Workshop Summary

Workshop leaders explained basic strategies to investigate connections between toxic contamination and human health. They demonstrated how local data can further the case for clean-up. Using principals taught in the workshop participants examined actual data from a case of toxic contamination of water to demonstrate connections between the pollution and human health. We then shifted the focus to examine how to communicate environmental health data in a sexy, easy to understand manner.
