Secretary of the Board
Association for Women in Science
The May meeting of the Seattle area chapter of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) will feature Health Effects of Indoor Air Quality presented by Jane Koening, PhD, Professor of Environmental Health in the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at the UW on Tuesday, at 7:30 p.m. at the NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center Auditorium, 2725 Montlake Blvd. East, Seattle (entrance is on East Hamlin Street; parking is free and is located behind the building). There will be a reception from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the same location. Indoor air pollution is a public health concern both for individuals who spend a good deal of time at home and for those who encounter indoor air quality problems in the work place. The primary pollutants, their health effects and methods for reducing exposure will be discussed. Asthma will be highlighted as a disease in which individuals may be most at risk from indoor air pollutants.
The meeting is free and open to all members of the public. For more information contact Sally Fitts at (206) 522-5969 or Helen Powell at (206) 616-6931. Additional information about this and other AWIS activities can be found on our Web site: http://www.scn.org/tech/awis.
