Research

  • Research, clinical work and risk assessment tasks have been my main areas. My research concerns occupational and environmental skin diseases, particularly skin allergy, hazardous skin exposure and skin exposure assessment. Clinical, experimental and epidemiological methodologies have been applied. I have had many expert assignments for the EU, OECD, Swedish Chemicals Agency and others concerning risk assessment and risk management. The research concerning skin sensitizing metals has been of vital importance in reducing the nickel allergy risk in the EU.
