Linda Silber Birnbaum is affiliated with the Division of the National Toxicology Program (NTP), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), located in Research Triangle Park, NC, USA.Research Contributions
Linda Silber Birnbaum has made significant contributions to the field of environmental health, particularly in toxicology. Her work has addressed various environmental contaminants, including polybrominated dioxins, furans, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Her research has extended to the effects of these contaminants on human health, particularly in vulnerable populations such as electronic waste recyclers and communities exposed to environmental pollutants. Birnbaum has also contributed to understanding the developmental neurotoxicity of chemicals like organophosphate ester flame retardants and plasticizers, and has advocated for regulatory measures to protect children’s health. Her work includes predictive toxicology and the economic implications of acting on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).Aliases
Linda Silber Birnbaum is also known by several aliases including L. S. Birnbaum, L.s. Birnbaum, L. Birnbaum, Linda S Birnbaum, L Birnbaum, Linda S. Birnbaum, Linda Birnbaum, and L S Birnbaum.Publication and Citation Metrics
