Research
Dr. Hammond is Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. She is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in exposure assessment (for environmental and occupational exposures as well as second hand smoke exposures). She has served on numerous advisory committees for the World Health Organization, the National Academy of Sciences , the Institute of Medicine and the Board of Scientific Counselors for the National Toxicology Program, and she was an author of the US Surgeon General’s report on involuntary smoking. The focus of Dr. Hammond's research has been assessing exposure for epidemiologic studies, both environmental and occupational. From 2000-2011 she led the exposure assessment for the Fresno Asthmatic Children’s Environment Study, (funded by CA Air Resources Board, NLHB of NIH) and she currently leads the Berkeley/Stanford Children’s Environmental Health Center, funded by USEPA and NIEHS. Currently Dr. Hammond's occupational research examines metal exposures and health effects among welders, health effects of solvent exposures among auto mechanics, and cardiovascular effects of occupational exposure to particulate matter; Evaluating the composition of particulate matter, especially metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, has been another focus of her research. Dr. Hammond developed the methods used to assess exposure to secondhand smoke and her work has been instrumental in tobacco control efforts both in the US and globally.
