Stanford Center for Population Health Sciences presents their next seminar "The Global Burden of Disease-Pollution & Health Initiative" by Dr. Howard Hu, Affiliate Professor, University of Washington School of Public Health.
In this presentation, Dr. Hu will discuss some of the ideas and challenges associated with this initiative, with the parallel aim of stimulating discussion of opportunities that might be of particular interest to Stanford scientists. Among the topics to be covered are examples of GBD pollutants, both existing (air pollution, lead) and proposed (other neurotoxicants, endocrine disruptors, climate change) in terms of the challenges associated with estimating global exposures and grading the evidence for causality.
