Rate My Professor Karine Elihn

In addition to research, Elihn serves as course coordinator for Health Protection (MI8028, 7.5 credits) within the Environmental and Health Protection Master’s Programme starting spring 2026, and teaches Environment and Health (MI7009, 15 credits) and Toxicology for Environmental Scientists (MI7015, 7.5 credits), addressing air pollution effects, ventilation, noise, nanoparticles, and toxicity. She leads projects including QuartzTOX (Forte, from 2026) on quartz dust toxicity from artificial stone countertops; Emissions from Airports (2025–2026) on airport nanoparticles; Brake wear (VR, 2025–2029) on brake emissions and secondary aerosols; nPETS (EU, 2021–2025) on transport nanoparticles; RadoNORM (EU, 2020–2025) on cigarette smoke and radon; NanoQuartz (Forte, 2020–2025) on quartz nanoparticles; and Concentrator (Åforsk, 2023–2026). She characterized Kagghamra waste fire emissions (2020–2021), published in 2023 and 2025. Key publications include "In vitro toxicity of car and train brake wear emissions using Air-Liquid Interface and submerged exposure models" (2026), "Diesel particle filter regeneration: Impact on the physicochemical composition and toxicity of diesel exhaust emissions" (2025), "Emission rates and composition of particulate matter from a large waste fire in Stockholm, Sweden" (2025), and "Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds from Brake Wear and Their Role in Ultrafine Particle Nucleation" (2025). Her 67 publications have garnered approximately 2,100 citations, influencing aerosol toxicology and environmental health.
