Linda H. Nie's research develops and applies neutron activation analysis and related nuclear physics measurement techniques to detect and quantify toxic metals (such as lead, aluminum, and manganese) and elements like sodium in human bone and soft tissue. This work is used to study cumulative environmental and occupational exposure to heavy metals and their links to health outcomes like neurodevelopment and cognitive function. The group also contributes to broader environmental exposure and health-outcome studies, including work on urban environment and cardiovascular measures.
