Environmental Contaminants and Assessment of Exposure
This poster session will examine a variety of environmental exposures and chemicals and different ways of assessing exposure and managing risks in order to protect community health. Topics include drinking water contaminants, industrial chemical releases, and biological and chemical terrorism agents. In addition, posters will assess community health threats from methamphetamine labs, toy jewelry containing lead, and will examine use of the World Trade Center disaster as a case study for educating middle school students.
Learning Objectives: Describe health impact assessments and strategic communication analyses as tools for protecting community health. Describe the implementation of biomonitoring and animal sentinel programs to protect community health.
