His research concerns the interrelationship between biology and culture and focuses on biological responses to contemporary urban environments. Dr. Schell has three current research projects. One looks at the effect of lead on child physical and cognitive development in Albany, NY. The second project seeks to address the growing concern about the effect of certain pollutants on sexual and physical development. The third study examines the relationship of pollutants to the reproductive health of Akwesasne women who are concerned that pollution exposure may have damaged their ability to have children.
