What are we breathing? Ask pDR-1000

In the Philippines, Ipat Luna worked with school groups in Lipa City to test air quality near piles of burning garbage in school neighborhoods. Instant readings showed high levels of particulate matter, which leads to respiratory diseases and other problems.

pDR-1000 Air MonitorWhen the air smells bad and the nearby factory is pumping out smoke, citizens ask: Is this dangerous to our health?  ELAW scientists are helping partners around the world find out.

Are Environmental Lawyers Cool?

Terms:

During a group discussion on media and communications at the ELAW Annual Meeting, Diana McCaulay, the unstoppable CEO of Jamaica Environment Trust, lamented that she’s not considered “cool” in Jamaica. She explained that she has a hard time garnering interest in her work to protect coastal areas and reefs from the impacts of sprawling resort development -- perhaps, she wondered aloud, it is because she’s not cool.

ELAW Volunteers

Terms:

Since January 1, 2007, more than 50 people have contributed thousands of hours to ELAW to help our partners protect water, air, ecosystems, human rights, and the climate.

My professional interest is in the health effects of chemical exposures. Translating that knowledge into health protection takes the teeth of law. I am impressed with ELAW’s work to create those teeth around the world, and delighted that I can contribute.
