Monthly PBB Partner Meeting on April 8

Written By Edward Lorenz

Each month we have a phone or zoom meeting of members of the group continuing responses to the human health consequences of the PBB exposures in the 1970s. The meetings include the research team at Emory University, staff from the regional health department in Mid-Michigan, representatives of farm families exposed in the 1970s, and representatives from the Pine River Superfund Task Force.
