*Speakers:* Saurav Lamichhane, Ariana Chiapella, Bindu Panikkar, University
of Vermont
*Description: *Exposure to contaminants in fish, such as mercury and
persistent organic pollutants, have wide-ranging adverse health effects.
Immigrant and refugee communities often have less knowledge of these risks
due to a lack of appropriate education and outreach, and may be at greater
risk of exposure to contaminants in fish, especially if they practice
subsistence fishing. This talk reports speakers' survey and focus group
results on the local fishing and fish-eating behavior and subsequent
contaminant exposure risk among residents in Burlington, Vermont.
Hope to see you there!
