About

Dr. Manjie Fu is a leading environmental health researcher whose work focuses on the critical intersection of indoor air quality, particulate dynamics, and early childhood exposure. Her research centers on understanding how the built environment, particularly the near-floor microenvironment, influences the health of vulnerable populations, especially infants. Dr. Fu’s most notable contribution is her pioneering study on "Particle Resuspension Dynamics in the Infant Near-Floor Microenvironment" (2021), which has garnered 28 citations. In this work, she ingeniously integrated chamber experiments using a robotic infant surrogate with a material balance model to quantify how carpet dust—laden with microbial and chemical material—is resuspended and inhaled by infants. This research fundamentally challenges conventional exposure assessments by demonstrating that infants, due to their close proximity to floors, are exposed to significantly greater quantities of resuspended dust than older children or adults. By providing a mechanistic understanding of this unique exposure pathway, Dr. Fu’s work has profound implications for designing healthier indoor environments and informing public health guidelines aimed at reducing early-life respiratory and developmental risks.
