Many of us understand that air pollution is detrimental to our health but understanding exactly how and what to do about it can be harder to tackle. We're bringing together a panel of public health experts to discuss the intersection of air quality and public health and address your questions. Join us for dinner, meet other people interested in the environment, and come away with a deeper understanding of the how air quality affects public health.

The free event will be open to GASP members, Cancer Bridges members, and the general public, including university students. Our discussion will dive into the panelists' work and explore different ways to protect yourself from poor air quality, especially if you belong to a sensitive population, and how air quality impacts different aspects of health at all ages.
