Oral | ||||
| ||||
| This session will focus an environmental epidemiology, including air pollution, water chemistry and pesticides. The cardio-respiratory effects of air pollution, the relationship between air pollution and asthma, the need for swimming pool operator training and the effects of pesticide exposure to women and adolescents will be discussed. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1) Quantify the effects of ambient SO2 and NO2 on cardiac and respiratory emergency department patient load.; 2) Understand the relationship between traffic air pollution and childhood asthma; 3) Demonstrate how swimming pool operator training might improve public swimming pool water quality and safety; 4) Describe the association between lifetime body burden of organochlorine chemicals as measured in blood serum concentrations and mammographic density and adverse reproductive health outcomes found in this population of women; and 5) Identify exposure-incident variables associated with adolescent pesticide exposures. | ||||
