Health Impacts of Air Pollution

Health Impacts of Air Pollution


Osher Lifelong Learning Institute presents Health Impacts of Air Pollution.

$15 per person

Air pollution is arguably the most important preventable cause of disability and death — responsible for 20% of all deaths due to heart and lung disease and stroke. It’s also responsible for 20% of all cases of Type II diabetes mellitus and contributes to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, pre-term birth, and fetal loss. The health harms of air pollution are now quantifiable and modifiable on both a population level and an individual level.

This session will include these topics: 1.) a definition and causes of air pollution; 2.) an explanation of EPA standards and the clinical relevance of those standards; 3.) the broad spectrum of health harms caused by air pollution and the mechanisms responsible for those harms and the economic costs of those harms; 4.) and the simple measures we can take to protect ourselves and our families from the harms of air pollution.
