Dr. Tor Oiamo PhD

Dr. Oiamo is an environmental health geographer with a primary focus on exposure science and health impacts of air and noise pollution. This includes assessment and prediction of population exposures through environmental monitoring and the development of geospatial and geostatistical models at local and regional scales, novel population exposure metrics, as well as research to assess health impacts over time and due to urban change. These efforts complement research activities that aim to further our understanding of environmental determinants of health as well as health and disease risks in vulnerable urban populations more generally. Through collaboration with institutions such as Health Canada and Toronto Public Health, these activities are oriented towards relevant environmental decision-making and policy arenas. 

Dr. Oiamo teaches on topics related to environmental decision-making, sustainable development, demography and environmental health, and regularly develops and leads international field studies courses in the Department.
