CUMULATIVE IMPACTS AND CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH | 2013 Symposium MORE INFO:  http://circle.berkeley.edu/kidsCimpacts.html RELATED PLAYLIST: 2012 Symposium http://www.youtube.com/course?list=ECBFF2D8E138A22D23 A major limitation of current studies is that they mostly look for a limited set of chemicals that are already known to cause health effects.  UCSF is developing new methods in analytic chemistry that can detect and identify some kinds of previously "unknown" contaminants in human biospecimens like blood.  These include "time of flight" methods by Dr.  Roy Gerona http://profiles.ucsf.edu/roy.gerona They will be applied to prenatal exposures. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS takes into account the total burden of environmental contaminants and social stressors that affect individuals and communities.  Methods that can identify and analyze all of the environmental factors and social stressors are important to fully assess cumulative impacts.   SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZERS *Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment http://oehha.ca.gov/index.html ...
