The Grand Challenge of Identifying and Reducing the Global Burden of Disease from Legacy, Current, and Emerging Pollutants
Session ID#: 76511
Session Description:
The health burdens of legacy contaminants, and the continuing global health burdens of current pollution, are both crippling global health and well-being. Much of the exposure science on these relatively well-known pollutants are known, as is their general toxicity. However, we are a long way from identifying the myriad exposure sources, constraining the processes of exposure, and mapping out pathways to limit exposure and adverse public health impacts. This session aims to address these shortcomings by taking a multi-sphere approach, including analyzing critical exposure pathways in air, water, and soil and assessing the relative health impacts from exposure to all of these. A focus of this session will also be a critical analysis of exposure inequity and social structure to highlight that not all populations are exposed equally, respond similarly to exposures, and that some populations are indeed inordinately burdened by contamination.
