Pamela Dalton

Dr. Pamela Dalton is a cognitive psychologist. She has a Ph.D. in experimental psychology and a Masters in Public Health. Dalton is frequently quoted by the popular press as an authority on environmental odors.[1]

She is most notable for her contributions to the research toward the fields of sick building syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivity.[2][3][4] In the past she has worked with the United States Department of Defense on nonlethal weapons development, or the enhancement of bad odors as weapons.[5][6][7] She currently works at the Monell Chemical Senses Center.

She also was a contributor to the NIH Toolbox for the Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (www.nihtoolbox.org), as a member of the NIH Toolbox steering committee and the Olfaction team, developing the NIH Toolbox Odor Identification Test.[8][9] The contract for the NIH Toolbox for the Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (www.nihtoolbox.org) was initiated by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research (www.neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov) in 2006 to develop a set of state-of-the-art measurement tools to enhance collection of data in large cohort studies in biomedical research.[10][11]
