Dr. Krais specializes in analyzing biomarkers of environmental pollutants in human samples using mass spectrometry. Her research spans indoor and outdoor pollutants including phthalates, pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. She investigates the toxicity of biodiesel exhaust through human exposure studies and examines DNA adduct formation as a measure of genotoxicity. Her work significantly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental health and pollution reduction.
Her research portfolio includes 62 publications, with recent work focusing on hexavalent chromium exposure effects, childhood exposure to PAHs, nanoplastic toxicity, and the reproductive health impacts of analgesic overuse. These studies demonstrate her expertise across environmental toxicology, occupational health, and biomonitoring techniques.
Dr. Krais leads and participates in multiple research projects including:
- Agriculture in the future – society, safety and health (2025)
- Occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium and its toxicity (ongoing)
- Centre for Healthy Indoor Environment (ongoing)
- Exposure to diesel- and biodiesel exhaust at Swedish workplaces (completed 2022)
- Health effects of biodiesel emissions (completed 2020)
She teaches the VMFN32 course on Human Toxicology: From Exposure to Disease and manages the KILU/CAS Mass Spectrometry Infrastructure at the Centre for Analysis and Synthesis.
