Description

Mothers & Others For Clean Air's mission is to protect children’s health by reducing the impactsof air pollution and climate change throughout the Southeast. As their research intern, I have been developing an online webtool helping regular people identify sources of indoor airpollution. Did you know that nonstick pans can release chemicals called PFOAs, known to cause cancer in most animals? The Healthy Indoor Breathing Toolkit teaches this and more. I will speak about my experience assembling the tool’s research and how I tested my final product by traveling to local stores and seeing if I could shop smarter.
