SUMMARY:ISES Webinar:  Leveraging technological advancements to measure PM2.5 and black carbon levels from household air pollution in 8 countries: Results from the PURE-AIR study
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 40% of global population\, primarily in Asia\, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America\, are exposed to harmful household air pollution (HAP) from cooking with polluting fuels (e.g. wood\, coal). Exposure to HAP was the second highest environmental risk factor in the Global Burden of Disease 2019\, with an estimated 2.3 million attributable deaths. Residential combustion of polluting fuels further contributes to outdoor air pollution and emissions of climate-forcing pollutants\, including up to one-third of global anthropogenic emissions of black carbon (BC). Previously\, few large-scale studies of HAP exposure had been conducted due to financial and time constraints. The Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE)-AIR study was carried out among rural communities of eight countries (Bangladesh\, Chile\, China\, Colombia\, India\, Pakistan\, Tanzania and Zimbabwe)\, enabling a multinational examination of variations in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and BC levels. Technological innovations in air monitoring\, data transfer\, autonomous filter weighing and real-time quality control procedures enabled large-scale HAP measurement in PURE-AIR. This presentation will discuss these advancements along with statistical modeling techniques used to rapidly scale up PM2.5 and BC exposure assessment for use in future epidemiological analyses. This event is sponsored in part by Access Sensor Technology. \nPresenter\nDr. Matthew Shupler\, postdoctoral research associate\, University of Liverpool

SUMMARY:US EPA Research Webinar:  Community and Citizen Science: Making Your Data Count
DESCRIPTION:How can community and citizen science contribute to environmental decision-making? Many EPA\, state\, and tribal environmental programs are increasingly using community and citizen science for environmental monitoring and addressing social and environmental justice concerns. A recent multi-stakeholder workshop explored gaps and needed improvements in data management that will allow for a more efficient flow of data from producers to users. A major focus is on community science projects that involve grassroots activities to address local concerns. \nThis webinar will showcase community-oriented projects and share ideas from the workshop. Webinar topics will include: How can we design a future that maximizes the use of community and citizen science data? How do we address the barriers that limit data use today? How can EPA serve as a catalyst to build a stronger\, more inclusive collaborative network with states\, tribes\, local government\, non-governmental organizations\, academia\, and other organizations? \nPlease attend this webinar to learn about the tools and practices used in these exciting community and citizen science projects and how EPA\, states\, and tribal governments can better support these efforts. \nPresenter: Jay Benforado\, EPA OSAPE

SUMMARY:February Webinar:  “Smoke Detector” of Human Disease for Environmental Aerosol Exposure
DESCRIPTION:Environmental aerosol exposure causes many diseases including asthma\, respiratory infections and death. Among other routes\, airborne one often dominates the exposure. Air consists of many different pollutants (both biological and non-biological). COVID-19 pandemic further threatens the air safety\, and people have to wear the mask to prevent the inhalation of SARS-CoV-2. Different technologies have been developed for real-time monitoring various air pollutants\, but such efforts are far from enough to offer proper aerosol protection. Although humans have receptors for certain air pollutants such as endotoxin\, many aerosol exposures occur silently without any knowledge\, e.g.\, inhalation COVID-19 virus aerosol. It is rather important to equip humans with the capability to monitor such occurrences such that the relevant problems can be corrected in time to avoid physiology changes further inducing diseases. Breath-borne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have emerged as a promising non-invasive sample for disease diagnosis\, including cancer and diabetes. Most recently\, it was shown that rats emitted distinctive profile of VOCs within minutes when exposed to different pollutants including ozone and endotoxin via inhalation. During the pandemic times\, breath-borne VOC fingerprint was also used to rapidly screen COVID-19. Pollutant exposure could result in changes in metabolism\, thus releasing different patterns of VOCs. Close monitoring of exhaled VOC profile can spot the early signs of pre-disease state such that the exposure can be immediately cut off. Sensor array and machine learning together can lend a great hand toward such an objective. In this talk\, I will present some examples from our laboratory for these endeavors and hope to foster collaborations and produce other inspiring thoughts across disciplines. \nAbout the Presenter:  Maosheng Yao is a Boya Distinguished Professor in the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at Peking University in Beijing\, China.

SUMMARY:April Webinar:   Canine on the Couch: The New Canary in the Coal Mine for Environmental Health Studies
DESCRIPTION:The environment undoubtedly influences human health\, yet the extent of its impact remains a significant challenge to address. The long latency period associated with the development of chronic human diseases (e.g. cancer\, heart disease) is a major obstacle to identifying potential links to environmental exposures that occur early in life. To better understand risks to population health from environmental exposures we need more research to accurately and reliably assess environmental exposures throughout the lifetime. Our dogs spend their whole lives sharing our environment and many of our daily exposures to pollutants. Moreover\, the canine and human genomes are closely related and the One Health concept has shown that both species develop diseases\, including cancers\, with shared clinical and biological features. With a 6-8 fold shorter lifespan than most humans\, use of pet dogs as a sentinel species can help elucidate links between chemical exposures and related human disease. To support this research direction\, we conducted a study to investigate chemical exposures among pet dogs and their paired human companions using silicone dog-tags and wristbands. This presentation will discuss the use of silicone passive sampling devices in pet dogs and demonstrate that pet dogs can act as surrogates for human exposures in the home environment\, potentially providing a new way to study relationships between environmental exposures and disease etiology. \nPresenter:  Dr. Catherine Wise\, Duke University

SUMMARY:May Webinar:  Title: The Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children’s Health: Overview and children’s chemical exposure assessment
DESCRIPTION:The Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children’s Health is an ongoing study consisting of two birth cohorts of different sizes\, the Sapporo cohort and the Hokkaido cohort\, which were established in 2001. This presentation provides an update on the progress\, summarize recent results\, and suggest future directions. Prenatal environmental exposure to chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins\, organochlorine pesticides\, per-and polyfluorinated compounds (PFAS)\, and phthalates has been measured. Cord blood biomarkers\, such as adiponectin\, leptin\, thyroid\, and reproductive hormones were also measured. Information on physical growth\, neurodevelopment\, allergy and infections\, and onset of puberty has been collected to analyze health outcomes. In this webinar\, results of children’s chemical exposure are focused. When participating children of the Hokkaido cohort reached 7 years old\, morning void urine samples were collected to investigate the current internal exposure levels of shorter half-life compounds or their metabolites: phthalates\, phosphate flame retardants and plasticizers (PFRs)\, bisphenols\, and nonylphenol (NP). Using same samples\, we measured oxidative stress 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine and lipid peroxidation biomarkers N-ε-hexanoyl-lysine (HEL) and trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE). The prevalence of asthma and allergies were also examined by ISAAC questionnaire. When comparing the levels of these chemicals in the urine collected from 2012 to 2017\, increasing secular trend of PFRs and BPS was found\, while decreasing trend in BPA and NP. Furthermore\, the levels of phthalates did not show any secular trends during the study periods suggesting stable exposures. Mixture of PFR metabolites as well as NP were positively associated with levels of HEL and HNE\, whereas phthalates metabolites and bisphenol levels did not show any clear associations with these markers. Finally\, single metabolite as well as mixture of phthalates were positively associated with increased risk of wheeze and eczema of 7 years old children. For further examination and follow-up\, we are now conducting face-to face health check-up with blood and urine sample collections at one’s adolescence. \nPresenter:  Dr. Atsuko Ikeda-Araki\, Hokkaido University \nAtsuko Ikeda-Araki\, Ph.D\, is Professor of Faculty of Health Sciences\, and adjunct Professor of Center for Environmental and Health Sciences (CEHS) at the Hokkaido University (HU).

This webinar will include a discussion of completed study from our lab comparing the harms of e-cigarettes to combustible cigarettes by Dr. Gideon St. Helen. \nGideon St.Helen\, PhD\, is a toxicologist with postdoctoral training in clinical pharmacology. His research interests involve three major themes: (1) understanding the safety and risk of novel tobacco products\, such as electronic cigarettes\, on carcinogen and toxicant exposure\, as well as the effects on the cardiovascular system; (2) examination of the pharmacology and safety of cannabis products\, and the interplay/interaction between cannabis and tobacco; and (3) examination of biological and behavioral factors that underlie smoking-related health disparities among American smokers. \nDr. St.Helen received his PhD in toxicology from the University of Georgia in 2011. His doctoral training was under Dr. Luke Naeher in the Department of Environmental Health Science\, College of Public Health\, and focused on the utility of biomarkers to examine exposure and effects of outdoor secondhand smoke. Dr. St.Helen treasures his time in the Naeher lab. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical pharmacology in the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California San Francisco under the mentorship of Dr. Neal Benowitz from 2011 to 2014. In 2015\, he joined the faculty of the University of California San Francisco where he continues to conduct innovative research on the risks and benefits of novel tobacco and cannabis products.

SUMMARY:July Webinar:  Characterization of Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) Present in Commercial Anti-Fog Products and Their In Vitro Adipogenic Activity
DESCRIPTION:Anti-fogging products rose in popularity in response to the increased use of protective gear\, including masks and face shields\, during the COVID19 pandemic. These products are one of the solutions recommended to help prevent fogging of glasses while wearing masks. While many of these products are marketed as ‚Äúsafe‚Äù and ‚Äúnon-toxic‚Äù\, it seems possible that some of these products could contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) due to their water repellent properties. The two main objectives of this study were to identify and characterize PFAS compounds present in commercially available anti-fog sprays and cloth wipes\, and investigate the adipogenic activity of the anti-fog sprays in a common in vitro pre-adipocyte model. Fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) and fluorotelomer ethoxylates (FTEOs) were detected at significant levels in all anti-fog products (n=9) and anti-fog formulations (n=2) analyzed within this study. In addition\, all four anti-fog sprays and both commercial formulations exhibited significant cytotoxicity and adipogenic activity (either triglyceride accumulation and/or pre-adipocyte proliferation) in murine 3T3-L1 cells. Results suggest that FTEOs are a significant contributor to the adipogenic activity exhibited by the anti-fog sprays. All together\, these results suggest that FTEOs are present in commercial products at toxicologically relevant levels and more research is needed to fully understand the health risks from using these PFAS-containing products.

SUMMARY:August Webinar:  Using satellite and low-cost sensor data for large-scale ambient air pollution prediction
DESCRIPTION:Air pollution is one of the leading global health risk factors. Ambient air pollution has been traditionally monitored at regulatory stations at high instrumentation and maintenance costs. Sparse and uneven regulatory monitoring has a limited ability to reÔ¨Çect pollution details\, especially in remote communities. This paradigm is shifting with increasingly available satellite remote sensing instruments to monitor air quality at a global scale and low-cost air sensors that enable community-level air quality monitoring. In this talk\, I will present my past and ongoing research in developing statistical methods to overcome the current challenges of utilizing novel satellite and low-cost sensor data in large-scale\, high-resolution ambient air pollution prediction\, such as satellite data missingness and inaccuracy in low-cost sensor data. These methods particularly hold promise to advance air pollution exposure assessment that has been poorly characterized with regulatory monitoring\, such as wildfire smoke estimation.

SUMMARY:ISES Virtual Pre-Conference Workshops
DESCRIPTION:There are a variety of Virtual Pre-Conference Workshops planned in conjunction with the in-person ISES 2022 Annual Meeting.  Join us in the weeks or days leading up to the in-person meeting. \nNOTE:  Registration for the ISES 2022 Annual Meeting is not required to register for the Virtual Pre-Conference Workshops.  Click here to register for the Virtual Pre-Conference Workshops. \nTitle:  Presenting at a Conference:  Tips and Feedback\n2 September\, 11 AM – 1 PM ET\nVirtual only\nDescription:  This workshop will help attendees learn how to develop and execute a ​high-quality conference presentation for the ISES 2022 Annual Meeting.  The registrants will be asked to review a previously recorded seminar and prepare their presentation. Each participant will have an opportunity to show their oral/poster presentation\, to be evaluated and receive feedback from tenured members of the Society. \n\nTitle: UNEP’s USEtox consensus exposure and toxicity model for chemical substitution\, risk screening and LCA\n19 September\, 10 AM ET – 1 PM ET\nVirtual only\nDescription: The aim of this course is to introduce participants to the exposure science methods used in life-cycle assessment\, comparative risk assessment\, and chemical substitution. Participants will learn to use and evaluate basic tools for mass-balance\, fate modelling\, near-field and far-field exposure and intake fraction\, and effect factor estimation. Participants will review underlying model assumptions and evaluate data needs along with data and knowledge gaps in these assessments. The course is intended for environmental science practitioners interested in the scientific fundamentals of chemical impact assessment. Only basic background knowledge of environmental modelling\, risk assessment or life cycle assessment is considered necessary. \n\nTitle: Meet & Greet\, Network with exposure scientists from around the world!\n20 September\, 10 AM ET – 11 AM ET\nVirtual only\nDescription: The ISES Mentorship Committee is hosting a virtual meet and greet to prepare and get excited about the in-person annual meeting. This free event is open to all and it will be a good opportunity: * To meet exposure scientists from around the world * To meet people who are planning to attend the ISES 2022 conference * For students who would like to meet mentors within their field * For new members to meet other exposure scientists * For all who would like to brush up on their social skills. \n\nTitle:  Hands on analysis of mass spectrometry-based exposomics data using ADAP-BIG and ADAP-KDB\n21 September\, 10 AM – 12 PM ET\nVirtual only\nDescription:  High throughput gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) technologies have made it possible to conduct large-scale exposomics studies. These studies can involve thousands of samples and produce hundreds of gigabytes of raw LC-MS and GC-MS data. Such a large amount of data raises fundamentally new challenges for software tools and cloud resources to preprocess raw data from instruments and annotate the resulting signals. These challenges include handling big data on available computing workstations\, aligning data from multiple batches of samples\, performing batch-effect correction\, and others. This workshop will introduce a suite of software tools and cloud resources specifically designed to handle mass spectrometry exposomics data from large-scale studies. \n\nTitle:  How to access open air quality data from the OpenAQ Platform\n22 September\, 10 AM – 12 PM ET\nVirtual only\nDescription:  The workshop will open with an overview of the OpenAQ Platform\, the importance of open data\, and its diverse applications in the scientific field. Participants will then have an opportunity to learn about how to access air quality data through a step-by-step interactive tutorial. Following a Q&A session\, the participants will engage in a deeper dive with the platform\, using case studies and examples of open data queries. These examples can be based on real-life research questions and/or objectives that exposure scientists are grappling with in their current research. Finally\, the workshop will close with resources and opportunities to connect to the broader OpenAQ Community\, a committed community of air quality advocates.

SUMMARY:November 1 Webinar: Defining the Cutting-Edge to the U.S. EPA’s Computational Exposure Science
DESCRIPTION:Exposure science in EPA’s Office of Research and Development is being transformed from its traditional “after the fact” and “one chemical at a time” approach. Advances in computational exposure are providing foresight on exposure potential prior to the manufacture of chemicals and these advances can be applied to most of the chemicals considered for commercial use. This research is being advanced on four related fronts. First\, a carefully curated web-accessible chemical resource has been created to characterize the chemicals known to be used in commerce and believed to occur in the environment. The DSSTox database lists >900\,000 unique chemical substances relevant to the environmental exposure landscape and links the unambiguous identification of the chemical’s structure to measured and modeled data resources. Next\, data and model development efforts span chemical\, physical\, and behavioral aspects of exposure and occur iteratively such that data and model development inform one another. Modeling efforts rely on monitoring and other data that are analyzed using machine learning. This generates predictions of chemical exposures and associated uncertainty for thousands of chemicals at a time. Lastly\, the development and application of non-targeted analysis methods are capturing chemical occurrence in a broad chemical space and revealing contaminants of emerging concern. These integrated research efforts are tailored to support timely large-scale exposure assessment to prioritize and manage risk and provide exposure foresight to enable innovative green chemistries. This abstract does not reflect EPA policy.

SUMMARY:February Joint Webinar:  Silicone Wristbands:  Personal Exposure Monitors
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Heather Stapleton of Duke University will present “Silicone Wristbands: Personal Exposure Monitors to Help Support Research on the Exposome.”  OneHealth and the exposome are critical conceptual constructs that are helping to evolve our approaches to mixtures and assessment of real-world cumulative exposures over a lifetime; environmental justice and citizen science can also be informed by considering these constructs. \nThis is a joint webinar with Risk Assessment Specialty Section (RASS) of the Society of Toxicology (SOT). \nClick the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://aim-hq.zoom.us/j/85046488583?pwd=TzlWa04wbFdHb093c010WVNlNzVTUT09 \nMeeting ID: 850 4648 8583\nPasscode: SOT2023 \nAbstract:  The concept of the exposome was first introduced in 2005 as a means of complementing the genome and calling for more research to characterize our environment and improve our understanding of non-genetic disease risks. However\, the human “environment” is incredibly complex and dynamic\, particularly over an individual’s lifespan. Our diet\, behavior\, occupation\, and housing all strongly influence our chemical and non-chemical exposures. A number of exposomics based research studies to date have utilized human tissues (e.g. blood) to characterize both exogenous and endogenous chemicals and examine associations with disease state. Characterizing and measuring chemical exposures in blood and urine\, while often ideal\, does have some limitations\, and there is a need to pair ambient and personal measures of chemical exposures with biological measurements. This talk will highlight current research that utilizes silicone wristbands to measure the external exposome\, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of these wearable sensors. In addition\, this talk will highlight research that has used silicone wristbands to understand associations with internal dose\, exposures over different life stages\, to support One Health\, and in occupational and non-occupational settings.
