- About: Advancing environmental justice requires refined information on environmental emissions and exposures, health effects, and social determinants of health. This is in addition to screening level information available through EJ mapping tools from California and other states as well as EPA. For this reason, we are providing three examples of cutting-edge data systems on environment and public health, i.e., Wisconsin Department of Health?s Environmental Public Health Tracking Program, Texas Council on Environmental Quality?s emission events database, and EPA?s Toxic Release Inventory.
- Speakers:
- Constance Bell, Health Educator, Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Health Division of Public Health, Wisconsin Department of Health
- Cynthia Gandee, Special Assistant, Coastal and East Texas Area, Office of Compliance and Enforcement, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
- Shelley Fudge, Environmental Justice and Tribal Coordinator, Toxic Release Inventory Program, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Registration is required. Registered participants will receive details on how to access the webinar closer to the date of the session.
