Applying an Environmental Justice Framework to Epidemiologic Studies
A Speaker Series:
Toxicology and Societies
The Impacts of Chemicals in Our Lives
Brought to you by:
WWU Institute of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
WWU Alumni Association
Please join us for the next speaker in our series on Toxicology and Societies: The Impacts of Chemicals in our Lives.
In this talk, Dr. James-Todd will present epidemiologic studies evaluating the evidence of environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals on women's reproductive health outcomes. She will provide an environmental justice framework to the epidemiologic evidence, highlighting the critical role of exposure assessment and understanding of health disparities across a number of environmental exposures and adverse reproductive health outcomes. Examples will include personal care products, phthalates, gestational diabetes, and acculturation measures. In addition, she will pose the importance of asking solution-oriented research questions for reduction of environmental health disparities and the improvement of health equity.
This seminar series aims to help you better appreciate, understand, and evaluate the many ways that manufactured chemicals (more than 300,000) interact with all humans on Earth.
