Ellen M. Wells studies environmental exposures to heavy metals like mercury and lead, and air pollution, and how these affect human health, particularly in communities near contaminated sites. Her work often involves community-engaged research methods, meaning she collaborates directly with residents of affected areas to characterize environmental hazards and exposure risks. She also has publications on related public health topics such as COVID-19 prevention behaviors and environmental justice.
Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with a peak around 2018 and a gap in 2023, followed by renewed activity in 2024-2026, averaging under 3 papers per year over the last 5 years.
