SUMMARY:Community health impacts of air pollution in the US
DESCRIPTION:Join the Climate Equity Initiative at Clean Air Task Force (CATF) for our sixth report launch\, Community Health Impacts of Air Pollution in the U.S. \nAccording to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences\, air pollution is “a major threat to global health and prosperity. Exposure to air pollution is responsible for a variety of adverse health consequences. For example\, it can lead to damage to respiratory and cardiovascular systems\, premature mortality\, worsened mental health\, impaired neural function\, increased cancer risk\, decreased fertility\, weakened immune systems\, and harm to pregnancies. Air pollution\, in all forms\, is responsible for more than 6.5 million deaths each year globally.” \nDespite the benefits of the Clean Air Act\, many Americans experience unhealthy levels of air pollution in the United States. While the Clean Air Act has significantly reduced air pollution\, there are: \n\nAreas in the U.S. where air pollution exceeds legal limits under the Clean Air Act;\nConsiderations that some of the legal standards should be more stringent; and\nSignificant exposure disparities\, especially related to people of color and low-income communities.\n\nThis report identifies the largest sources of air pollution in the U.S.\, describes the health impacts of air pollution\, and is followed by a summary of air emissions from the energy and transportation sectors. In addition\, the report provides an overview of the Clean Air Act\, including a description of some of its key programs and the pollutants regulated under the act\, and discusses the successes of the Clean Air Act in improving air quality nationwide\, while recognizing that disenfranchised and underserved communities bear a disproportionate share of the continuing burden of air pollution.

SUMMARY:USA Exposome Symposium: Children’s Health\, Environmental Justice\, and the Exposome
DESCRIPTION:Environmental injustice is the inequitable and disproportionate exposure of poor\, minority\, and disenfranchised populations to toxic chemical and non-chemical stressors in the natural\, built\, and social environments\, over time. Toxic environmental exposures are key components of the social determinants of health and underlying health inequities that are also higher among these populations. Infants and children are especially vulnerable. Childhood is a time of rapid growth and differentiation biologically and is radically different than adult biology and behavior. If the timing of a toxic exposure corresponds to a life stage during which growth is particularly rapid\, the potential impact of that exposure is multiplied by offsetting the developmental trajectory of the child. \nThis meeting will bring together academic\, government\, and community partners to share research findings\, discuss the use of computational analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in analyzing results of large\, multi-dimensional data sets\, and discuss translational interventions and policies needed to reduce the effects of environmental injustice on child health.

SUMMARY:Minding the Climate: How Neuroscience Can Help Solve Our Environmental Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Duhaime has written Minding the Climate: How Neuroscience Can Help Solve Our Environmental Crisis. In her book\, Dr. Duhaime discusses how our decisions and understanding of complex problems like climate change are influenced by neuroscience and the evolution of our brains. Dr. Duhaime will present key points from the book\, followed by a moderated discussion of strategies about how to use these insights. \nThis discussion session will be moderated by PRCCEH Deputy Director Marilyn V. Howarth\, MD\, FCPP. Dr. Howarth is a College Fellow and chairs the Environmental Health Committee of the Section on Public Health and Preventive Medicine. She is faculty at the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology at the Perelman School of Medicine. \nThe discussion will be followed by a question & answer session with those in attendance. After the discussion\, Dr. Duhaime will be available to sign copies of her book. \nAbout Dr. Duhaime\nDr. Duhaime is a senior pediatric neurosurgeon at the Massachusetts General Hospital and is the Nicholas T. Zervas Distinguished Professor of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School. Her neuroscience research investigates mechanisms\, pathophysiology\, imaging\, and treatment of injury in the immature brain\, using translational and clinical approaches to study injuries occurring in infants and young children\, including those seen most commonly in child abuse. The work also investigates plasticity\, recovery\, and return of brain function in children and adolescents during maturation. \nDr. Duhaime also has a longstanding interest in the relationship between brain and behavior\, and in environmental issues. She is a Faculty Associate of the Harvard University Center for the Environment. Beginning with a fellowship at the Radcliffe Institute in 2016 she has explored the neurobiology of reward circuitry and plasticity and its relevance to pro-environmental behavior\, and also worked with a diverse team to design a prototype advanced “green” biophilic pediatric hospital. Her book on this work\, Minding the Climate\, was published in 2022 (Harvard University Press). She now serves as Associate Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for the Environment and Health\, supervising the Research pillar\, and as Associate Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Climate Change and Health

SUMMARY:The Not-So-'Micro' Plastic Problem: A Conversation with Matt Simon
DESCRIPTION:For this webinar\, CHE-Alaska will be joined by science journalist Matt Simon\, author of the book A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies. In the book\, Simon reveals a new dimension to the plastic dilemma – how microplastics break down into small enough pieces to enter lungs\, be absorbed by crops\, and infiltrate aquatic animals’ muscle tissues.  Microplastics represent a cocktail of toxicity: plastics can contain as many as 10\,000 different chemicals. These include chemicals that are linked to diseases including cancers\, diabetes\, and other disorders associated with endocrine disruption. \nSimon will also discuss how the microplastic crisis pertains to the Arctic\, which is becoming increasingly contaminated. In a recent article Simon published on Wired\, he writes\, \n“As scientists have shown elsewhere\, the team found that microplastics contamination in the Arctic has been growing exponentially and in lockstep with the growth of plastic production—which is now up to a trillion pounds a year\, with the global amount of plastic waste projected to triple by 2060.” \n  \nRegister through Zoom

SUMMARY:Chemicals and Pregnancy Complications: Findings from Nontargeted Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Toxic chemicals are ubiquitous in the environment. Fewer than 1% of the over 40\,000 chemicals imported\, processed\, or used in the U.S. are regularly biomonitored. Still fewer have been evaluated for adverse health outcomes during pregnancy. Chemical exposures during pregnancy have been linked with lifelong consequences for maternal and child health including cardiovascular disease\, diabetes\, adverse infant neurodevelopment\, and reproductive outcomes. These health outcomes are increasing at rates that cannot be fully explained by genetics or improvements in diagnostics. \nNon-targeted analysis (NTA) methods can help us tentatively identify chemicals that are not regularly studied. These chemicals can then be quantified through “targeted” methods\, giving us the ability to evaluate the association with adverse health outcomes. \nDr. Jessica Trowbridge and Dr. Tracey Woodruff will present the findings of their new study\, Extending Nontargeted Discovery of Environmental Chemical Exposures during Pregnancy and Their Association with Pregnancy Complications—A Cross-Sectional Study. This study uses the results of NTA methods to identify nine environmental chemicals in maternal samples and in cord blood\, and their association with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Some of these chemicals were measured in this study for the first time in pregnant people. The study finds chemical exposure is widespread\, including to perfluoroalkyl substances\, abnormal fatty acids used in plastics production\, and solvents used in consumer products\, pesticide production\, and plastics production. Additionally\, PFAS and abnormal fatty acids are associated with increased odds of gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. \nThis study demonstrates the power of non-targeted methods to identify and measure environmental chemicals that are not regularly studied. It adds to the evidence that environmental contaminants can have lifelong consequences for pregnancy and health. \n\n

SUMMARY:Vape and Mirrors: Chemical exposure and potential health effects from e-cigarette use
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Angela Aherrera is a K99/R00 postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH). She received her bachelor’s in behavioral biology (2011) from Johns Hopkins University and both her master’s (2015) and Doctorate in Public Health (2019) from JHSPH. She also completed a T32 postdoctoral fellowship (2022) at the Pediatric Pulmonary Division of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. \nAs an exposure scientist and environmental epidemiologist\, Dr. Aherrera has a long-term interest in understanding environmental hazards and their impact on health outcomes. Her research interests focus largely on exposure to environmental hazards\, namely tobacco and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes)\, heavy metals\, aldehydes and microplastics\, and understanding their role in the development and prevention of adverse respiratory health outcomes. In September 2022\, she was awarded the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence by the NIEHS/FDA to investigate the exposure and toxicity of metal and aldehydes\, as well as the pulmonary health effects\, including inflammation\, of using new and emerging electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) devices among young adults. She was also awarded NIOSH pilot funding this year to address the critical knowledge gaps on occupational exposures to microfibers\, a major type of microplastic\, among garment industry workers. \nDr. Aherrera is passionate about reducing inequities in vulnerable and disproportionately exposed populations. She aims to build collaborations and a portfolio of multidisciplinary research that provide policy-relevant environmental epidemiologic evidence for interventions that would ultimately improve general population health. \nAttend via zoom here

SUMMARY:Be Heard: Working with Policy Makers
DESCRIPTION:Ellu Nasser has over 15 years of experience working on the intersection of public health\, climate change and environmental justice. She focuses her work on finding solutions for the impacts that freight transport has on air pollution\, community health\, and climate change by supporting community priorities and working to accelerate the transition to zeroemissions at ports across the country. \nBased in Los Angeles\, Adrian works on clean air\, clean energy\, and healthy communities issues as a deputy managing attorney for Earthjustice in our Right to Zero campaign. He also serves as the Chair of Earthjustice’s Transportation Practice Group. \nIn this series\, we aim to inspire students and practitioners of environmental health science to share their research in an effort to promote meaningful change.
