Our Guest Speaker
Dr. Jeffrey R. Brook
His Topic: Air Pollution and Health
From Dr. Brook's Bio on the U of T website: Dr. Jeffrey R. Brook, B.S., Dip. Met., M.S., Ph.D., is a senior scientist at Environment Canada in Toronto, Ontario, and adjunct professors in the Depts. of Public Health Sciences and Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto. Dr. Brook is an Associate Editor for the Journal of the Air&Waste Management Association and on the editorial board of the Journal Atmospheric and Air Quality Research. He currently serves on the research management committee for AllerGen, which is a Canadian National Centre of Excellence focusing on asthma, allergy, genes and the environment.
Dr. Brook began his career as a meteorologist before undertaking graduate work at The University of Michigan. Dr. Brook conducts original research in air pollutant deposition and urban/regional air quality, emphasizing fine particulate matter, ambient measurement, and exposure assessment in support of a wide range of health-effect study designs. This latter research involves the interface between air pollutant characterization, with source-receptor analysis, and toxicological, clinical and both retrospective and prospective epidemiological studies.
St. Paddy's Day is a day when a lot of people tend to go out and get polluted.
We'll be learning about pollution and how to deal with it and we'll be much healthier for it!
As usual we will be fundraising by selling our 50/50 tickets and our MPFN Magic Bean Soup.
MPFN Memberships are Family $45, Single $25, Under 30 FREE
You can also bring along any used nature books you'd like to donate to our Great Nature Book Sale. Books donated will be resold for what the buyer thinks they're worth.
Don't forget to Lug-A-Mug for refreshments after the meeting.
