Therese Nitter Moazami

Therese Nitter Moazami is an Associate Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University, Faculty of Technology, Art and Design, Department of Building and Energy Engineering. Her research focuses on occupational and environmental health, particularly in indoor environments such as workplaces, swimming pools, and home offices. She is affiliated with the Sustainable Built Environment (SustainaBuilt) and School and work (Justin) research groups.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of indoor air quality, occupational hygiene, and public health. She investigates exposure to airborne pollutants including disinfection by-products (e.g., trihalomethanes, trichloramine), particulate matter, nanoparticles, and stone minerals in asphalt. Her work often involves human exposure chamber studies, real-time monitoring, and field assessments to evaluate health impacts such as respiratory inflammation, blood coagulability, and headache risk.

Her recent publications reveal a strong trend in assessing combined environmental and psychosocial stressors, exposure variability in swimming pools, and the health effects of mineral dust in construction materials. She frequently employs interdisciplinary methodologies involving environmental monitoring, toxicology, and epidemiology.

While no specific scientific awards are listed, her extensive publication record in high-impact journals such as Science of the Total Environment, Indoor and Built Environment, and Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health underscores her scholarly impact. Her work is often conducted in collaboration with institutions like NTNU, STAMI, and SINTEF.

Dr. Moazami is actively involved in dissemination and education, contributing to training materials for workplace health technicians (BHT) and publishing in professional outlets like Yrkeshygienikeren. She has co-authored research reports for the Norwegian Institute of Working Environment and NTNU, focusing on hydrogen sulphide risks and work environment assessments. She advises on exposure assessment strategies and ventilation control, particularly in swimming facilities and wastewater treatment plants.

She leads and participates in projects related to sustainable built environments and workplace health, emphasizing practical applications for improving occupational safety. Her work contributes to evidence-based guidelines for managing indoor air quality and reducing occupational health risks in diverse settings.
