Mireille Toledano

Toledano is an epidemiologist who is an expert in environmental exposure. She is interested in how environmental exposure and sources of pollution impact public health. She has studied the impact of air and noise pollution, waste incineration and water disinfection by-products on birth outcomes.^[2]

Toledano established the Breast Milk, Environment, and Early-life Development (BEED),^[3] Study of Cognition, Adolescents and Mobile Phones (SCAMP) and COhort Study on MobileS (COSMOS) studies. BEED analysed human breast milk of people living around municipal waste incinerators, and explored childhood prevalence of atopic dermatitis, rhinitis and ADHD.^[3] She showed that proximity to multiple waste incinerators makes a small contribution to polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls in breast milk.^[4][5] SCAMP studied how mobile phones and smart devices that emit electromagnetic radiation is associated with cognitive, behavioural, physical or mental health outcomes.^[6] SCAMP included cognitive assessments, questionnaires, demographic information and details on their environments. She found that women students, Black and minority ethnic students and students from non fee paying schools self-reported more mobile phone use.^[3] She showed that living near woodlands was associated with improved cognitive developments and reduced risk of emotional problems.^[7]
