Mahbubeh Tangestani | Monitoring Environmental contaminants | Breakthrough Research Award Published on 17/09/202517/09/2025 by Research Scientist Ms. Mahbubeh Tangestani | Monitoring Environmental contaminants | Breakthrough Research Award Researcher | Addiction and Lifestyle Research Center of Bushehr University | Iran Ms. Mahbubeh Tangestani is an Iranian researcher in Environmental Health Engineering with strong expertise in air pollution, human biomonitoring, exposure assessment, and environmental epidemiology. She completed her Master of Science in Environmental Health Engineering at Iran University of Medical Sciences with top academic ranking, and her Bachelor degree in the same field at Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, both with outstanding GPAs. Her professional experience includes roles as a process engineer in wastewater treatment plant design, an environmental health auditor, and currently as an environmental health assessor at the Addiction and Lifestyle Research Center of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences. Her research interests focus on indoor and outdoor air quality, risk assessment, air pollution modeling, and health impact assessment, with publications in high-impact journals such as Scientific Reports, Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Environmental Research, and Marine Pollution Bulletin. She has presented her work at national and international conferences and has contributed to collaborative studies addressing environmental pollutants, microplastics, fluoride exposure, and bioaerosols in healthcare settings. She has received several honors including recognition as a distinguished student and selected researcher at Bushehr University of Medical Sciences, and she has played a leadership role as a founding board member of the Environmental Health Association at Iran University of Medical Sciences. Her technical expertise spans laboratory analysis, exposure monitoring, microbial culture, data modeling, and risk analysis, supported by proficiency in specialized software and project management. She has 442 citations by 340 documents, 17 publications, and an h-index of 6.
