Research Interest & Projects
Dr. Lee has extensive research experience in indoor air, industrial hygiene and exposure assessment. His initial research interest was in the development of new monitoring devices and exposure assessment. He developed a passive sampler for carbon monoxide and evaluated passive samplers for nitrogen dioxide and ozone. He also developed a sampling device to collect expired carbon monoxide for biological monitoring. He conducted various exposure assessment studies including but not limited to chronic exposure of children to ozone, exposure of carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide in indoor sport facilities, international exposure assessment studies, association between carbon monoxide exposure and biological markers, residential nitrous acid exposures, residential ozone decay rate, air exchange rate in automobile, development of assessment methodology of exposure-related behavior, exposures to agricultural dust and pesticides, health effects of biomass combustion in developing countries and effect of secondhand smoke on indoor air quality.
