معرفی
Juris Breidaks serves as an Acting Researcher at the Institute of Occupational Safety and Environmental Health in Latvia, specializing in environmental health biomonitoring and statistical exposure assessment. His work integrates advanced data analysis with public health research to address pesticide exposure pathways and environmental monitoring challenges in Latvian populations.
His research focuses on environmental health risk assessment through biomonitoring, geospatial analysis of environmental change, and statistical methodology development. Key interests include pesticide exposure quantification via dietary and occupational pathways, mass spectrometry applications, variance estimation techniques, and educational service quality metrics. His interdisciplinary approach bridges environmental science, public health, and social statistics.
Recent publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory centered on Latvian environmental health issues, with dominant themes in pesticide exposure assessment (using biomonitoring and dietary surveys), geospatial wetland monitoring via satellite imagery, and methodological innovations in statistics. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary integration of environmental data science, toxicology, and policy-relevant exposure assessment.
Breidaks contributed as an expert to the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU), a Horizon 2020 project funded by the European Commission and Latvia State Budget (2017-2022), which established standardized biomonitoring frameworks across Europe to inform chemical regulation. His collaborative research involves extensive partnerships with Latvian institutions including the Central Statistical Bureau.
