Malin Knutz is a Lecturer and researcher at Karlstad University, Sweden, specializing in environmental health and epidemiology. She leads the SELMA study – a longitudinal birth cohort study tracking 2,500 mother-child pairs to investigate how early-life environmental exposures (e.g., phthalates, lifestyle factors) influence asthma, allergies, neuropsychiatric disorders, and metabolic outcomes. Her work combines public health education with rigorous epidemiological research.
Teaching focuses on biostatistics, epidemiology, and indoor environmental health. Her research emphasizes phthalate exposure pathways in dust and their impacts on children's health, including asthma, wheezing, and autism. Collaborations include teams analyzing PVC flooring's role in chemical exposure and regulatory policy implications.
- Key Projects: SELMA cohort study (2007–present)
- Expertise: Environmental toxicology, longitudinal study design, dust exposure analysis
Publications consistently address phthalate exposure mechanisms and health outcomes, with recent work highlighting prenatal/postnatal dust analysis. No awards listed, but active in international health research networks. Advising role undefined in provided materials.
