LECTURE OVERVIEW
The panelists discuss the occupational and public health implications of fentanyl exposure in secondhand smoke as it relates to city workers and metro drivers. Dr. Chiu presents data from several NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluations involving Fentanyl in Secondhand Smoke. Dr. Baker discusses new research findings involving air quality on buses and transit operator exposures to fentanyl in the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Phillips describes the toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of different formulations of fentanyl on humans, and discusses passive exposure of the public to fentanyl and methamphetamine.
PRESENTER BIOS
Dr. Sophia Chiu is a Lead Physician in NIOSH’s Health Hazard Evaluations program. Many of her recent projects have involved potential occupational exposures to opioids and illicit drugs among first responders and other worker groups. She received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University and completed medical school at the State University of New York—Stony Brook. As part of residency training in occupational medicine at the University of Iowa, she earned an MPH degree in occupational and environmental health. She also has master’s degrees in statistics and philosophy. She also completed CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service fellowship at NIOSH.
Dr. Marissa Baker is an Assistant Professor in the UW Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences. She also serves as Deputy Director of the Northwest Center for Occupational Health and Safety, housed at DEOHS. She is an affiliate faculty in the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at UW. Trained as an industrial hygienist, Dr. Baker has expertise in workplace exposure assessment, using techniques such as air sampling, biomonitoring and exposure modeling. Dr. Baker led a novel exposure assessment in the Pacific Northwest to characterize airborne and surface concentrations of fentanyl and methamphetamine in trains and buses, working with five transit agencies.
Dr. Scott Phillips is board certified in medical toxicology with over 30 years of patient care. Board certified in both Internal Medicine and Medical Toxicology, Dr. Phillips was the Associate Medical Director and is now the Executive Director/Medical Director of the Washington Poison Center. Dr. Phillips maintains an active practice in Washington State. As a fellow of the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology and the American College of Medical Toxicology, Dr. Phillips is dedicated to ongoing education and teaching. Focusing on environmental toxicology and health risk assessment, Dr. Phillips has authored over 200 articles, chapters and abstracts as well as several textbooks on medical toxicology.
ACCREDITATION
