Climate Change, the Indoor Environment, and Health 270 CLIMATE CHANGE, THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT, AND HEALTH expertise in the design of epidemiologic investigations of environmental hazards and is nationally recognized for her expertise in occupationalhealth and environmental-health nursing. Her work aims to identify culturally appropriate interventions to decrease the effects of environmental and occupational health hazards in vulnerable populations, including workers and young children. Dr. McCauley was previously the Associate Dean for Research and the Nightingale Professor of Nursing in the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. She received a bachelor of nursing degree from the University of North Carolina, a master's in nursing from Emory, and a doctorate in environmental health and epidemiology from the University of Cincinnati. She is a Member of the Institute of Medicine. William W. Nazaroff, PhD, is the Daniel Tellep Distinguished Professor and Vice-Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of California, Berkeley. His main research interest is in indoor air quality, with an emphasis on pollutant-surface interactions, transport and mixing phenomena, aerosols, source characterization, exposure assessment, and control techniques; and his teaching activities include a course that assesses the technologic opportunities for mitigating climate change. Dr. Nazaroff is coeditor of Indoor Air and Vice President of the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate Academy of Fellows. He received his BA in physics and his MEng in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, and his PhD in environmental engineering science from the California Institute of Technology. Eileen Storey, MD, MPH, is Chief of the Surveillance Branch, Division of Respiratory Disease Studies, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She has been serving as Acting Chief for the Surveillance Branch since February 2009. She was formerly Chief of the Division of Public Health and Health Policy and Director of the Center for Indoor Environments and Health at the University of Connecticut Health Center. Dr. Storey's research focuses on the spectrum of respiratory disease associated with indoor environments, with particular interest in the relationship between building-related upper respiratory syndromes, such as rhinitis and sinusitis, and the development of lower respiratory syndromes, such as asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Her work addresses the development of exposure-assessment tools to characterize indoor risk factors. Dr. Storey received her MD from the Harvard Medical School and her MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health. She is Board-certified in internal medicine and occupational medicine.
