Mammilian Cell Based Biosensor For Physiological Effects Of Toxins
After visiting the Yurok Tribe, it became clear that to have a real positive impact regarding their problems with pollution and health, it would be necessary to draw a clear narrative between sources of pollution, a specific toxin in the environment, a high quality field test, a causal effect on human health, and a specific policy change. Polluters –> Environment (Field Test) –> Human Disease –> Policy Change –| Polluters For best outcomes, every link in this chain needs to be well documented and backed by substantial evidence/data. It needs to be clear which organizations are responsible for introducing which toxins into the environment, that they are present in meaningful concentrations in the environment, that these toxins have a known causal effect on human disease, and what set of policy changes can help improve public health.
