| The first of two sessions on public health and the environment covers a range of topics. Recommendations for preventing mosquito-borne diseases will be presented. A health risk assessment will be presented in two stages; the first examining existing health-related data, the second analyzing in-home surveys of selected households in the at-risk community. Finally, self-reported respiratory symptoms and indoor and outdoor environments are considered in Japan and in the United States. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Apply statistical models to better understand how a percent change in SO2 is associated with a percent change in peak expiratory flow rate. 2. List four issues states and locals must consider when developing and maintaining mosquito control programs. 3. Describe the first and second stage of the health risk assessment used to identify patterns of illness for residents living near a municipal landfill. 4. Identify the outcomes participants can expect to demonstrate as a result of the respiratory symptoms and residential environments. | |||

Are peak expiratory flow rates of asthmatics impaired by levels of SO2 in the EPA 'safe' zone? ![[ Recorded presentation ]](/static/img/filetypes/16x16/wrf.gif){kind=small} Stanley H. Weiss, MD, Azadeh Tasslimi, BA, Amy L. Davidow, PhD, Clifford P. Weisel, PhD | |||
