👏 On behalf of everyone at the EJRL, we want to congratulate Arbor on her new role as an assistant professor in the Division of Epidemiology at The Ohio State University!!! We wish you all the best (don’t be a stranger😉)

LA is home to 17 of the country's most polluted sites. Environmental epidemiologist Elizabeth Kamai, PhD, was interviewed by Spectrum News 1 SoCal explaining the long-lasting effects of contamination.

Got to show off my messy workspace at the @EJRL_USC and chat about living near toxic sites in Southern California. Key message: the most effective way to reduce our exposure to harmful pollutants is to remove them at the source!

🗞️ NEW ARTICLE “In CA, climate change and competing water demands are intensifying the desiccation of the Salton Sea, a large land-locked “sea” situated near the southeastern rural US-Mexico border region known as the Imperial Valley.” sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🔎 The Salton Sea is rapidly drying, exposing more lakebed & increasing wind-blown dust in nearby communities. This dust contains harmful particles like toxic metals, leading to public health concerns especially for children in the area.#SaltonSea #EnvironmentalJustice #CCVHealth

Comite Civico Population and Public Health Sciences at USC New findings show a 9.5 percentage point increase in wheezing among children living near Salton Sea for every additional 100 hours of dust event. Dust from exposed lakebeds is becoming a serious health risk in rural communities #AsthmaAwareness #AirQuality #SaltonSea #CCVhealth

Let’s clear the air for our kids: Keck School of Medicine of USC finds that fine particle air pollution could affect children’s learning and memory. 🧠 today.usc.edu/exposure-to-ce…

Comite Civico Population and Public Health Sciences at USC @EJRL_USC Children who exhibit wheezing symptoms had a 6.7% increase in nighttime sleep disturbances. Interrupted sleep in children can lead to decreased brain development, learning problems, and negative emotions. #EnvironmentalJustice #Childrenshealth #CCVhealth
