​Martha Richmond is a Professor Emerita of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Environmental Science at Suffolk University in Boston, U.S.A., where she has also directed the Environmental Studies and Environmental Sciences programs and a number of undergraduate research projects.  For a number of years she worked as a consulting staff scientist at the Health Effects Institute, where she has contributed to several studies related to health hazards with study cases from Mexico City and China. Martha does research in environmental issues, including environmental science, environmental health, and environmental justice. Her most recent publication is 'Glyphosate: A review of its global use, environmental impact, and potential health effects on humans and other species'. She is an associate editor of the Journal of Environmental Studies and Science, published by Springer. More recently, Martha Richmond has focused onhow the scientific community can work better with the regulatory community and lay public to develop informed approaches addressing environmental problems. She is specially interested in addressing issues that affect the larger ecosystem or issues that disproportionately affect under-served communities.
