SUMMARY:Neuroendocrine disruptors and brain development: Lessons from PCBs
DESCRIPTION:Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are acutely toxic at high concentrations. 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.

SUMMARY:Racism\, Housing\, and Asthma: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Regional Asthma Management & Prevention (RAMP) and the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) invite you to join a conversation on the connections between racism\, housing\, and asthma with three of the country’s leading practitioners and researchers in this space: \n\nTyra Bryant-Stephens\, MD\, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia\nNeeta Thakur\, MD\, MPH\, University of California San Francisco\nAdali Martinez\, MD\, MPH\, University of California San Francisco\n\nAmong those providing asthma home visiting services and/or working toward scaling and sustaining asthma home visiting services\, many agree that housing is one of the most critical social determinants of asthma health disparities. \nFurther\, we know that poor housing conditions are not the result of individual behaviors nor happenstance. 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!

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:Policy-relevant Epidemiologic Methods for Traffic-related Air Pollution & Infant Health
DESCRIPTION:Determining to what extent regulations produce the promised health benefits is a critical public health goal. For instance\, billions of dollars have been spent implementing regulations to reduce traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) from tailpipe emissions in the United States. However\, few health studies have empirically evaluated the direct impact of TRAP reductions on population health. In this talk\, Dr. Willis will discuss an ongoing accountability study to determine how different aspects of TRAP regulations have yielded improvements to infant health in Texas. \n  \nRegister here: https://nyulangone.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jFvzwlGDQMe5CZ53I0WMHg#/registration

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
