Sarah Henderson,听Scientific Director Environmental Health Services at the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC)
Scientific Director, National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health (NCCEH),
I oversee a broad program of applied research, surveillance, and knowledge translation to support evidence-based environmental public health policy and practice in BC and across Canada.
This role requires me to be a generalist rather than a specialist, and my work spans a wide range of topics including: air pollution from all provincially relevant sources (wildfire smoke, residential wood smoke, industry, road dust, shipping, and vehicles); extreme weather events; radon gas; food safety; water quality; and exposures managed by the Drug and Poison Information Centre (DPIC). Most of my work requires the collection, processing, integration, analysis, and communication of health and environmental data, for which I am a proficient and enthusiastic R user.
