Webinar: Cancer and Early Life Exposures to Environmental Pollutants

While pediatric cancer is still a rare disease, the rate of new cancers has increased nearly 30% since 1975. In the last decade, a growing body of research associates increased risk of pediatric cancer with environmental exposures in utero and in childhood. Recent science also points to a role for early life exposures in priming […]

Making the Connection: Manganese Exposure and Children’s IQ

Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC 300 Halket St, Pittsburgh, PA, United States

Manganese is an essential additive in the steel making process, with as much as 90% of manganese consumption worldwide being used by the steel industry alone. Throughout this process stray manganese particles escape into the air. These particles are related to a variety of adverse health effects, and are especially harmful to the central nervous […]
