Rutgers Center for Environmental Exposures and Disease
Virtual Seminar Series, Fall 2020
CoVID-19 is Fundamentally an Environmental and Occupational Disease
September 23, 2020 – 10:00 AM
This opening session will set the tone for the webinar series, which will focus on the environmental and occupational health and justice aspects of the pandemic. The series will include voices from the front lines and everyday people affected by the pandemic, as well as scientists and public health professionals. The first session will be centered on the experiences of vulnerable workers, cover preliminary findings from our large Rutgers study of healthcare workers, and address the current state of protections for exposed workers, all through an equity and justice lens.
