  • Health, environment, cognitive aging

Lanphear has contributed to key publications with notable papers, which highlight their focus areas:

  • "Pollution and health: a progress update," 2022, The Lancet Planetary Health
  • "Association of lead-exposure risk and family income with childhood brain outcomes," 2020, Nature Medicine
  • "The effects of iniquitous lead exposure on health," 2020, Nature Sustainability
  • "Gestational Exposures to Phthalates and Folic Acid, and Autistic Traits in Canadian Children," 2020, Environmental Health Perspectives
  • "Associations Between Prenatal Urinary Biomarkers of Phthalate Exposure and Preterm Birth," 2022, JAMA Pediatrics

The scientist's frequent coauthors include:

  • Joseph M. Braun
  • Kimberly Yolton
  • Aimin Chen
  • Kim M. Cecil
  • Antonia M. Calafat

Lanphear's research has appeared repeatedly in several publication venues, reflecting their active engagement in environmental and health sciences. Their frequent venues are:

  • ISEE Conference Abstracts
  • Environmental Research
  • Environment International
  • UNC Libraries
  • Environmental Health Perspectives

Their work bridges multiple disciplines by combining rigorous environmental science approaches with public health relevance. The extensive focus on toxics, especially endocrine disruptors and heavy metals such as lead, addresses issues of exposure risk and developmental health outcomes. Lanphear's studies often investigate critical intersections between environmental factors and child health, which is underscored by publications in pediatric and environmental health journals.
