has resulted in a greater understanding of the risks associated with chemical exposure in non-residential settings. Additionally, she has introduced metrics to calculate exposure levels and has received several awards for her contributions to the field.
