[TRBHealth] Transportation emissions and health curriculum - FYI and looking for contributors

Dear friends and colleagues, Happy New Year and I hope you had a good break. I wanted to share with you a new curriculum we developed at CARTEEH around traffic-related air pollution and human health. See this link for the open access slides which you can use as you please: https://www.carteeh.org/education/carteeh-curriculum-for-transportation-emi… and the attached document for a brief description. I hope you find this useful. I am also looking for contributors to develop slides on the below topics (or recycle existing slides from your teaching or presentations/ collaborate with me to develop the slide decks). This is an opportunity to contribute to this unique cross-disciplinary effort and we will be disseminating the course widely in addition to teaching it at our institutes and making it open access for anyone to use. Your contribution would be highly appreciated, and we are able to pay American authors an honorarium for their effort. I look forward to working with you if any of these topics interest you or fall within your expertise. Thanks, and best wishes, Haneen Khreis (h-khreis(a)tti.tamu.edu). * Vehicle emission standards and underlying evidence base * History of key laws and regulations and quantifiable impacts * Environmental justice * Photochemical modeling methods and data sources * Personal monitoring in exposure assessment and the contribution of traffic * Source apportionment and micro-environmental exposures * Observational analytical epidemiological studies * Experimental studies * Transferability of toxicological evidence and human relevance * Biomarkers including OMICS (genomics, proteomics, or metabolomics) of health effects associated with traffic-related air pollution * Sensitive subpopulations (children, the elderly, the ill, and lower socioeconomic classes) and differential health effects in sensitive subpopulations * Differential burden of disease of traffic-related air pollution in sensitive sub-populations * Policies to mitigate traffic-related emissions * Policies to mitigate traffic-related air pollution * Policies to mitigate traffic-related air pollution exposures * Overlap with sustainable transportation and built environment policies * Barriers and facilitators * Co-benefits * Market solutions
