What health risks lurk in U.S. tap water? Our expert panel will explore what’s changed since the water crisis in Flint, Mich., 10 years ago and what still needs to be done to protect U.S. consumers from potentially unsafe levels of lead, arsenic, PFAS chemicals, and other pollutants. We’ll also look at how policy change, community activism, and monitoring can improve water quality, particularly for the marginalized and low-income communities that are most likely to have hidden toxins in their drinking water.
The air we breathe has a direct impact on our brain. Mounting evidence links air pollution exposure to increased risk for cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Poor air quality — both indoors and outdoors — also profoundly impacts our mental health, increasing risk for anxiety and depression. With the World Health Organization estimating that 99% of the global population is exposed to unhealthy levels of tiny and harmful air pollutants, what can be done to improve air quality and brain health? Our expert panel will break down the latest findings and provide recommendations on policy changes for cleaner air.
