Chemical Insights Research Institute will host an upcoming webinar exploring how wildfires, extreme heat, and chemical exposures can affect community health.
Rising temperatures, more frequent heat waves, and intensifying wildfires present growing challenges for communities. Extreme heat can affect air quality, while wildfires that reach urban areas can produce smoke containing complex mixtures of chemicals with potential health impacts.
Researchers Tim Nurkiewicz, Ph.D., Diana Hamer, Ph.D., and Mike Bergin, Ph.D., will discuss their work examining the health impacts of inhaled wildfire smoke emissions, the sociodemographic characteristics of communities affected by wildfires, and the health impacts of extreme heat and air pollution.
Together, they will explore how research on these changing environmental conditions can help inform efforts to protect community health.
