9:00 AM
90 MINUTE SESSION
Learning objectives
- Understand how genetic susceptibility interacts with airborne occupational and environmental exposures to influence risk and outcomes for respiratory disease, including lung cancer and COPD.
- Examine current epidemiological and mechanistic evidence linking indoor and outdoor air quality with chronic airway disorders.
- Explore how exposure science and real-world surveillance are driving change in how we detect, regulate and prevent silica-related lung disease.
