International coverage of UC study on air pollution and anxiety
Environmental Health researchers look at links between traffic-related air pollution and symptoms of childhood anxiety through neuroimaging
A study by researchers at UC and Cincinnati Children's investigating links to air pollution and anxiety received significant international media attention, particularly in the UK, where there has been a push for stronger clean air policies.
Kelly Brunst, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health at the College of Medicine, led the study which investigated exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) and altered neurochemistry in pre-adolescents, specifically looking at the levels of myo-inositol, a metabolite found in brain cells.

UC chemistry alumna gives back to community

UC alum Ann Villalobos was undecided about joining the university’s PhD program in chemistry in 1985. She had graduated from the University of the Philippines—her home country—and gone on to the Tokyo Institute of Technology. She was looking for her next academic step when UC came onto her radar. Moving a world away to Cincinnati to further her education took some convincing for Villalobos. But she was intrigued by what the program had to offer. “I applied to the PhD program at the department of chemistry because the professors collaborate with each other to have a more meaningful, integrated research,” she said. After application, she was accepted. But she wasn’t totally convinced quite yet.
