From Anthony Mancuso
C. Arden Pope, III, the Mary Lou Fulton Professor of Economics at Brigham Young University, presented this lecture to the faculty, students and guests on Tuesday, May 1, 2018.
Speaker Bio: C. Arden Pope, III is the Mary Lou Fulton Professor of Economics at Brigham Young University. He has a Ph.D. from Iowa State University, was a Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health and an Honorary Fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians. He has conducted or collaborated on key studies of the health effect of air pollution for nearly 30 years.
Talk Abstract: Almost unbelievably, it is estimated that air pollution is the fifth largest risk factor contributing to global burden of disease. Breathing fine particulate air pollution contributes to cardiopulmonary disease and mortality. Short-term exposure exacerbates existing cardiovascular and pulmonary disease and increases the risk of becoming symptomatic, requiring medial attention or even dying. Long-term repeated exposure increase the risk of chronic pulmonary and cardiovascular disease. Recent research has attempted to evaluate potential mechanistic pathways that link exposure to particulate air pollution and cardiopulmonary disease and mortality. This presentation will address the top ten scientific and public policy controversies related to evidence regarding the health effects of fine particulate matter air pollution.
The morning of Wednesday 8 January, we updated the look and feel of Kaltura videos by moving from Player 2 to Player 7. The new player has a cleaner look, some improvements to controls, and a new transcript viewer. Also thanks to the upgrade we can now allow owners and co-editors of videos with two feeds to download *both* recordings from the mediaspace website.
As of the upgrade and going forward all videos play on mediaspace in the new player. Also since the upgrade any video you embed in Canvas or elsewhere, with the built-in tools in Canvas or the embed code from mediaspace, will play with the new player. However, any videos embedded anywhere before the update will continue to play in Player 2.
To take advantage of the new player, and use a fully-supported player, we urge you to re-embed videos in Canvas or elsewhere, retracing the steps you took the first time.
