Nicole Deziel

Nicole Deziel is an environmental epidemiologist at Yale School of Public Health and the lead author of a significant study published in Environmental Health Perspectives. Her research highlights the concerning links between early-life exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) and increased risks of developing papillary thyroid cancer in children and adolescents. Deziel emphasizes the urgency of understanding these associations, particularly given the widespread nature of air pollution and artificial light exposure.
