Research

  • Dr. Pope has conducted research dealing with a variety of natural resource and environmental economics issues. His cross-disciplinary research in environmental epidemiology resulted in seminal studies on the effects of air pollution on pulmonary and cardiovascular health. Over the last 20 years, Dr. Pope has conducted or collaborated on key studies of short- and long-term air pollution exposure which have influenced environmental public health policy and air pollution standards in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere. He has also played prominent roles in reviewing and interpreting this literature, and is one of the world's most widely cited and recognized experts on the health effects of air pollution.
