Philippe Duquenne is head of a laboratory at France’s National Institute for Research into Safety and Health at Work (INRS). He obtained his PhD in microbial ecology from the University of Burgundy (France) in 1998 for his work on soil microorganisms. He joined the INRS in 2003 as a microbiology researcher. He has worked on methods and strategies for measuring bioaerosols (density, size distribution and biodiversity of microbial communities and associated compounds in bioaerosols) as part of the assessment of occupational exposure. He has also led a cross-disciplinary ‘biological risks’ project at INRS. He now manages a laboratory specialising in the spatial and temporal analysis of occupational exposure to airborne chemical and biological pollutants. The associated research focuses on the study of multiple exposures in different working sectors, the measurement of pollutants in real time and, in particular, the use of sensor networks. The aim is to collect and analyse information on work situations encountered in companies in order to provide guidelines for action to prevent chemical and biological risks.
