Welcome!

I conduct interdisciplinary research on air pollution and climate change. The following topics are within my realm of interest:

• modeling of ozone and particles on urban, regional and global scales
• air pollution science and management in developing nations
• integrated assessment
• international air pollution transport
• integrated planning of air pollution and climate mitigation

Research Highlights

"We conducted a global estimate of the number of people who die prematurely each year due to exposure to anthropogenic ozone and particulate matter.  This was the first estimate to be based on results of a global chemical transport model.  Our results showed greater numbers of annual mortalities than a previous study by the World Health Organization, in part because of the inclusion of rural populations.  For details, see Anenberg, S. C., L. W. Horowitz, D. Q. Tong, and J. J. West (2010) An estimate of the global burden of anthropogenic ozone and fine particulate matter on premature human mortality using atmospheric modeling, Environmental Health Perspectives, 118(9): 1189-1195
