About

Richard Fenske, MPH, PhD, was no ordinary industrial hygienist. Neither was the focus of his career ordinary. His choice of scientific pursuits was grounded in his extensive background in philosophy, theology, and the spiritual humanitarianism that animated his life and work. He focused on how to improve the assessment of pesticide exposure among agricultural workers and their families, particularly their children. . . . "Leader in the Field" 2024 Richard Fenske.1
