EOH Newsletter: EOH Researchers Illuminate Health Impacts of Pollutants, Climate Change Adaptation, and Much More

In October 2015, publications by EOH professors and staff included attention-getting research revealing how pollutants may impact cellular aging and what inspires cities to adapt to climate change.  The EOH Chair was inducted into a prestigious society in honor of achievements in advancing occupational and environmental health.  A professor’s work helped inspire a popular fast-food restaurant to change its policies.  A student earned a trip to an international conference.  Faculty, students and staff also had numerous publications and gave presentations on links between pesticide exposure and body mass, how working in a meatpacking operation affects mental health, and the impacts of public toilets in the developing world.  See the October Department of Environmental and Occupational Health newsletter for details and more, including why chicken may not be a guilt-free alternative to red meat.
