HEI Webinar 2: Environmental Health Research and Communities: Stories of Successes and Challenges
2021-04-13 02:00 - 03:00 (America/Chicago)
Webinar 2: Environmental Health Research and Communities: Stories of Successes and Challenges
Apr 13, 2021 – 10:00am ET

Chairs: Francesca Dominici, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, HEI Research Committee, and Peter Thorne, University of Iowa, HEI–Energy Research Committee
Investigating and addressing environmental health research questions requires collaboration among researchers, affected communities, policymakers, and other stakeholders before, during, and after research is conducted. Engaging communities facing socioeconomic or racial inequities throughout the research process can be challenging, despite the public health importance of doing so. In this session, we will hear case studies of environmental health research that both informs and is informed by the affected communities. These will be followed by a panel discussion on ethical considerations in working with communities as well as the benefits and challenges that come with community involvement.

HEI Webinar 1: Climate Change, Air Quality, and Health
2021-04-06 04:00 - 05:00
Webinar 1: Climate Change, Air Quality, and Health
Apr 06, 2021 – 10:00am ET

Chairs: Frank Kelly, Imperial College, London, HEI Review Committee, and Melissa Perry, George Washington University, HEI Review Committee Chair
The changing climate is intricately linked to air quality and health. It has the potential to have significant impacts on air quality, for example with increased temperatures leading to higher levels of ozone, and drier conditions increasing wildfires and in turn, increasing particulate matter. At the same time black carbon, ozone, and other air pollutants can be short-lived climate forcers, exacerbating climate change.
This session will review what we know about these important interactions, what they mean for air quality and health co-benefits, and the potential for unequal exposures, benefits, and impacts.
