Biography

Miriam Leah Diamond is a Professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on measuring and modeling indoor and outdoor urban emissions, concentrations, and the fate of semi-volatile organic contaminants (SVOCs) including plasticizers and flame retardants. She develops tools to measure SVOCs both indoors and outdoors, aiming to understand human and ecosystem exposure to these pollutants. Her work is vital in assessing the exposure levels of vulnerable populations such as e-waste workers and nail salon employees in the Greater Toronto Area. Additionally, she is engaged in projects that explore the distribution of organophosphate esters in the environment and the fate of brominated flame retardants in indoor settings. Diamond has received recognition for her contributions to environmental science, being named Environmental Scientist of the Year in 2007. Her teaching responsibilities include courses related to contaminants in the environment. She is actively involved in publishing her research findings and has produced numerous articles correlating with her expertise in environmental health and engineering.
