Christina is a Principal Environmental Public Health Scientist at the UK Health Security Agency. Her background is on Atmospheric/Air Pollution science and she holds a PhD on lung dosimetry of inhaled particulate matter. Her research includes estimating personal and population exposure to air pollution and other environmental factors, implementation and development of atmospheric/climate/air quality/dispersion models, exploring interventions aiming to improve air quality and their effectiveness.
Christina’s current scientific interests also focus on the performance of health impact assessments and quantification of mortality and morbidity effects from environmental hazards, including climate change. She is also working on the development of tools that provide surveillance of air pollution and associated health effects, which can be used for evaluation of interventions.
She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers in international scientific journals and conferences, co-authored book chapters and research reports on exposure to environmental factors and health impact assessments, ambient and indoor air quality.
