Presented by Kevin Kennedy, Luke Gard, and Elizabeth Friedman
Wednesday, June 8, 2022 at 9:00 am MT
There is a direct relationship between our environments and our health. Our knowledge about the role of indoor exposure and human health has grown exponentially in the past 50 years. Children, because of their developmental status, are uniquely susceptible to certain chemical exposures, many of which are anthropogenic. This presentation will provide a case example of a multidisciplinary approach designed to explore, identify, and address some of these exposures, particularly the ones known to have adverse health effects in order to improve child health in the Kansas City Metro Area.
