EPA Director Scott Pruitt's proposed repealing of the Clean Power Plan will put clean air and children's health in jeopardy says air pollution expert and CHE investigator, Dr. Laura Van Winkle, in a letter to the Sacramento Bee.
CHE graduate student Sarah Carratt and Director Kent Pinkerton were interviewed by CBS Sacramento Channel 13 about the health affects of inhaling wildfire smoke, which can contain complicated mixtures of toxic compounds, such as pesticide residues.
CHE intern Delaney Buskard, a high school senior from New York, was featured at the International Conference of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) in May for her research on inhaled nanoparticles.
A new study by CHE indicates that Sacramento air pollution enhances allergic lung response, as seen in asthma, through an increase in oxidative stress.
