Description
Philadelphia Public Health Grand Rounds
Topic: Climate Change and the Air We Breathe
Climate change is expected to increase outdoor air pollution due to a variety of reasons, including increased energy requirements. The health impacts of worsening air pollution are many; some of which already exist in our area, and can disproportionately affect specific populations.
This Public Health Grand Rounds will engage local experts on air pollution science, health impacts, and air monitoring to better understand local exposures in neighborhoods and policy recommendations to improve air quality and health in Philadelphia. The session aims to provide attendees with an understanding of the air pollution problem in our region and tools and strategies to implement as individuals and on a community level.
This event is presented by The Section on Public Health and Preventive Medicine of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia in coordination with Philadelphia Department of Public Health with funding support from the Independence Foundation.
