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:Closing the Exposure Assessment Gap: A Case Study of Phthalates
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Dr. Bhavna Shamasunder will explain the problems with current approaches to exposure assessment\, and will describe ways in which EPA could improve its approach in the short term. She will present the example of phthalates as a case study of the patchwork regulatory environment\, the ways in which incomplete exposure assessments contribute to the problem\, and the options for improving EPA’s approach. Her discussion of exposure assessment will draw upon and build on a recent study\, Addressing Systemic Problems with Exposure Assessments to Protect the Public’s Health. Dr. Shamasunder and Dr. Astrid Williams will discuss racial disparities in exposures to phthalates and implications for health\, drawing upon the findings of the Taking Stock study on impacts of beauty products on Black and Latina women’s health. \nThe webinar will be moderated by Jonathan Kalmuss-Katz of Earthjustice\, who will place the discussion in a framework of on-going work to address the cumulative risk of phthalates and other chemicals of high concern under the Toxic Substances Control Act. He will also discuss implications for environmental justice activities at EPA\, and will highlight opportunities to take action on this issue. \nThis webinar is cosponsored by CHE and the Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment (PRHE)’s Science Action Network.

SUMMARY:Long-term Health Effects of Childhood Glyphosate Exposure
DESCRIPTION:Rates of youth liver disease and metabolic disorders have increased dramatically in recent decades. Dr. Brenda Eskenazi will present the results of a long-term study examining possible links between glyphosate exposure and liver disease and metabolic disorders. Glyphosate is the most widely-used broad-spectrum herbicide in the world. \nThe researchers followed 480 mother-child pairs from pregnancy through age 18. They also gathered additional data through a nested case-control study\, in which they examined 60 young adults with elevated levels of certain liver enzymes and compared them with 91 young adults with normal levels of those enzymes. \nThe mother-child pairs were enrolled and studied through the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS). This study focused on primarily farmworker families in the Salinas Valley\, California\, and children born between 2000 and 2002. \nThe researchers measured urinary levels of glyphosate and a breakdown product of glyphosate\, AMPA. Urine samples were collected during pregnancy and when the children reached the ages of 5\, 14\, and 18. The researchers also estimated the amount of glyphosate applied within a one-kilometer radius around each home from pregnancy through age 5\, using pesticide application data reported to the state of California. When the children reached the age of 18\, the researchers measured liver enzyme levels and markers of metabolic syndrome. \nUrinary markers of glyphosate and AMPA exposure in childhood were associated with elevated liver enzymes and elevated risk of metabolic syndrome. Living near agricultural glyphosate applications between birth and age 5 was also associated with metabolic syndrome at age 18. The researchers conclude that childhood glyphosate exposure may increase risk of liver and metabolic disorders in young adults. \nThis webinar will be moderated by Sarah Howard of the Healthy Environment and Endocrine Disruptor Strategies (HEEDS) program of Environmental Health Sciences. \nFeatured Speaker\nBrenda Eskenazi\, PhD directs the Center for Environmental Research and Community Health (CERCH\, cerch.berkeley.edu) at the School of Public Health\, University of California at Berkeley. She is the Distinguished Jennifer and Brian Maxwell Professor Emeritus of Maternal and Child Health and Epidemiology. Dr. Eskenazi is a neuropsychologist and epidemiologist whose long-standing research interest has been the effects of the environmental factors on human reproduction (both male and female) and child development. Her work has included the potential health effects of numerous toxicants on a wide spectrum of child health outcomes. Her work has a community-based participatory research focus\, and she has been instrumental in illustrating the health conditions of farmworker families through the long-standing CHAMACOS project. Professor Eskenazi was awarded the prestigious John R. Goldsmith award from the International Society of Environmental Epidemiology for lifetime achievement in environmental epidemiology. \n

SUMMARY:PFAS: Looking Foward: NASEM Recommendations to Improve Public Health
DESCRIPTION:The NASEM report’s recommendations that include public health surveillance\, as well as the critical need to educate health providers on environmental exposures and associated health effects will be discussed. \nDr. Laura Anderko is an environmental health nurse consultant and co-director of the Federal Region 3 Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU) of Mid-Atlantic Center for Children’s Health and the Environment at the M. Louise Fitzpatrick College of Nursing\, Villanova University. She has consulted with health providers and communities about potential health effects and risk reduction strategies for PFAS. She was a co-author for the recent National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) report\, Guidance on PFAS Exposure\, Testing\, and Clinical Follow-up (2022) \nECHO PFAS Series \nThis series is based on Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) strategies. It is an innovative tele-mentoring program designed to create virtual communities of learners by bringing together healthcare providers and subject matter experts using videoconference technology\, brief lecture presentations\, and case-based learning\, fostering an “all learn\, all teach” approach. \nParticipants are engaged in the bi-directional virtual knowledge network by sharing clinical challenges and learning from experts and peers. \nDuring an ECHO session\, participants present real (anonymized) cases to the specialists—and each other—for discussion and recommendations. Participants learn from one another\, as knowledge is tested and refined through a local lens. \nEach participant will earn one CE for attending each session. There is no cost for participating in any of the sessions.
