Mark your calendars! This Wednesday, Prof. Miriam Diamond (from Physical Geography) will be giving a lunch-time presentation on, "Contaminants around Us: the Toronto Experience". Her presentation is the first in a seminar series hosted by the Centre for Urban Health Initiatives (CUHI). It will be a great opportunity to learn more about her research, and to network with some of your profs outside of the classroom (always good for the resume). Details are stated below. Date: Wednesday, December 1st Time: 12:10 - 1pm Location: Rm.255 UC the room on the second floor, East Side (facing Hart House) Also: Bring your lunch if you'd like Summary: By virtue of their large populations and multitude of activities that take place within a restricted geographic area, cities are home to relatively high contaminant emissions and concentrations in virtually all media. The built environment tends to increase the mobility of contaminants and can result in increased exposures. We will contrast two contaminant classes in terms of their emission sources and hence exposure pathways and potential health risk to typical urban Torontians.
