Dr. Enstrom on Linked In |
In 1965 Dr. Enstrom graduated co-valedictorian of his
class at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA, where he
obtained a B.S. in physics. In 1970 Dr. Enstrom obtained
his Ph.D. in elementary particle physics at Stanford
University from Nobel Laureate Melvin Schwartz. During
1971-1973 he worked as a physicist at the Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory in research group of Nobel Laureate
Luis Alvarez. He then came to the UCLA School of Public
Health as a postdoctoral fellow in cancer epidemiology
and received an M.P.H. and postdoctoral certificate in
1976 from renown public health epidemiologist Dr. Lester
Breslow. |
He then joined the UCLA School of Public Health faculty
as a Research Professor / Researcher and he held that
position for 36 years until June 2012. He currently
retains a similar affiliation with UCLA, although he is
now drawing retirement. He has been a Fellow of the
American College of Epidemiology since 1981, he has been
listed in Who's Who in America since 1990, and he has
been President of the Scientific Integrity Institute
since 2005.
During his long career, he has explored many important
epidemiological issues, particularly focusing on
California. A major theme of his research has been
identifying lifestyle factors which reduce mortality
from cancer and heart disease and increase longevity. An
example is his long-term study of religiously active
California Mormons. Their healthy lifestyle, which
includes avoidance of tobacco and alcohol and emphasis
on education and marriage, results in an increase in
longevity of about 10 years.
He has also examined the influence of environmental
factors on mortality. In December 2005 he published a
major paper on fine particulate matter and mortality in
California. Since then he has conclusively documented
that fine particulate matter does not cause premature
death in California

. Since August 1, 2013 he has been assisting the
US House Science Committee with its subpoena of the
secret science data that EPA has used to improperly
justify its fine particulate and ozone National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and related regulations in
California and the United States. His research shows
that there is no public health justification for the
CARB diesel vehicle regulations.
He has an ongoing Federal lawsuit against UCLA in
order to resolve the issues associated with his academic
freedom and his faculty position at UCLA
http://thefire.org/article/15587.html. The
next step in this lawsuit is a Federal Court hearing in
Los Angeles in January 2014.

CARB Whistleblower! (information) |
Epidemiologist James Enstroms appointment ended
because his research on air pollution did not align with
the department mission and failed to reach funding
requirements, according to a June 9 layoff notice from
Richard Jackson, environmental health sciences
department chair.
Enstrom contended that the short explanation given for
his nonreappointment is invalid and filed an appeal.
When (people) make an outrageous statement like my
research isnt aligned with the mission of the
department its patently false, said Enstrom, who
has worked at UCLAs School of Public Health for more
than 34 years. |

"In addition to lead roles
in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the early implementation
of the Act, the development and negotiation of the National Low
Emission Vehicle Program, and the 1997 [National Ambient Air
Quality Standards] review, John served as OAR's lead for
international work from 1990 thru [sic] 2005. Beginning in 1999,
John managed OAR's work on climate change as well as all other
international work." |
