Pollution Threats to Children: Why Are We Responsible and What to Do About It

In 2004 Shrader-Frechette became only the third American to win the World Technology Award in Ethics. She won for her work in public-health and environmental ethics. In 2007, Catholic Digest named her one of 12 “Heroes for the US and the World” because of her pro-bono environmental justice work with minority and poor communities. 

Most of her work analyzes mathematical, biological, or ethical problems in risk assessment, public health, or environmental justice – especially those related to radiological, ecological, and energy-related risks.

Shrader-Frechette has published more than 350 articles and 15 books and has served as an advisor to numerous governments and international organizations, including the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
