HEI Webinar 8: What We Have Learned about Effects on Health at Low Levels of Exposure: Evidence from the United States, Canada, and Europe
2021-05-25 04:00 - 05:00 (America/Chicago)
Webinar 8: What We Have Learned about Effects on Health at Low Levels of Exposure: Evidence from the United States, Canada, and Europe
May 25, 2021 – 10:00am ET

Chairs: Amy Herring, Duke University, HEI Research Committee, and Sverre Vedal, University of Washington
In 2015, HEI funded three studies to investigate the health effects of long-term exposures to low levels of air pollution in very large populations across the United States, Canada, and Europe. This session will present results from these recently completed studies, discuss their strengths and weaknesses, and discuss potential implications for future risk assessment and regulation. Highlights include thorough examinations of concentration–response functions, results for multiple health endpoints (e.g., cause-specific mortality, respiratory events), as well as multiple pollutants (e.g., PM2.5, O3, NO2), and causal modeling approaches.

ISES Webinar: Increased Exposure to Commonly Used Disinfectants during the COVID-19 Pandemic
2021-06-24 09:00 - 10:00
Increased Exposure to Commonly Used Disinfectants during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Date: Thursday, June 24, 2021
Time: 2:00PM – 3:00PM EST
Presenter: Amina Salamova

Webinar description:
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs or “quats”) are a class of chemicals used as disinfectants in cleaning and other consumer products. While disinfection is recommended for maintaining a safe environment during the COVID-19 pandemic, the increased use of QACs is concerning as exposure to these compounds has been associated with adverse effects on reproductive and respiratory systems. In this talk, I will present the results of our work on determining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the QAC indoor exposure and body burden. This is the first comprehensive study on the indoor exposure and biomonitoring of the three major QAC groups and our results provide valuable information for future epidemiological, toxicological, and risk assessment studies targeting this class of compounds.

Top tips for writing an Academic and Industrial Curriculum Vitae (CV)
2021-11-08 12:00 - 13:00 | Webinar
Preparing a Curriculum Vitae (CV) for a prospective job or funding application can be an overwhelming task, especially with different requirements and styles required depending on the position that a person is applying. This workshop webinar will give an overview of the ‘Top tips’ for preparing a CV and cover letter, and will also give an overview on the differing types of CV requirements for preparing a CV for an industry/private sector job, within academia and to align with the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). This workshop will give participants an opportunity to have their own CV reviewed by scientists within breakout sessions and to also receive suggestions from peer to peer discussions.

HEI Webinar Series: Status of air quality & health data streams – accessibility and usability across SE Europe
2021-12-01 01:30 - 03:00 | Webinar
Understanding the burden of disease that air pollution places on society begins with scientific evidence on its effects on health. Such evidence, in turn, can bolster targeted policymaking and public engagement. Using examples from the region, this webinar will discuss various opportunities to utilize available air quality and health datasets to understand the health effects of exposure to air pollution. Speakers will also address key needs in these data streams necessary to strengthen air pollution-health evidence regionally and nationally.
This is the second webinar in the SE Europe Webinar Series organized by the Health Effects Institute and is co-hosted with the ISEE-Europe chapter.
Co-Chairs: Drs. Dragan Gjorgjev, University Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, N. Macedonia, and Hanna Boogaard, HEI/ISEE-EU
