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.

The NEWBio Webinar Series is hosted by Mike Jacobson, Penn State University and eXtension Farm Energy and held (usually) on the second Tuesday of each month at 1PM Eastern time, 12 CT, 11 MT, 10 PT. These online, hour-long presentations are free to the public, and feature important topics related to bioenergy in the northeast.

Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
