HealthFirstPA will host an October 20 webinar on Methane Pollution - What Health Experts Say About Climate Change and Public Health from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
As the Department of Environment Protection and leaders in Harrisburg work on rules to reduce methane pollution and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) it is more important than ever to have a full understanding of the public health impacts of what is actually being released into the environment and the health consequences for all, especially our most vulnerable citizens: the elderly, children and pregnant woman.
The program will include a panel discussion by--
-- Dr. Ned Ketyer, M.D., F.A.A.P AHN - Pediatrics, Consultant, SWPA Environmental Health Project
-- Dr. Pouné Saberi, M.D., MPH - President, Physicians for Social Responsibility PA
-- Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, M.D., MSc - Director of Global Public Health Program & Global Observatory on Pollution & Health at Boston College
