Dear Paov,
Next Friday, we’ll be hosting a webinar discussion with Dr. Bruce Lanphear to highlight the research behind his recently released video, “Little Things Matter: The Impact of Toxins on the Developing Brain.” Please join us!
Dr. Lamphear is an expert on children’s environmental health from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. His current research focuses on how pesticides and other chemicals — even at very low levels — can derail development of a child’s nervous system and brain.
RSVP today » Dont’ miss this opportunity to hear directly from a top children’s health researcher. Sign up today, and mark your calendars for Friday, January 23 at 10:00am PT. Space is limited — register now!
Public health experts tell us we have a “silent pandemic” of learning disabilities and disorders, with dramatic increases in learning and developmental disabilities over the past 15 years. Of particular concern are organophosphate pesticides like chlorpyrifos, with mounting scientific evidence linking in utero and early childhood exposure to nervous system harms that can last a lifetime.
Dr. Lanphear has dedicated his career to understanding and preventing disease in children. In this webinar, he’ll focus in on what science tells us about the role pesticides like chlorpyrifos play. PAN’s Policy Director, Kristin Schafer, will also provide a brief update on the latest policies & regulations affecting chlorpyrifos.
Register now to learn about:
- how children are exposed to pesticides
- what we know about the biggest offenders
- why current regulations fall short of protecting children from pesticides
Thank you for your continued commitment to protecting children from harmful pesticides!
P.S. Stay tuned for more webinars like this one from PAN!
