Happy to share our look at the arguments for and against manure biodigesters and the evidence that supports them (or doesn't).
How do manure digesters impact our rural communities? Check out our latest research, "Deconstructing the Livestock Manure Digester and Biogas Controversy" in Current Environmental Health Reports! clf.jhsph.edu/about-us/new...

Recent research in “Cancer Alley” shows that risks from air pollution in the region have been seriously underestimated.

@petedecarlo.bsky.social and @keevenachman.bsky.social discuss the impacts of compounding chemical exposure on human health.

Proud to share this video about our work in Cancer Alley, Louisiana
When #JohnsHopkins scientists drove their air testing van to #CancerAlley they didn’t have a lot of pre-existing studies to compare to. And the #petrochemicalindustry self-reports to the EPA. What they found astonished them. What does it mean for the people there? Go to bit.ly/3STi1AP to learn more.

Really happy to share our new paper on advancing approaches to cumulative risk assessment for non-cancer health outcomes (with @petedecarlo.bsky.social and many, many others)! We apply the new method via the HAP-MAP study in Southern Delaware County, PA: doi.org/10.1289/EHP1...

Amazing work led by @nickchartres.bsky.social !

So honored and excited to be a part of the team that published this framework!
👇Once established that a #chemical harms human #health the 1st step in using our framework designed for regulatory agencies, like U.S EPA is to determine if it is 'essential' - if not, then prohibit its use immediately.
NEW: Our new Evidence-to-Decision Framework for Environmental Health is out! This tool is designed to help govt make better decisions to protect people's health, especially for communities highly impacted by toxics and pollutants.
