Chemistry in today’s world is part of the solution and you can help find the answers.
Dr Morton works as a principal scientist at the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Science and Research Centre in Buxton, Derbyshire. She works within the Biological Monitoring Team as an analytical chemist, measuring people's exposure to metals. By measuring lead in a blood sample or arsenic in a urine sample, we can tell whether or not a person has been overtly exposed through their workplace or from their environment. Recently, she has been involved in measuring workplace exposures to beryllium, nickel and chromium in the UK surface engineering industry, lead and cadmium exposures from very small blood spots, titanium nanoparticles in an air sampling device, exposure to metals in exhaled breath from welding fume and measuring a range of metals in biological samples from Nicaragua where there is a chronic kidney disease of unknown origin.
