SUMMARY:Climate Change\, Health\, and Justice: A Workshop on Community-Engaged Research to Promote Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:The Fifth National Climate Assessment (2023)\, the U.S. government’s preeminent report on climate change impacts\, risks\, and responses\, outlined three key conclusions related to climate change and health: \n\nClimate change is harming human health.\nSystemic racism and discrimination exacerbate climate impacts on human health.\nTimely\, effective\, and culturally appropriate adaptation and mitigation actions to protect human health are needed.\n\nWith this clear roadmap\, it is critical to stimulate intervention research to help people and communities from U.S. populations experiencing health disparities adapt to climate change. \nThis workshop examines the state of the science to stimulate community-engaged\, multi-level intervention research on this topic. The event convenes researchers\, clinicians\, and community partners for a series of presentations\, panel discussions\, and flash talks to: \n\nHear varied perspectives on innovations to decrease health disparities associated with climate change.\nIdentify mechanisms and processes required for successful multi-level interventions that strengthen resilience and adaptation to health effects from climate change.\nIdentify research gaps and opportunities to promote climate justice through community-engaged research.\nStrategize future research directions.\n\nThe workshop will be a half day over two days and virtual.   Register here.

SUMMARY:Air Monitoring and Community Engagement – Session II: Partnerships and Impact – How an Air Monitoring Network Can Benefit the Community
DESCRIPTION:Air quality issues in urban environments have long been a concern\, dating back to historical complaints of smoke and odors from activities such as charcoal pits\, blacksmithing\, and cooking fires. Since the Industrial Revolution\, these problems have escalated\, with emissions now posing greater risks to public health. \nPartnerships between academic researchers and communities burdened by poor air quality have advanced our understanding of micro-scale pollution dynamics and community monitoring approaches. However\, many efforts have been hampered by flawed communication and asynchronous approaches\, leading to frustration among communities when scientific results did not translate into real-world change\, captured in the sentiment of being “studied to death.” \nThe advent of low-cost air quality sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technology has made citizen science more accessible\, opening new opportunities for meaningful collaboration between academic institutions and local communities. Programs such as the NIEHS Community Engagement Cores offer guidance on fostering effective partnerships and clear communication between researchers and community members. \nThis webinar will explore the journey of the Citizen Air Monitoring Network and their collaboration with the University of California\, Davis\, prompted by a simple question: “What can you do to help us?” \nAdditionally\, the presenters will share insights from their partnership in developing a low-cost air monitoring network for the Lower Price Hill community in Cincinnati\, Ohio. Their initiative has expanded to include additional community-engaged projects and training opportunities for community-academic research teams across the country. This webinar will highlight the power of collaboration in addressing air quality issues and building sustainable\, impactful solutions for communities.

SUMMARY:National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week
DESCRIPTION:This year\, National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW) is October 20-26! NLPPW is a call to bring together individuals\, organizations\, industry\, and Tribal\, state and local governments to reduce childhood exposure to lead by increasing lead poisoning prevention awareness. NLPPW highlights the many ways parents\, caregivers\, and communities can reduce children’s exposure to lead and prevent its harmful health effects. October is also Children’s Health Month\, a time to raise awareness about children’s environmental health\, including the dangers and potential health impacts of lead. \nEach year\, EPA\, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) work together to develop outreach materials to be used by the public to plan\, promote and host events and activities during NLPPW. \nThe 2024 theme is “Bright futures begin lead-free” because we all want bright futures for our children and communities. We invite you to join us this NLPPW to raise awareness about lead since every child in every community deserves a bright\, lead-free future. \nThe outreach materials center on three key messages: \n\nGet the Facts: Lead is still a problem in many communities. Learn about lead exposure\, lead hazards\, and how you can protect you and your family.\nGet Your Child Tested: A blood test is the best way to find out if your child has lead poisoning. Talk to your child’s healthcare provider about getting a blood lead test if your child may have been exposed to lead.\nGet Your Home Tested: Minimize your risk of lead exposure by hiring a certified professional to test your home for lead if it was built before 1978.\n\n

SUMMARY:Drinking Water from Private Wells: Risks\, Barriers\, and Environmental Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Steven D. Wilson\, M.S. is a groundwater hydrologist and Head of the Environmental Public Health\, Information and Data Services Section at the Illinois State Water Survey\, University of Illinois. He authored and manages The Private Well Class\, an online self-paced curriculum for private well owners. \nAn estimated 58 million Americans\, 18% of the U.S. population\, rely on private wells for their drinking water source.  Some wells are inadequately constructed because they were built prior to regulations on well construction; some are completed in areas where the surficial geology doesn’t protect them from surface recharge; some are at risk because a changing climate including flooding and sea level rise; and some are at risk because of a lack of owner resources\, knowledge of the risks\, and ability to pay for treatment. Poor drinking water quality is a significant health risk\, both from bacterial contamination\, as well as harmful natural or man-made contaminants.  We all have a role in understanding these risks and helping clients/patients understand how to protect themselves from any waterborne risks. \nA short Q&A will follow the presentation. \nObjectives\nUpon completion of this course\, participants will be able to:\n\nDiscuss the issues most affecting private well risks including construction and geology\nDiscuss the pressing issues today\, like flooding and emerging contaminants that can affect well water quality\nOutline the ways clinicians can inform and support their patients who use private wells

SUMMARY:The Overturning of Chevron Deference: Impacts on Environmental Health Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:The June 28\, 2024\, Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overturning Chevron deference marks a pivotal shift that could reshape environmental regulation as we know it. The longstanding Chevron decision established the principle that federal courts must defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of any statute deemed to be ambiguous. With the authority of judges now expanding into the realm of policymaking\, there are far-reaching implications\, several of which are not fully understood. \nIn this webinar\, legal experts will discuss the implications of the overturning of Chevron deference and its profound impact on science\, public health\, and decision-making. The webinar will conclude with a Q&A\, giving you the chance to engage with our speakers and learn more about how to get involved in efforts to promote science that strengthens and safeguards public health. This webinar is hosted in collaboration with the Collaborative for Health & Environment (CHE)\, Earthjustice\, and UCSF’s EaRTH Center.
