Dr. Zhihua (Tina) Fan is an assistant professor at the Department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ). She is also a Graduate Faculty Member of the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University. She is currently taking the lead on research projects to assess personal exposure to air toxics in a “hotspot” in Camden, NJ, to characterize community exposure to a suit of air toxics generated by different land use patterns in an urban community(Paterson, NJ), to examine potential cardiopulmonary effects associated with acute short-term exposure to fine particulate generated by vehicle emissions for school crossing guards in a real-world, to develop sampling and analytical method for the measurement of hexavalent chromium in air and house dust, and developed personal passive sampler to measure exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in community settings. She is one of the key investigators of the chromium exposure study conducted in Jersey City, human exposure studies on health effects associated with exposures to ozone, secondary organic aerosols, and diesel particles conducted in the controlled environmental facilities.
Dr. Fan received her Ph.D. Degree from the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill in 1995. Prior to joining UMDNJ in 1998, Dr. Fan was a Research Chemist at Research Triangle Institute (RTI) and conducted research on the development and evaluation of EPA standard methods for the measurements of HAPs from stationary source emission, herbicides in foods and beverages. |
