One of the side effects of the innovations in our modern world is the potential toxins that can be introduced into our environment. Car exhaust, pesticides, plastics—in high enough concentrations, they can affect our health.
It’s a subject that we’re all concerned about, so in today’s episode of Minute with Mark, we're taking you to meet Dr. Pam Lein, a prominent scientific researcher at the school. Pam’s goal is to determine how environmental pollution can influence the risk and severity of complex diseases in people and animals. This includes a variety of conditions such as developmental disorders, asthma, Alzheimer’s disease and seizure disorders. People who follow such things know Pam especially for her findings related to polychlorinated biphenyls, or as you probably know it, PCBs.
Please join us as we visit Pam’s lab and learn about how air pollution can affect learning and memory.
