Biostatistical review and comments on causal and
epidemiological relationships between diesel exhaust exposure and human lung cancer. Major
findings, including absence of an apparent causal relationship, were presented to the
Clean Air Science Advisory Committee (CASAC) in May of 1998. The attached report contains
detailed comments and up-to-date technical references, including many web links. These
comments generally support CASAC's decision to have EPA revise their draft risk assessment
and offer constructive suggestions for new methods and approaches that can help to
overcome limitations in earlier risk assessments. See the attached report for more information. |

Statistical design of sampling procedures for
residential soils surrounding a hazardous waste site. The new statistical methods,
developed in cooperation with the regional EPA, helped to focus the investigation and
produce high-quality data for decision-making at far less cost than would have been
expected using older sampling designs. |

Simulation model of the hematotoxic effects of
drugs such as cyclophosphamide on stem cell populations in the bone marrow and more mature
blood cell populations in the marrow and in circulating blood. The model has been shared
with other scientists and hematologists and used to make useful predictions that were
subsequently confirmed by experiments in mice. |
