Did you know that Oregon has some of the highest asthma rates in children for the entire U.S.? And has experienced some of the worst air quality in the world in the past few years?
In this episode of the Public Health Insider webcast, join College of Public Health and Human Sciences faculty members Molly Kile, Megan MacDonald and Perry Hystad as they discuss the top environmental risks that affect children (and adults!), the health outcomes associated with exposure and how the college’s new ASPᶟIRE Center is working to reverse the trends.
You may be surprised where the most prominent environmental risks originate from, how they can also affect you and what steps you can take to improve the outcomes for everyone in your household where you live, work and play.

Gain Knowledge From Public Health and Human Sciences Experts
Public health is affected by shifts in policy, social and environmental influences, technology and much more. As a global health crisis illustrates, gaps and inequities of any size in these systems can have devastating effects for health workers, the economy, particularly impacting communities with historic and systemic health disparities.
As Oregon’s first accredited College of Public Health and Human Sciences, our students and alumni have long been working toward answers to the challenges of lifelong health in their communities. Get an insider look at the impacts of public health with a webcast series hosted by some of Oregon State’s public health experts.
These virtual events are hosted by the OSU Alumni Association and OSU Foundation in collaboration with the OSU College of Public Health and Human Sciences.
