Research

Schuhmacher is known for her work in examining pollution, specifically suspended particulate matter, in schools. She has also examined the presence of microplastics in marine systems, and compared models used to define toxicity. Schuhmacher has focused on the development of techniques for risk assessment, and their application to new and emerging chemical compounds, and very particularly to that of mixtures.
