Associate Professor of Epidemiology (Environmental Health Sciences); Co-Director, Yale Center for Perinatal, Pediatric and Environmental Epidemiology (CPPEE)
Dr. Deziel is leading a project related to exposure to shale gas development (“hydraulic fracturing”) and risk of childhood health outcomes. Within the context of this project is an assessment of proximity to unconventional oil and gas development and drinking water contamination and an evaluation of spatial and temporal trends of unconventional oil and gas development. She is also working with Dr. Michelle Bell at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies to explore associations between exposure to PM2.5 and O3 and risk of respiratory and cardiovascular hospitalizations and how these associations may be impacted by a changing climate.
