The EU’s proposed 2040 climate target to reduce domestic emissions by 90% - while allowing up to 3% to be met through international carbon credits – risks undermining health protections. The Health and Environment Alliance calls on member states to strengthen their climate commitments in order to protect health, rather than delay and weaken overdue action.
The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) is organising a new series of webinars dedicated to the health and environmental impacts of chlorpyrifos, a pesticide widely used across Europe.
Residues of chlorpyrifos are regularly found in our food. These webinars have been made especially to equip environmental and public health advocates in their efforts to make EU decision-makers aware of the harmful impacts of the continued use of this pesticide in farming practices and ensure it is not re-authorised.
In this first webinar, Dr. Katherine Pelch from TEDX (The Endocrine Disruption Exchange) will present her recent publication, “Environmental Chemicals and Autism: A Scoping Review of the Human and Animal Research”, a review of all scientific literature currently available about the association between the development of autism and early life exposure to chlorpyrifos (among other environmental chemicals).
Join us for the first edition in our exciting new series of webinars!
Webinar #1: Urgent evaluation of links between chlorpyrifos and autism development needed. Tuesday 14 May, 16:00 – 16.45 CET. Registration: https://ivonneleenen.typeform.com/to/c8a9hA
