About
Jiaqi Zhou is an environmental health researcher whose work focuses on the invisible chemical exposures faced by the most vulnerable populations: infants and toddlers. Her research centers on inhalation exposure to household pollutants, particularly pesticides and fragrance ingredients in baby personal care products. Zhou’s major contributions include pioneering methods to measure real-world chemical concentrations in a child’s breathing zone—the air they actually inhale. Her most cited study, “Pyrethroid levels in toddlers’ breathing zone following a simulated indoor pesticide spray” (2018, 21 citations), provides critical data on how indoor pesticide applications translate into direct inhalation risks for young children. In her earlier work on fragrance ingredients in baby products (2017, 8 citations), Zhou highlighted the gap between the long history of safe use for these chemicals and the lack of exposure data for infants, who may be more sensitive to respiratory irritation. By quantifying these exposures, Zhou’s research informs safer product formulations and regulatory guidelines, making her a key voice in children’s environmental health.
