Season 2 Finale: The Hydrogen Sulfide Disaster in Carson, CA with Arbor Quist, PhD
Arbor Quist, PhD is an environmental epidemiologist interested in community-driven research that addresses climate and environmental injustice. Quist recently completed her PhD in epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her dissertation examined how hurricane flooding and industrial swine operations, separately and jointly, affect acute gastrointestinal illness. Her research has focused on the ways in which climate change-related disasters exacerbate health disparities. Quist has also worked with communities after hurricane flooding to examine well water contamination and mold concerns in North Carolina to promote community resilience and preparedness. She has also worked on projects examining the neurobehavioral effects of oil spills. Currently, Quist is examining the health effects of oil drilling in South Los Angeles and metal mixture exposure patterns in residents near oil wells.
