Excited to be part of an amazing team teaching a course on metals and environmental epidemiology! Join to explore impact of #metals on #PublicHealth and the #environment 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇

“I do not want people to panic, but to be aware that heavy metals have been found in these menstrual products,” Schilling said. #tampons cnn.com/2024/07/11/hea…

Important work! Analysis was done at METALab ColumbiaPublicHealth

So much needed!! A study which shows that we need more testing of #tampons and other #personalcareproducts. Analysis was done by the fabulous METALab team ColumbiaPublicHealth

New work from the Kathrin Schilling, PhD and the Metals lab at ColumbiaPublicHealth working with LDEO scientists Beizhan Yan and Khue Nguyen (and others) on a neglected exposure pathway to metals and other contaminants. Funded in part by Superfund Research via Columbia Northern Plains SRP and Center for Environmental Health and Justice

Looking forward to contributing to the workshop on #metals and #health. Organized by GEOHealth India Hub and Centre for Chronic Disease Control Ashoka University Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

In this new study, we looked at data from the general population but note that certain immigrant communities are likely at an increased risk of exposure to consumer products that contain high levels of lead. Learn more about the study: pureearth.org/study-childhoo…

A new study by Pure Earth and partners reviews lead poisoning cases and the associated exposure sources in 4 U.S. jurisdictions. In 15-38% of cases, consumer products were the identified exposure source. Many of these goods originate abroad. ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/10.1289/EH…

Fun at #Goldschmidt2024! 🌟 The Geohealth session with Mallery Quetawki @METALS_SRP, Kevin Patterson Columbia Northern Plains SRP, and Kathrin Schilling Kathrin Schilling, PhD led to amazing discussions. Thanks to all who joined! 🙌💧 #Geohealth #WaterQuality #IndigenousCommunities

IMPORTANT MEETING! Learn how you can become an intervener and participate in the state process to STOP uranium mining in our beautiful Black Hills. Protect our precious waterways! #NoUraniumMining #protectbhwater #MniWiconi

#NIEHSfunded scientists from Berkeley Public Health discovered metals, including lead, in all tested tampons from 14 brands. Whether metals leach out of tampons and affect health is unknown. bit.ly/4fESAx6 #NIEHSFactor

Thank you to Miana Fey for being an outstanding representative for BHCWA and the Oglala Lakota Nation at Indigenous Environmental Network's 18th Annual “Protecting Mother Earth Conference”. and thank you IEN for inviting us! Read all about it here: bhcleanwateralliance.org/2024/08/29/bhc…

#DYK 86% of the total global consumption of lead goes into lead-acid batteries? Lead-acid batteries are crucial for renewable energy, but in LMICs, many are recycled informally and unsafely, leading to potential #leadexposure. ♻️ 🌎 Read more on the blog: pureearth.org/lead-poisoning…
