Research Area:
Yongning WU is currently engaged in food safety and environmental health issue, especially on risk assessment for chemical and human health, mainly focused on the development of food contamination monitoring and dietary exposure assessment, with a special emphasis on the setting up national standards for maximum limit of contaminants and residues in food. Previously he was engaged in the research on the relationship between N-nitroso compounds exposure and stomach and esophageal cancers and has established himself in the study of active tea ingredients preventing cancer. He has organized the Chinese dietary exposure assessment model and software R&D, by using Montel-Carlo simulation and Bootstrap sampling. The large portion of food consumption has been established for Chinese general population and children by using data from 2002 China Nutrition and Health Statues Survey. So far he has played a leading role in many food safety research projects, was appointed as chief scientist of food safety research of the Chinese Ministry of Health, as well as the PI for R & D projects in food safety sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, High-tech Project (863 projects), Basic Research Project (“973 projects”) and Science and Technology Support Project sponsored by the Ministry of Science & Technology. Those works included in development of exposure assessment modeling and monitoring method, e.g. Chinese Total Diet Study. He is also conducting research on development of screening, quantitation and confirmation methodology for POPs and emerging contaminants, e.g. tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA), bisphenol-A (BPA), perfluorinated compounds (PFOS/PFOA), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), Hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCD), polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organic tin, perchlorates, 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, acrylamide, melamine and its analogues, clenbuterol, antibiotics as well as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Moreover, he has drafted China’s national detection standards and limit standards of some key pollutants, published 5 books (as the chief editor in Chinese) and more than 200 papers, more than 60 of which being international journal.
