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 URL:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/event/the-not-so-micro-plastic-problem-a-conversation-with-matt-simon/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:external,virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/98416582_xl-123RF-monticello.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230922T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230922T140000 DTSTAMP:20230720T163918Z CREATED:20230720T163917Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230720T163918Z UID:3955-1695387600-1695391200@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:Impacts of Heat on Health in Early Life DESCRIPTION:Climate change has significant implications for human health\, particularly through the exacerbation of extreme heat events. \nThis panel brings together health experts to discuss the alarming consequences of rising temperatures on human health\, with a specific focus on the vulnerability of fetuses and newborns.

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 URL:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/event/policy-relevant-epidemiologic-methods-for-traffic-related-air-pollution-infant-health/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:CEHRT ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/yd4pP-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230914T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230914T153000 DTSTAMP:20230807T141609Z CREATED:20230807T141609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230807T141609Z UID:4000-1694696400-1694705400@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:Forging a Future with Nature DESCRIPTION:A future supported by the natural environment depends on our effective involvement in decisions in our homes\, communities\, states\, and at the federal level to ensure that we are taking the steps necessary to protect against existential threats to health\, biodiversity\, and climate.

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  URL:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/event/chemicals-and-pregnancy-complications-findings-from-nontargeted-analysis/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:external,virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/pexels-matilda-wormwood-4098783-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230914 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230917 DTSTAMP:20230707T182224Z CREATED:20230707T182224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230707T182224Z UID:3933-1694649600-1694908799@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:9th Annual Center for Community Engagement\, Environmental Justice and Health Symposium on Environmental Justice and Health Disparities DESCRIPTION:The Community Engagement\, Environmental Justice and Health team is currently planning the 9th Annual University of Maryland Symposium on Environmental Justice and Health Disparities.

She received her bachelor’s in behavioral biology (2011) from Johns Hopkins University and both her master’s (2015) and Doctorate in Public Health (2019) from JHSPH. She also completed a T32 postdoctoral fellowship (2022) at the Pediatric Pulmonary Division of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. \nAs an exposure scientist and environmental epidemiologist\, Dr. Aherrera has a long-term interest in understanding environmental hazards and their impact on health outcomes. Her research interests focus largely on exposure to environmental hazards\, namely tobacco and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes)\, heavy metals\, aldehydes and microplastics\, and understanding their role in the development and prevention of adverse respiratory health outcomes. In September 2022\, she was awarded the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence by the NIEHS/FDA to investigate the exposure and toxicity of metal and aldehydes\, as well as the pulmonary health effects\, including inflammation\, of using new and emerging electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) devices among young adults. She was also awarded NIOSH pilot funding this year to address the critical knowledge gaps on occupational exposures to microfibers\, a major type of microplastic\, among garment industry workers. \nDr. Aherrera is passionate about reducing inequities in vulnerable and disproportionately exposed populations. She aims to build collaborations and a portfolio of multidisciplinary research that provide policy-relevant environmental epidemiologic evidence for interventions that would ultimately improve general population health. \nAttend via zoom here URL:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/event/vape-and-mirrors-chemical-exposure-and-potential-health-effects-from-e-cigarette-use/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:external ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Angela-Aherrera.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230828T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230828T160000 DTSTAMP:20230814T132811Z CREATED:20230814T132811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230814T132811Z UID:4008-1693234800-1693238400@live-penn-prcceh.pantheonsite.io SUMMARY:Children’s Environmental Health & the CDA DESCRIPTION:Join for a webinar on child care\, children’s environmental health\, and the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential.
