Yoshihiro Kuwabara, Ph.D.

Environmental Health

The main research theme is as folow;
1) on trihalomethane contents in drinking water, swimming pool water and bath water.
2) on exposure of workers to pesticide in greenhouses and fields.
3) on development of rapid and sensitive detection methods for enteropathogenic bacteria.
4) on microbial control in facility of mass feeding.
5) on enterotoxigenecity of foodborne bacteria.
