They're tiny but mighty - I had the pleasure of working with @GarretBland, @TraceyJWoodruff, and @NickZChartres with @UCSF_PRHE to better understand how #microplastics can harm health. Check out the #CalSPEC report and blog below ⬇️

[Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment @UCSF_PRHE]

RELEASED TODAY: New #CalSPEC report reveals #microplastics can harm #fertility, increase #cancer risk in digestive tract, and current natl prevention policies are inadequate.

Assessing ExxonMobil's global warming projections. Apparently, ExxonMobil scientist's internal models were pretty accurate for global warming projections between 1977 - 2003. Exxon knew but it didn't matter. 🤷‍♂️https://t.co/227CvS3zlN

@penggaos @EnvSciTech Thanks, Peng! Yes, hopefully this will improve metal source apportionment of PM sources.

[Garret Bland, PhD @GarretBland]

My final paper from my PhD is now published in a special issue on Data Science in @EnvSciTech Letters! We developed a ML pipeline to apportion metal particles from PM sources. This can help inform policy to monitor and control primary PM emissions. Link: https://t.co/gIblcc2N3o

Happy to announce my 4th (and final) paper from my PhD has been accepted for publication over at EST Letters! Details are coming soon! 🥳🥳

@brueck_chris Good luck! I was in your shoes about a year ago and was super nervous. YOU GOT THIS!!

Are you pregnant, or do you know someone who is? Do they live in the Bay Area or Fresno and surrounding counties? If so, please share this with them. They can help scientists learn how harmful chemicals impact #pregnancy + #childdevelopment + earn up to $210 in gift cards.

@DrSCoffin What about ceramic coatings like Caraway pans? Good alternative?

I don’t understand how this has been normalized. How can football coaches at UC Berkeley make 4 million dollars a year while postdocs and grad students are paid wages below the poverty line? #UCstrike

#EPA excluded ~10 000 “on-topic” studies on the #health harms of #asbestos without any justification. This ultimately may underestimate risk to #vulnerable populations. Read our rebuttal in @EnvSciTech. https://t.co/lRw7G1WcIL

[Nick Chartres, PhD @NickZChartres]

#EPA risk evaluations on #chemicals do not adhere to best practice methods recommended by @theNASEM explains @keeve_nachman in @EHPonline. Therefore their risk is being systematically underestimated leaving the most vulnerable at harm.

👇Our Rapid Review protocol evaluating the evidence on the health effects of #microplastics on @OSFramework by @TraceyJWoodruff @GarretBland @CourtneyC_PH. #plastics production is set to double by 2050, so this work may have important policy implications https://t.co/K6alsassiS

@penggaos Thanks, Peng!

📢My 3rd paper from my PhD is published! 📢

We applied isotope-enrichment to track engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in soil. With this technique, we can perform accurate ENM risk assessment in the environment.

I had a fantastic time over at #ISES2022. It was great to see the current research in the field and making new connections. @ISES4EU @ISExposureSci

Really great talk from @donghai_liang about the metabolome association between air pollution and adverse birth outcomes #ISES2022
