SUMMARY:Youth & Families Child Health Champion Training
DESCRIPTION:Children’s Environmental Health Network\, Moms Clean Air Force\, and Environmental Defense Fund are partnering to add one more Child Health Champion Training to our line-up this summer! \nJoin them Tuesday\, August 12 for this free 90-minute virtual advocacy training. This workshop is designed especially for youth and families\, but will help advocates across all sectors build power\, tell their stories\, and take meaningful action together. \nIn the face of protective policy rollbacks\, cuts to critical programs and workforce\, and growing public health threats\,  it’s more important than ever to build grassroots advocacy capacity\, center community and youth stories\, and uplift a unified\, hopeful children’s environmental health movement.

SUMMARY:Breathing Easier: Protecting Children With Asthma From Wildfire Smoke
DESCRIPTION:Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting an estimated 26.8 million people in the United States\, including 4.5 million children. Children are particularly susceptible to wildfire smoke for several reasons: their respiratory systems are still developing; they breathe more air (and air pollution) per pound of body weight than adults; and they’re more likely to be active outdoors. \nThis webinar will explore the intersection of wildfire smoke exposure and childhood asthma. Expert speakers\, drawn from EPA’s National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management winners and wildfire smoke grant program recipients\, will share best practices\, community-engagement strategies\, and innovative approaches to integrating wildfire smoke readiness into asthma control efforts\, protecting children’s respiratory health during wildfire smoke events and improving asthma health outcomes.

SUMMARY:Microplastics
DESCRIPTION:The ubiquity of microplastics in the environment is an emerging concern. These small plastics (<5 mm) along with associated contaminants may be consumed by organisms including humans and have been found in every environment on Earth. There are numerous data gaps about the potential effects of microplastics on human health and ecological systems. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of microplastics\, the challenges of microplastic science\, and the research conducted at EPA helping to fill the data gaps\, including understanding fate and transport\, identifying toxicity\, and advancing sampling and analytical methods. The webinar will also cover the Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) microplastics resources\, including the Microplastics Outreach Toolkit. \nThe August 20th webinar will feature Cheryl Hankins\, EPA ORD and Valerie Mitchell Hanley\, CA DTSC/ITRC

SUMMARY:The Exposome in Children’s Health: Environment\, Development and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Konstantinos C. Makris is a full professor of environmental health and supervises the Water and Health laboratory at the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health. He was an adjunct assistant professor of environmental health in the Department of Environmental Health\, Harvard University (2009-2015). His research team aims to reduce population health risks attributed to environmental contaminants found in drinking water and other environmental media. His team utilizes exposomic tools in population studies across Cyprus\, Greece\, France\, Kuwait\, the Netherlands\, and Norway. He leads the CHILDREN_FIRST  study focused on understanding the temporal evolution of the human exposome as it shapes children’s growth and development. \nHis laboratory has successfully received external funding of from the EU\, the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation\, NIEHS and Harvard University. He was one of two researchers who conducted the brain cancer cluster investigation around the Astrasol plant emitting dichloromethane in Cyprus. He was invited by the Environment and Health Committee of the Cyprus Parliament to provide technical evidence on the health consequences of the surrounding populations following the tragedy / explosion in Mari\, Cyprus and has also served as a member of the scientific advisory committee to the Ministry of Health about arsenic exposures in Cyprus. He is also a member of the European Council of ISEE.
