Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 FWD: Hi Folks: I came across a bit of info. that we might be able to use. A doctor in Ny who was willing to testify at a hearing onoccupational diseases. He might be willing to do pesticides also. Marie Testimony of B. Markowitz, M.D. Center for the Biology of Natural Systems Queens College Flushing, N.Y. 11367 Telephone: 718-670-4184 September 21, 2000 My name is Markowitz, MD. I am a physician specializing in occupational medicine, that is, identifying and reducing workplace exposures that impair or threaten human health. After receiving my undergraduate degree from Yale University and my medical degree from Columbia University, I completed five years of training in internal medicine and occupational medicine in New York City. I had the excellent fortune of training under the late Dr. Irving Selikoff, the noted asbestos researcher at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I currently serve as Professor and Director of the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems of Queens College and Adjunct Professor of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, both in New York City. My research interests center on the surveillance and identification of occupational and environmental disease. I co-authored a book entitled Costs of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses that was published this month by the University of Michigan press. It was based on a study commissioned by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health concerning the extent and costs of occupational disease and injury in the United States. I thank you for the opportunity to speak before this committee today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
