About
Dong Hee Choi is a leading researcher in environmental health and indoor air quality, with a particular focus on the occupational hazards faced by healthcare professionals. Her most-cited work, "Influence of Surgical Smoke on Indoor Air Quality in Hospital Operating Rooms" (2016, 34 citations), is a landmark study that systematically analyzed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during laparoscopic surgery. By conducting field measurements across eight surgeries, Choi provided critical evidence on how surgical smoke degrades air quality in operating rooms, directly impacting the safety of surgeons and staff. This research has been instrumental in advocating for better ventilation systems and protective measures in hospitals. Beyond this, Choi's broader contributions span environmental exposure assessment and public health, where her work has influenced guidelines for safer clinical environments. Her findings are frequently cited by researchers and policymakers aiming to reduce occupational risks, cementing her reputation as a key voice in the intersection of environmental science and healthcare safety.
