Hosted by Harvard Medical School\, this course will be an opportunity for practicing health professionals to learn about the mechanisms by which climate change impacts human health and how it influences diagnosis\, counseling\, and treatment plans. It will additionally describe the impacts of climate changes on the health care delivery system itself and how health care professionals can make change to address this public health threat. The course will be organized to touch upon climate impacts on a diversity of health conditions and disease processes and will be valuable to health care providers of all fields. \nWho Should Attend \n\nSpecialty Physicians\nPhysician Assistants\nNurse Practitioners\nPrimary Care Physicians URL:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/event/climate-change-planetary-health-and-medicine/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:external,virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/52461721_xl-123RF-rawpixel.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240426T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240426T120000 DTSTAMP:20240411T202700Z CREATED:20240311T203530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240411T202700Z UID:4616-1714129200-1714132800@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:Beyond Paint: Lead Exposure Risks for People and Wildlife DESCRIPTION:As part of the University of Pennsylvania’s celebration of Earth Week 2024\, we are pleased to bring you this panel discussion on the impact of lead exposure to people\, wildlife and the environment.  Featuring expert speakers from across Penn including: \n\nLisa Murphy\, VMD\, Co-Director\, Wildlife Futures Program\, Penn Vet\nMarilyn Howarth\, MD\, Adjunct Associate Professor\, Penn Medicine and the Deputy Director of the Philadelphia Regional Center for Children’s Environmental Health\nReto Gieré\, PhD\, Professor\, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences\, Penn Arts and Sciences\nModerator: Katherine Unger Baillie\, Interim Director\, Environmental Innovations Initiative\n\nThis event is open to Penn students\, faculty\, researchers and guests beyond campus! \n  \nZoom Link   Meeting ID: 921 1880 3289     Passcode: 328052 \n  \nRegister Here\nWe’ll follow up with an ical appointment and send reminders!

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.

At lower concentrations they are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)\, with multiple effects on human health. In this webinar\, Dr. Tom Zoeller will discuss how the endocrine disrupting effects of PCBs can affect human brain development. Lessons from PCBs can also help us to understand the effects of other EDCs on the developing brain and nervous system.

Rather\, poor housing conditions in BIPOC communities are a direct result of historical and current policies and practices imbued with structural racism\, including redlining\, industrial zoning\, exclusionary zoning\, discriminatory or predatory lending\, and systematic displacement. \nWith this shared recognition\, it’s important to explicitly name and address structural racism. Each of the three conversation participants are doing this through their work and their research. Through this conversation\, they will challenge and motivate those working across the spectrum of activities to improve asthma outcomes to take action with a long-term vision of racial equity. \nThis conversation is intended for those working across the spectrum of activities to establish or expand home-based asthma services including both staff responsible for direct services (e.g.\, program management staff\, nurses\, CHWs\, promotoras\, etc.)as well as those working toward policy change and sustainability (e.g.\, advocacy organizations\, government agencies\, funders\, policymakers\, etc.) \nThe conversation will be held on December 11th at 12:30pm Eastern/ 9:30am Pacific and registration is required. \nRegister today!   URL:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/event/racism-housing-and-asthma-a-conversation/ CATEGORIES:virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/76119575_xl-123RF-appalachianviews-editorial.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231206T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231206T090000 DTSTAMP:20231130T193908Z CREATED:20231130T193908Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231130T193908Z UID:4342-1701849600-1701853200@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:Academic Year Grand Rounds: Climate Change\, Children’s Health\, and Equity DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lisa Patel\, MD\, MESc\, FAAP\, is the Executive Director of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health\, and Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford School of Medicine.
