HAIG GROUP

Welcome to the Haig Research Group, where our multidisciplinary research combines environmental microbiology, environmental chemistry, and public health. Our primary objective is to assess, understand, and reduce health risks associated with pathogens transmitted from the built environment, with a particular emphasis on drinking water systems.

Our research mission: is the exploration of built environment microbiomes. We are dedicated to improving our understanding of how these microbiomes are influenced by environmental conditions, design choices, and operational strategies. Furthermore, we are committed to unraveling their positive & negative connections with human health.

Research studies span: assessing consumer shower system choices impacts of microbial exposures to indoor air quality and mold assessment in homes.
