Today, PSR is joining with dozens of organizations, representing millions of Americans, calling on the U.S. Senate to pass clean energy and climate legislation. Please tell your Senators that we can no longer delay action if we are to protect our health and the health of future generations from catastrophic climate change.
GBPSR has been a medical community leader in addressing environmental health, beginning with a groundbreaking Human Health and Environment conference organized by Dr. Eric Chivian conducted at MIT in 1992 and attended by over 700. Since then GBPSR has been effectively working to educate the medical community, policy makers and the public about the health consequences of a range of environmental factors. Our seminal research reports, Generations at Risk: Reproductive Health and the Environment (1996, and MIT Press, 1999), In Harm's Way: Toxic Threats to Child Development (2000), and most recently Environmental Threats to Healthy Aging (GBPSR 2008) have provided the scientific groundwork for advocacy campaigns to protect health, and have helped change public policies as well as clinical practice.
We have educated over 10,000 health professionals through our "Out of Harm's Way" education courses. We have continued to break new ground by developing clinical tools on environment and health, such as our Pediatric Environmental Health Toolkit, endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, featured in a five-state training program, and now available as an online CME course developed in conjunction with the US Centers for Disease Control's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
