This program conducts the largest early lung cancer detection project in occupational health in the country through the application of low-dose helical CAT scanning. To date, over 10,000 workers who were exposed to asbestos, uranium, and other lung carcinogens have been screened for lung cancer in this program.

Lew Pepper has worked as a physician and researcher in occupational health for the past 25 years. His research has focused on the health impacts of exposures to lead and other workplace hazards, as well as the impacts of work organization and employee control on workers' health and productivity. For the past fifteen years Dr. Pepper has studied the US Department of Energy workforce. He completed a five-year study of the health impacts of the large-scale downsizing of DOE employees in the early 1990s. For the past twelve years he has lead a medical screening and surveillance study of former employees of the DOE's Nevada Test Site, Lawrence Livermore and Berkeley Labs and the Sandia National Laboratory in California who were exposed to numerous hazards during the weapons testing era. Along with investigators at other DOE facilities, Dr. Pepper has helped create for DOE the first comprehensive federal employee compensation program. Dr. Pepper's interest in the relationship between the social organization of work, worker autonomy, and health status continues to shape his ongoing research and professional interests.
