Gerard is an associate professor at the Institute for Risk Assesment Sciences at Utrecht University. His research focuses on methods for improved exposure assessment to environmental stressors, with a focus on outdoor air pollution. Application of these exposure estimates in epidemiological studies is his second focus.
In recent years he worked on mobile monitoring campaigns, application of sensors, exposome, health effects of low-level air pollution and combined health effects of different environmental stressors, including air pollution, noise and green space.

The environment we live in has a dominant impact on our health. It explains an estimated seventy percent of the chronic disease burden. Where we live, what we eat, how much we exercise, the air we breathe and whom we associate with; all of these environmental factors play a role. The combination of these factors over the life course is called the exposome. There is general (scientific) consensus that understanding more about the exposome will help explain the current burden of disease and that it provides entry points for prevention and ...
