Currently he is Associate Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Michigan. Formerly, he was at Texas A&M University and the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (Austria). He has 21 years of domestic and international experience on environmental topics, and over 200 publications, reports, and conference presentations regarding air pollution measurements, modeling, exposure and risk assessment, and air pollution epidemiology. - - - He has long been interested in the environmental impacts of vehicles, and his previous work has addressed such topics as fuel economy, emissions, and health impacts. This paper was motivated, firstly, by the recognition of the large gaps between technical analyses (e.g., the life cycle analyses presented in this journal), drivers of policy and regulations (e.g., air quality laws), and the information presented to consumers (e.g., advertising and green labeling). Secondly, the author believes that by providing relevant and understandable information to the automotive consumer and motivating them to select environmentally preferable vehicles will help to achieve a more sustainable world and influence automotive manufacturers to provide more environmentally sensitive offerings. | | Areas of interest: | | | Articles: | 6 LCA (4) 251-253 (2001), Evaluating the Environmental Performance of Passenger Vehicles
