Environmental Health - Air Quality

Breathing is the most natural thing, right? And yet, every day, with every breath, air pollution affects our health. We provide a forum for health and research experts to discuss air pollution and its impacts on our health, and on possible solutions to address this issue. 

Our guests:

• Dr. Scott Weichenthal, Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health at McGill University. 
• Fiona Hanley, Nurse. Course Lecturer at the Ingram School of Nursing at McGill and at Dawson College.
• Claudel Pétrin-Desrosier, Family doctor. President of the Québec chapter of Canadian Association of Physicians for Environment (AQME – CAPE)

Concerned about air quality and its impact on health? Do you have a solution in mind? We invite you to take the floor to share your experiences or your opinion on this subject. Write to us on the Université de la Rue Facebook page with the hashtag #EnvironmentAndHealth. If you want to learn more, visit the Health Canada’s website.
