Full course description
Description
This training explores the connections between climate change, air pollution, and the increasing risks of lung diseases. It highlights how changes in environmental factors influence air pollution distribution, the importance of specific nutrients for lung health, and methods used to measure exposure in research. The training also addresses the populations most vulnerable to the effects of air pollution.
Target Audience
This training is suitable for environmental health researchers, healthcare providers, public health officials, and policymakers focusing on climate change and respiratory health.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this training, participants will be able to:
- Explain how climate change affects the distribution of air pollutants.
- Identify the role of nutrients like polyunsaturated fatty acids in maintaining lung health.
- Understand the methods used to estimate daily exposure to air pollution in health studies.
- Discuss the impact of air pollution on vulnerable populations, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood.
