Take My Breath Away: Air Quality and the Environment
Ozone, cement batch plants, Shingle Mountain – all are headline topics about air quality in Dallas. The quality of air that we breathe and, consequently, our health depends on the neighborhoods where we live, especially for children. Exposure to particulate matter in polluted air can contribute to lung and heart disease. A national leader in urban asthma research, Dr. Barry Lachman will discuss how research results and community involvement can impact policy to improve health disparities in Dallas.
