Kent Pinkerton, Ph.D.

Dr. Pinkerton's research efforts have focused on issues critical to environmental air pollution and their impact on the respiratory system. Three general areas that have been addressed include: (1) mechanisms by which particulates (dust, air pollution from vehicle emissions) produce toxic effects in the lung, (2) effects of oxidant gases on lung injury and repair, and (3) effects of exposure to environmental air pollutants that alter lung development and the formation of enzymes that are responsible for elimination of foreign chemicals from the body during childhood.
