Anna-Sofia Preece

<p>I do research on environmental chemical exposure in our home indoor environment, in the EU-project INQUIRE.</p>

<p>My PhD project utilized&nbsp;data in the SELMA-study. This is an on-going&nbsp;longitudinal study of Värmland children that&nbsp;aims to investigate how exposure to&nbsp;endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) early in life affects&nbsp;children's&nbsp;health later in life.</p>

<p>The relationship between airway disorders and exposure to&nbsp;a group or EDCs called phthalets are&nbsp;of particular interest in my research.</p>

<p>I teach in Public Health courses such as <em>Health, environment and sustainable development</em> and <em>Epidemiology and Public Health Work</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I have also taught Chemistry and Biology courses.</p>
