| The second of two sessions in environmental public health explores various topics. Health outcomes relating to differing exposure levels will be presented, ranging from a community based study examining chronic low level exposure to gasoline vapors, to an investigation of a mercury spill at a high school. Pulmonary health effects of ozone and particulate matter on hikers will be discussed as will future mortality risk for persons with prior severe heat illness. This session will conclude with a discussion of the issues involved in extending a longitudinal study concerning the health of Vietnam veterans exposed to herbicides during the war. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Recognize the necessity of cooperation between various public health agencies in providing objective assessments. 2. Evaluate heat illness hospitalization as a potential precursor to pre-mature mortality. 3. Recognize the public health impact of Mercury contamination. 4. Understand Current Air Pollution Issues in an Urban National Park located in the Southeastern United States. 5. Identify the general considerations underlying the examination of when and under what circumstances a longitudinal study should be continued. | |||
