Clean G & Kids Environment and Health
Season 6, Ep. 8
•
What environment do you like to listen to us in? We hope you haven’t got kids around, there’s an explicit warning for a reason! Although maybe this week, you should at least keep them in mind.
We’re joined by Pia Hardelid, a Professor of Epidemiology at the University College London. Pia is leading a project called the Kids’ Environment and Health Cohort which is setting up a new national data resource for research into how the local environment affects children’s health as they grow up in England. She’s going to help us answer the question: how can we understand the relationship between children’s health and the environments they grow up in? Join us to find out more.
Cheers!
