About the Seminar: During this seminar, Dr. Fleisch will describe her research examining the health impact of prenatal exposure to air pollution. She will describe studies nested within two pre-birth cohorts: the Boston-based Project Viva cohort and the New Hampshire Birth Cohort Study. The studies examine the impact of exposure to air pollution from outdoor sources (ie, traffic) and indoor sources (i.e., wood stoves) on maternal and child cardiometabolic health.
