About
Dr. Taewon Han is a leading researcher in environmental exposure science, with a primary focus on children's respiratory health and bioaerosol monitoring. His seminal work, "Use of a robotic sampling platform to assess young children’s exposure to indoor bioaerosols" (2011, 22 citations), introduced an innovative approach to capturing realistic, time-activity-based exposure data in infants and toddlers. By deploying a robotic platform to mimic a child's movements and breathing zone, Dr. Han addressed a critical gap in asthma etiology research—accurately measuring young children's contact with allergens, mold spores, and endotoxin. This methodological breakthrough has informed more precise exposure assessments and helped clarify the environmental triggers of early-life asthma development. Dr. Han's contributions bridge engineering and public health, demonstrating how novel sampling technologies can transform our understanding of indoor air quality risks. His work continues to influence exposure science, offering practical tools for protecting vulnerable populations from respiratory hazards.
