Let Your Voice Be Heard!

In addition to the PSR presentation, the Northwest District Association will host an expert panel to discuss air pollution problems in their neighborhood, and current and model policy initiatives to address these problems. The panel consists of Environmental Health and Safety Professor Tony Uliano, PSU and Bob Amundson, a plant physiologist, NW resident and co-founder of Oregon Toxics Alliance.

 

The event will give Portlanders the information they need to make informed decisions in sometimes puzzling circumstances. For instance, it’s a fine summer morning and the day of your child’s big soccer tournament. You turn on the news and find out that the Air Quality Index shows it is “unhealthy for sensitive populations.” Is your child safe? Should you keep her at home? Should you call the coach to warn the team? Should Grandma go out to watch? As a parent, a Portland resident, a patient or a health care professional, “A Breathable Future” will provide the information you need to make decisions like this. There are also plenty of resources to take home or look up online afterward.
