Wolff\, PhD\, MPH\, will deliver dynamic and in-depth lecture on what is known – and what is being researched – about the impacts of plastics on human health. Recent findings about the impacts of plastic on human health demonstrate that plastic pollution is not just a litter problem\, but a health one. As researchers follow the path of microplastics into the ecosystem and into us\, they are coming to understand the hazards that these chemical particles present to living tissue\, and they are raising alarms. Plastic is ubiquitous in our lives\, and there is little way for individuals to avoid exposure. But solutions do exist – and they are within our reach. Come learn about what they are\, and what you can do to bring them about. \n  \nRegister for this Seminar:\n\n\n\n\nAbout Megan \nMegan J.

Bruce led influential studies used by federal agencies around the world to set standards for harmful levels of lead in air\, paint\, water\, and house dust. His research convinced public health agencies that no safe level of lead could be identified. He has studied dozens of toxic chemicals and conducted over a dozen randomized controlled trials reducing exposures to lead paint\, tobacco smoke\, pesticides\, and airborne pollutants. Bruce and his brother\, Bob\, co-founded Little Things Matter to disseminate research on toxic chemicals. They produce videos showing how our health is inextricably linked with environmental influences with the goal of preventing disease. \n  \nRegister here for In-Person and Virtual Attendance URL:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/event/lead-poisoning/ LOCATION:Penn Medicine Kelley Research Building\, 421 Curie Blvd.\, Room 252\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19104\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured,PRCCEH,seminar,virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/Lanphear-e1723481449435.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240911T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240911T150000 DTSTAMP:20240822T163035Z CREATED:20240822T162841Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240822T163035Z UID:5081-1726059600-1726066800@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:Green Cleaning for Childcare Providers DESCRIPTION:Join the Women for a Healthy Environment and the PRCCEH for an essential professional development session on Green Cleaning designed specifically for early childcare providers.

Sunni is a reproductive and nutritional epidemiologist whose research focuses on the role of modifiable lifestyle and environmental factors across the life course that affect female and male reproductive health\, fertility\, pregnancy and child health outcomes. She is particularly interested in the intersection between diet and environmental exposures during critical windows of development\, and epidemiologic methods to address these pressing questions. \nA multidisciplinary group of researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Penn Medicine have received a $50 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the impact of environmental influences on pregnancy and children’s health. The research program is part of the NIH’s Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program\, which funds research to uncover how environmental exposures during preconception\, pregnancy and early life affect children’s long-term health. \nZoom Meeting Link.  Meeting ID: 924 0066 1903\n  \nRegister Here\nWe’ll follow up with an ical appointment and send reminders!
