Kannan’s research and teaching objectives

Our research objectives are to understand human exposure levels and pathways of toxic pollutants and
to study the association between exposures and health effects. We develop novel analytical
techniques for measuring environmental pollutants. We employ novel biomonitoring techniques that
allow the detection and measurement of trace levels of man-made substances in blood, urine, breast
milk or other human fluids/tissue. Biomonitoring is a promising public health tool that can help us
better understand human exposure to a wide range of substances. As biomonitoring technology
advances, more information is being made available to help public and private sector scientists,
medical professionals and policy makers enhance public health, community well-being and worker
health and safety. Trace levels of man-made substances may enter our bodies through a variety of
routes, including eating, breathing, drinking, and contact with our surroundings. Biomonitoring can
help improve public health decisions when it’s part of an integrated strategy that not only identifies
exposure to a substance but also assesses the potential health risk of that exposure. A recent Agency
for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ASTDR)-funded study involves the assessment of
exposure to PBDE among anglers.
In addition to assessing exposures using biomonitoring techniques, we also study the association
between exposure levels to potential health effects. This accomplished by performing case-control
studies of human and wildlife populations. Case-control studies involve the assessment of
relationships between exposure to a risk factor and development of a disease. It compares the
exposure distribution between groups of individuals with and without a disease. The data are analyzed
by appropriate biostatistical models including logistic regression to identify the odds of a target
chemical being associated with a disease. Monterey Bay Sanctuary Foundation which implements
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) research programs recently funded a
study to examine environmental contaminants and the health of sea otters. Sea otters are used as
sentinels of human exposure to toxic contaminants.
