Biography
Allan Just's research investigates how better estimates of the quality of the air we breathe and the temperature in our neighborhoods reveal previously underestimated exposure disparities and health impacts.
IBES and Epidemiology Associate Professor Allan Just led the development of this state-of-the-art national spatiotemporal exposure model, which reconstructs daily particulate air pollution estimates for use in a wide range of health studies.
New research from IBES Associate Professor Allan Just and Faculty Fellow Joseph Braun, both epidemiologists in the Brown University School of Public Health, suggests that poor air quality increases marathon runners' race times.
IBES and Epidemiology Associate Professor Allan Just led the development of this state-of-the-art national spatiotemporal exposure model, reconstructing daily temperature estimates for use in a wide range of health studies.
Analyzing 16 years of race results and air pollution levels, a team of researchers at the Brown University School of Public Health found that poor air quality had a negative effect on marathon times.
IBES faculty members Allan Just and Elizabeth Fussell will play key roles in the Climate, Health and Aging Innovation and Research Solutions for Communities center.
