Dr. Allshouse is an instructor of environmental and occupational health at the Colorado School of Public Health with expertise in the spatiotemporal modeling of environmental exposures. More generally, his research areas intersect with the disciplines of environmental science, epidemiology, statistics, and geography, utilizing spatial and spatiotemporal data to advance research in environmental health. A significant component of his work has focused on unconventional oil and gas development and its potential impact on the public’s health. Other research interests include environmental justice, air pollution and health, health care access, and evaluating statistical methods for analyzing chemical mixtures of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
