SUMMARY:Racism that Upends The Cradle
DESCRIPTION:Historic and persistent inequities compound jeopardy for Black children and other children of color.  From COVID-19 to climate change to economic crises\, Black children experience the trauma of racism even before they are born\, and are confronted throughout their lives by a system designed not to support them. We can build a new future: one that embraces systems that enable us to all share in abundance and thrive together\, supporting all children’s futures.  Join this discussion on children’s environmental health equity and climate justice to hear speakers explore how systemic racism across sectors impacts the health and wellness of Black children and how we can pave a way to racial healing and justice.

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:Unequal Treatment Revisited: A Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:The first workshop of a virtual series hosted by the National Academies’ ad hoc Committee on Unequal Treatment Revisited will examine major developments over the past two decades that have contributed to the current state of racial and ethnic health care inequities; discuss the impact of such inequities among patients\, families\, and communities; assess the roles of clinicians and health care leaders in contributing to or mitigating the inequities in health care; and explore what could be done differently in communities to advance health care equity. This workshop series is part of a consensus study that will identify major drivers of health care disparities\, gaps in the evidence base\, effective interventions\, and more. This work builds on the 2003 Institute of Medicine consensus report\, “Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care.”

SUMMARY:The Chemical Footprint of a Plastic Bottle
DESCRIPTION:The global beverage industry buys more than 500 billion plastic bottles every year to package its products. An upcoming report — to be released on May 23 — will document the harmful impacts of plastic bottles on human health\, environmental justice\, and climate change. \nHidden Hazards: The Chemical Footprint of a Plastic Bottle explores the many health harms of plastics production\, the potential health effects of consuming beverages in plastic bottles\, and dangers to workers and communities from recycling and disposal. \nDefend Our Health’s Executive Director Mike Belliveau will present highlights of the report\, including evidence that the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic used in beverage containers pollutes air\, water\, and food with cancer-causing chemicals. One of the report’s co-authors\, Belliveau will also review findings that exposures to these chemicals falls disproportionately on communities of color and low-income people\, largely in the Gulf Coast and Southeast US. Based on their findings\, the authors of Hidden Hazards urge all beverage companies to take immediate action to achieve zero discharge of cancer-causing chemicals along the PET supply chain\, and end the use of virgin fossil-based PET plastic by 2040 to help solve the climate crisis.

SUMMARY:Environmental Chemicals and Children's Health Continuing Medical Education
DESCRIPTION:Children are exposed to environmental chemicals every day that are linked to negative health outcomes including obesity\, diabetes\, and neurocognitive disorders. Although there is extensive evidence that these chemicals are hazardous\, clinical teaching and practice has changed little to reflect this advance in scientific understanding. This continuing medical education course aims to translate current children’s environmental health research on chemicals of concern into clinical practice by a) describing key chemicals of concern including bisphenols\, phthalates\, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)\, b) detailing their health impacts\, and c) educating clinicians on how they can advise patients on reducing their exposure and when additional clinical care may be required. This hybrid course will consist of four modules\, three lectures\, and one Q&A session\, and last approximately four hours. \n
