Claude Emond

Claude Emond is an Associate Professor at the Université de Montréal's School of Public Health, affiliated with the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health. His research focuses on occupational/environmental risk assessment, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling, and nanotoxicology. He has led multiple grants addressing nanoparticle safety guidelines, pesticide policy analysis, and aging workers' exposure limits.

Research Expertise:

• Quantitative exposure assessment methodologies
• PBPK modeling for chemical/toxicant dynamics
• Nanomaterial safety protocols development
• Endocrine disruptor effects on reproductive health
• Age-related physiological variability in toxicity

Recent Research Projects (2010-2019):

• Quebec nanotechnology mapping (2010-2013)
• Guideline development for carbon nanotube handling (2012-2013)
• Integrated nanosafety programs (2011-2013)
• Glyphosate herbicide policy analysis (2017-2019)

Grants & Collaborations: Over 8 funded projects from agencies including IRSST, FRQNT, and Quebec Ministry of Economy. Active partnerships with industry (Raymor Industries) and regulatory bodies.

Lab Activities: Involved in interdisciplinary teams studying environmental epidemiology, toxicokinetics, and occupational hygiene through collaborative research networks like RESEAUTETE.
