About
Maarten A. Posthumus is a leading researcher in occupational and environmental exposure assessment, with a particular focus on characterizing chemical hazards in industrial settings. His work centers on evaluating complex mixtures of airborne contaminants, especially during emerging manufacturing processes. In his most cited study (2004, 9 citations), Posthumus pioneered a comprehensive monitoring approach at a plastics factory employing a novel robotic impregnated tape winding process. By deploying both stationary and personal air samplers, he identified and quantified the specific chemicals released during production, providing critical data for worker safety and regulatory compliance. This research exemplifies his broader contribution to exposure science: translating real-world industrial chemistry into actionable risk assessments. Posthumus’s meticulous methodology—combining field measurements with analytical chemistry—has informed best practices for evaluating novel technologies before they become widespread. While his citation count reflects a focused, high-impact niche, his work remains foundational for researchers and industrial hygienists tackling the challenge of emerging chemical exposures in evolving workplaces.
