Event Description

On Tuesday, September 15th Parsons Healthy Materials Lab will host Dr. Anna Young from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health for a lecture titled Our Global Chemical Experiment: How Healthy Building Strategies Can Reduce Exposures to Chemicals.

Have you ever wondered where Healthy Materials Lab gets its information? On September 15th, get it directly from the source. For years, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has been leading the charge in groundbreaking research about public health. In the upcoming lecture, Dr. Anna Young will discuss her ongoing research and why it matters.

It’s estimated that Americans now spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, and studies show that the spaces in which we spend that time directly affect human health and performance.

 

The lecture will be followed by Q&A session all are welcome to join.
