معرفی
Dr. Amina Salamova is an Assistant Professor in the Gangarosa Department of Environmental Health at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. She previously served as an Associate Scientist at Indiana University's O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Her expertise lies in analytical chemistry and exposure assessment, focusing on chemical contaminants' impacts on vulnerable populations like children, indigenous communities, and older adults. Dr. Salamova investigates semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and develops interventions to reduce exposures. Her work is supported by NIH, EPA, and USDA grants, with over 50 peer-reviewed publications and international conference presentations.
Education:
- Ph.D., Indiana University
- M.S., Indiana University

Research Interests: Dr. Salamova’s work centers on exposure sources of SVOCs, including endocrine disruptors and PFAS. She employs advanced analytical tools to quantify environmental contaminants and assess health risks. Her studies emphasize community-based approaches, particularly in marginalized groups.
Publications: Her recent work addresses PFAS exposure in children, Quaternary Ammonium Compounds in childcare settings, and legacy pollutants in Arctic ecosystems. These studies highlight emerging chemicals’ health implications and environmental persistence.
Awards: 2021 Joan Daisey Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the International Society of Exposure Science.
Grants & Affiliations: Dr. Salamova holds grants from NIH, EPA, and USDA. She is affiliated with the International Society of Exposure Science, Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and serves on the editorial board of Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology.
Labs & Teams: Her research integrates laboratory analyses with field studies, collaborating on projects like silicone wristband biomonitoring and indoor environment interventions.
