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.

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:20240912T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240912T160000 DTSTAMP:20240808T165531Z CREATED:20240808T165434Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240808T165531Z UID:5059-1726153200-1726156800@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:Uncovering the Role of Cytokines during Brain Development DESCRIPTION:Monthly seminar of the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology featuring Yeong Shin Yim\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology. \nThis event is in-person only.

The global crisis of plastic production and waste is increasing exponentially. Today’s infants are born with their brains and bodies already burdened by plastics: micro- and nano-plastic particles have been found in the placenta and in newborns’ first stool\, and further exposures occur through breastmilk and infant formula. \nA briefing paper by Project TENDR synthesizes the latest science on fetal and early childhood exposures to plastics and the resulting harm to children’s developing brains. It outlines the widespread exposure to plastics and associated chemicals\, such as ortho-phthalates\, bisphenols\, and flame retardants\, which are linked to cognitive deficits and developmental disabilities in children. \nThe paper makes several recommendations to strengthen the global plastics treaty\, including measures to address the toxicity and proliferation of plastics\, and to regulate chemicals by class. Following the recent wrap-up of the third round of treaty negotiations in May\, the treaty is set to begin the final session of negotiations in October 2024. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Linda Birnbaum\, Dr. Carmen Marsit\, and Maureen Swanson will discuss how children’s developing brains are harmed by the effects of plastics and toxic chemicals in plastics.
