Canadian Women's Health Network (CWHN) presents 

 

Gender-bending Pollution & Environmental Justice: The Way We Talk About
Endocrine Disruption

Dayna Nadine Scott, co-director of the National Network on Environments
and Women's Health, will discuss the environmental health effects of
long-term, low-dose exposure to pollutants, with a focus on the

Canada will share their work, and CWHN's new Executive Director will
host.
