Oral
Science in environmental public health: Healthy air
In this session, presenters will deliver a series of papers on air toxics, naturally occurring and human-generated. Papers will explore methods to assess residental-level and individual-level air toxic exposures; highlight available air toxics data sources; detail the links between exposure and the emergence of disease(s); and provide insight regarding implications for future study.
Learning Objectives: 1. Explore environmental public health science related to exposures to naturally occurring and emitted air contaminants present in ambient air. 2. Focus on the potential connections between disease and exposures to ambient air pollution.
