Environmental Exposure Core
The Environmental Exposure Core (EEC) provides researchers with expertise in study design, selection of appropriate and effective exposure assessment methods, as well as guidance and tools for interpretation of exposure assessment data. Qualified researchers can apply for financial assistance through the EHSC Seed Grant Program.
Our responsibilities:
- Exposure Science Laboratory
- Analysis for Organics/Toxicants Laboratory
- Environmental Analysis Laboratory
- Particle Measurement and Modeling Laboratory
- UCD-Interdisciplinary Center for Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry
- Air Quality Research Center
- Primate Inhalation Toxicology Laboratory
- Sensor Development Laboratory
- Aerosol Mass Spectrometry for Toxicant Analysis
- Community Engagement Core. The ECC collaborated with the CEC to provide technical assistance to stakeholder groups concerned about community exposure.
Our Leadership
The Environmental Exposure Core at UC Davis brings together leading scientists dedicated to understanding how environmental chemicals and air pollutants affect human health. Co-directed by Dr. Deborah Bennett and Dr. Anthony Wexler, the core combines expertise in exposure science, aerosol research, and engineering to trace how harmful substances move through the environment and into the body. Their work spans a wide range of health outcomes — from asthma and cancer to autism and Alzheimer's disease — informing both research and public health policy. Together, they lead a collaborative effort to advance the science of environmental exposure and reduce the burden of pollution-related disease.
