Rappold, A. Wildfire smoke, health, and environmental justices. University of Miami Symposium on Climate & Health, MIami, FL, May 06, 2022.
Impact/Purpose:
Dr Rappold will present at the symposium on the intersection of climate, health, and environmental justice. Climate change related extreme weather poses a threat to public health across the globe. This threat is exacerbated within vulnerable communities, including socioeconomically disadvantaged- and minority-communities. The University of Miami will bring researchers, clinicians, community leaders, managers and policy-makers to discuss direct and indirect threats posed by extreme weather, such as hurricanes, heat waves or excess heat stress, droughts and floods, and their persistence over time. We invite scholarly assessments of the direct and indirect health impacts of extreme weather, and strategies for mitigation and management.
