National Grand Rounds - December 2020

Changing Toxicity of PM2.5 in a Period of Declining Concentrations: Examples from New York and California

Presenter: Dr. Philip Hopke, PhD, Adjunct Professor, Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry

Learning Objectives:

• How are particle sizes in the environment defined and what is the role of size in deposition in the respiratory tract?
• How did regulatory policies and economic drivers change ambient particulate concentrations and compositions?
• How could changing particle compositions result in increased rates of adverse health outcomes per unit mass of exposure?

Series Moderator: Nicholas E. Nacca, MD, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY

About The Series: ACMT's Grand Rounds offer an in-depth and interactive platform for learning and discussion about issues that impact the research and practice of medical toxicology. Experts from within and outside medical toxicology will share their knowledge and experience and highlight areas for collaboration and mutual understanding.

This webinar is for ACMT members only.
