Ellen Hahn, Ph.D., RN - Professor, University of Kentucky

EHSC Seminar Series Highlighted Topic: Cancer and Community Outreach

Project narrative: Co-exposure to tobacco smoke and radon dramatically increases new cases of lung cancer. Yet, few test their homes for radon and public awareness of the seriousness of radon exposure is minimal. BREATHE’s multidisciplinary community-academic team at the University of Kentucky engages with community scientists, community-based organizations, and public libraries to boost home radon testing using digital radon technology and access to affordable radon mitigation.

Chelsea Rochman, PhD - Assistant Professor, University of Toronto

Highlighted topic: Environmental Health and Microplastics

Seminar narrative: Microplastic particles are unique from other contaminants in that they are a physical particle composed of a complex mixture of different chemicals (e.g., monomers, additives). In the environment, they are found in diverse shapes and sizes. This talk will be about how the multidimensional characteristics of microplastics affect their fate, and the exposure and effects to biota in aquatic ecosystems.
