About P.
P. H. Dalton is a principal investigator and member of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where her research examines how cognitive and emotional factors shape the perception of odors and irritation caused by airborne chemicals. Her work explores relationships between chemical exposure, sensory adaptation, and physiological responses, including changes in ocular inflammation, nasal blood flow, and respiratory patterns. Additional research investigates how odorant properties, nasal airflow, and inflammatory processes contribute to differences in olfactory perception, with applications in environmental and occupational health. She holds a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology from New York University and a Master of Public Health from Drexel University, and serves as co-chair of the Monell Postdoctoral Training Program.
