The healthier our ecosystems are, the healthier the planet & its people! Restoring our damaged ecosystems will help to end poverty & combat #ClimateChange. This #EarthDay2022, let us collectively work towards a better and greener tomorrow. #EarthDay #LetTheEarthBreath

The U.S. health sector accounts for roughly 8.5% of U.S. carbon emissions. An HHS approach to addressing the health effects of #ClimateChange is working with health systems to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and make them more resilient to the impact of climate change.

What a scary but inspiring day at the #NYUplasticshealth symposium! The global plastics problem has massive health impacts. Our preliminary data suggests a link between microplastics & #prostatecancer. So much work to be done! NYU Langone Health | CIEH Leo Trasande, MD, MPP

A very thought provoking symposium on Plastics and Human Health organized by Leo Trasande, MD, MPP NYU Langone Health | CIEH at NYU Langone Health today. The impact of micro and nanoplastics (& their associated chemicals) on disease pathology is real. We need to carefully think of avenues for mitigation.

Congratulations to Leo Trasande, MD, MPP on the 2025 Plastics, Human Health, and Solutions Symposium. This event featured presentations about the health hazards associated with plastic pollution and the need to deliver solutions to the plastic crisis: bit.ly/2LCRwAr (½)
