Frederick R. Davis works at the intersection of history of science, environmental history, and public health, focusing on the history of pesticides, toxicology, and regulatory science in the United States. Much of his recent output centers on a book about DDT, organophosphates, and how scientists and regulators assessed pesticide risks, alongside book reviews and essays on environmental and science history topics. This work would suit students interested in the historical and social dimensions of chemical regulation and environmental health rather than laboratory environmental science.
