Arbets- och miljömedicin

Vår forskning inom arbets- och miljömedicin handlar om olika miljöfaktorers betydelse för hälsa och omfattar alla åldersgrupper. Det kan handla om arbetsmiljö, inomhusmiljö eller utomhusmiljö, och exponeringarna kan vara såväl fysiska, kemiska, biologiska, psykosociala som organisatoriska.
Beskrivning av vår forskning
I vår forskning använder vi oss av både kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder och gör både epidemiologiska studier, experimentella studier och interventionsstudier samt utvecklar nya mätmetoder.
Arbets- och miljömedicin (AMM) vid Akademiska sjukhuset är, utöver att vara en enhet vid institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper, även landstingen i Dalarnas, Gävleborgs och Uppsala läns gemensamma resurs. Det övergripande uppdraget är att utgöra ett kunskapscentrum och en expertfunktion för övriga aktörer i upptagningsområdet som arbetar med att förebygga sjukdom och dålig hälsa relaterat till arbetsliv och miljön inom- och utomhus. Verksamheten är i grunden medicinskt orienterad.
