Overview

About the programme

Our Occupational and Environmental Health research at The University of Manchester investigates the relationship between occupational and environmental exposures (e.g. air pollution, radiation, pesticides, carcinogens), the exposome and human health.

In addition, we carry out studies to determine the impact of interventions to reduce exposure on the health of populations as well as studies of stress and wellbeing and of factors that affect return to work by patients following or during treatment.

These studies are generally highly multidisciplinary, involving epidemiologists and health scientists, statisticians, toxicologists, clinicians, social scientist, molecular scientists, and geneticists.

Programme Structure

Themes of our work and illustrative papers are as follows:

Occupational exposure to chemical, physical and biological agents and risk of adverse health outcomes
Environmental exposure and risk of adverse health outcomes
Biomarkers of occupational and environmental exposures
Intervention studies to reduce occupational, environmental or indoor exposures on health
Return to work following sickness absence
