On April 9th, Megumi Matsushita, a trainee on UW SRP Project Two advised by Dr. Zhengui Xia, was the featured speaker for the monthly meeting of Washington's chapter of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment (CHE-WA).
Recently the University of Washington Superfund Research Program helped develop an eLearning Module for health professionals titled “Pediatric Lead Exposure: Diagnosis, Management and Prevention” which can be taken for continuing education credit. The module was created in partnership with the Northwest Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Units and the Panhandle Health District to raise awareness about risks associated with lead exposure and to promote lead medical surveillance in the Bunker Hill Superfund Site area, within Idaho’s Coeur d’Alene River Basin.
