This webinar will review the science relevant to understanding risks to human health from exposure to wood biomass emissions, describe results of policy research, and summarize policy and programmatic recommendations for how to protect public health in the context of the proliferation of wood biomass combustion.
The Lowell Center for Sustainable Production at the University of Massachusetts launched the Northeast Initiative on ICI biomass and health in 2010. Polly Hoppin and Molly Jacobs have led the initiative, working in collaboration with academic, agency and non-governmental organization partners.
