Their research focuses on several interconnected areas, including health, toxicology, and mutagenesis, as well as sociology and political science, environmental chemistry, pediatrics, perinatology, child health, and global and planetary change. The main topics covered in their work include air quality and health impacts, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances research, environmental justice and health disparities, birth, development, and health, climate change and health impacts, toxic organic pollutants impact, and the effects and risks of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Recent publications by Morello-Frosch include studies addressing the association between historical redlining practices and present-day environmental and health outcomes. Notable papers are:

  • "Historical Redlining Is Associated with Present-Day Air Pollution Disparities in U.S. Cities" (2022), published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters
  • "Redlines and Greenspace: The Relationship between Historical Redlining and 2010 Greenspace across the United States" (2021), published in Environmental Health Perspectives
  • "Associations between historical residential redlining and current age-adjusted rates of emergency department visits due to asthma across eight cities in California: an ecological study" (2020), published in The Lancet Planetary Health
  • "The Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO)-Wide Cohort" (2023), published in American Journal of Epidemiology
  • "Associations between historical redlining and birth outcomes from 2006 through 2015 in California" (2020), published in PLoS ONE

Morello-Frosch collaborates frequently with other researchers, including Tracey J. Woodruff, Amy Padula, Dana E. Goin, Stephanie M. Eick, and Lara Cushing.

Their work has been published across several academic venues. The most frequent include ISEE Conference Abstracts, Environmental Science & Technology, Environmental Health Perspectives, Environmental Health, and Environment International.

Beyond journal articles, Morello-Frosch has contributed to book publications as well, including a work published by Rutgers University Press titled Community Organizing and Community Building for Health and Social Equity, 4th edition (2022).
