Ever wonder what’s in the air you breathe? Laura Paulin, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Section of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Geisel School of Medicine, will join us for the next Dartmouth Energy Collaborative online energy seminar on June 2. In this talk, Dr. Paulin will describe the basic chemical and physical properties of air pollution and review landmark epidemiological studies examining the human health impacts of air pollution. She will explore how several decades of air pollution research has shaped current legislation to mitigate air pollution exposures, and how these standards have impacted current pollutant concentrations. Dr. Paulin will point out the limitations of US ambient air pollution standards, and discuss settings of interest, including rural pollution exposures.
