Dr. Bailey specializes in applying state-of-the-art assessment methods to environmental and occupational health issues. His 35 years of training and experience include laboratory and epidemiologic research, health risk assessment, and comprehensive exposure analysis.
Dr. Bailey has investigated exposures to alternating current, direct current, and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, 'stray voltage', and electrical shock, as well as to a variety of chemical agents and air pollutants. He is particularly well known for his research on potential effects of electromagnetic fields on the environment and health and has served as an advisor to numerous state, federal, and international agencies. Currently, he is involved in research on exposures to marine life from offshore wind submarine cables, respiratory exposures to ultrafine- and nanoparticles, and EMF and RF exposure guidelines.
Dr. Bailey has been a visiting scientist at the Cornell University Medical College and has lectured at Rutgers University, the University of Texas (San Antonio), and the Harvard School of Public Health. He was formerly Head of the Laboratory of Neuropharmacology and Environmental Toxicology at the New York State Institute for Basic Research, Staten Island, New York, and an Assistant Professor and NIH postdoctoral fellow in Neurochemistry at The Rockefeller University in New York.
