Pregnant people are exposed to a wide range of environmental chemicals, yet health effects have been studied for only a small fraction of them. This seminar will highlight how the ECHO Program is advancing research on priority understudied chemicals through innovative biomonitoring and large-scale epidemiologic studies, including new findings linking prenatal exposures to birth outcomes in more than 5,000 pregnancies.

Join FABSCRAP for a conversation with experts working across environmental science, public health, and innovative engineering to explore the microfiber problem from multiple perspectives. We’ll discuss where microfibers come from, what accelerates their release, what we know—and don’t yet know—about their impacts, and what can be done to address the problem.

The symposium will highlight urgent needs, present recent scientific evidence, and serve as a continuation of our collaborative dialogue on the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee’s process toward a Global Plastics Treaty, to ensure that the protection of human health remains a priority within this process.

How we communicate about climate change, health, and equity matters. In a crowded and increasingly polarized information landscape, health professionals and advocates have an important opportunity to connect with new audiences, tell compelling stories, and build trust around the health impacts of climate change. This four-part webinar series will provide practical strategies and tools to help participants communicate with greater clarity, intention, and impact.

Dr Ned Ketyer, a retired pediatrician and medical advisor for the Environmental Health Project will discuss the health impacts of fracking and petrochemicals in the Marcellus Shale gas patch.

Join Megan Wolff, PhD, MPH on Children’s Environmental Health Day for her Small Bodies, Big Questions: Plastics, Microplastics, and Children’s Health webinar.

The University of New Mexico’s Center for Metals in Biology and Medicine welcomes you to join us every other Friday for “Coffee & Microplastics,” a webinar series where we talk about the science being done in microplastics research.

The VCCA Climate and Health in the Commonwealth Conference brings together health professionals, students, educators, clinicians, and healthcare sustainability leaders from across the region to learn, connect, and advance climate‑ready health systems. Participants will exchange ideas, build partnerships, and identify practical opportunities to prepare a climate‑ready health workforce and create more sustainable, resilient healthcare systems across Virginia.

This free three hour workshop will serve as a primer for nurses, healthcare professionals and clinicians to better understand the connection between climate change and toxic chemicals, explore the current science of selected toxic chemicals including PFAS, review the potential health impacts of toxic chemicals, and discuss how to effectively communicate about toxic chemicals to patients, colleagues, communities and policymakers.

Plastic Pollution Coalition will host a webinar exploring the risks of plastic food packaging and how to unwrap our food systems. Getting plastic off our tables shouldn’t be a personal choice problem: it’s a policy problem. And it’s one we can solve.
