About
Laura Campo is an environmental and analytical chemist whose research focuses on the biomonitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and emerging fuel oxygenates. Her most cited work, a 2006 study published in *Analytica Chimica Acta*, established a highly sensitive method for detecting trace levels of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), and methyl tert-amyl ether (TAME) in human urine using headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. This methodological advance, which has garnered 19 citations, provided a critical tool for assessing human exposure to gasoline additives—a pressing environmental health concern. Campo’s contributions lie at the intersection of analytical innovation and public health, enabling researchers to quantify low-level exposures that might otherwise go undetected. Her work has been instrumental in understanding how these compounds accumulate in the body, supporting regulatory efforts to limit their environmental release. By refining detection limits and simplifying sample preparation, she has made such analyses more accessible for large-scale biomonitoring studies. Her research continues to inform the safe use of fuel oxygenates and the protection of vulnerable populations from chemical exposure.
