SUMMARY:Webinar: Environmental Health Literacy and Agricultural Exposures: Where Ag Safety and Cancer Prevention Meet
DESCRIPTION:Summary: There is growing concern over the role of environmental and occupational exposures in rising cancer rates in Iowa and across the country. People employed in agriculture and related industries in rural areas may face unique environmental and occupational exposures\, besides genetic and behavioral risk factors\, that can cause cancer. \nRural barriers to accessing healthcare may compound the effects of environmental and occupational exposures in these settings. Understandable and actionable risk communications can help address existing rural cancer disparities. In this presentation\, the presenters will provide tips on how to integrate evidence-based environmental health and cancer prevention information into rural and agricultural work. Participants will learn how to better communicate risk\, answer questions\, and strengthen environmental health literacy in their communities. \nIntended Audience: Individuals with an interest in rural and agricultural communities are encouraged to attend. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to…​ \n\nDefine environmental health literacy and its role in community health promotion and advocacy.\nIdentify evidence-based resources on environmental factors that can increase cancer risk in an agricultural setting and apply them to your own health and safety education materials.\nFind the overlap in goals and communication strategies between cancer control and agricultural safety and health professionals.\n\nMeet the Presenters: \n– Caroline Powell\, BA\, MS\, Candidate University of Iowa\, Environmental Outreach Coordinator\, Iowa Cancer Consortium \n– Audrey E. Tran Lam\, MPH\, Environmental Health Program Director\, UNI Center for Energy and Environmental Education \n\n Register  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

SUMMARY:Agricultural Dust and Your Health
DESCRIPTION:Summary: This presentation will provide an overview of agricultural dusts\, including their common sources and how both short-term and long-term dust exposure can impact respiratory health and contribute to broader health risks like cardiovascular disease. Practical strategies to reduce exposure and negative health consequences will be explored. The session will also highlight how lifestyle factors like smoking\, alcohol use\, and diet can influence the body’s response to dust exposure. Overall\, it aims to equip agricultural workers with knowledge and tools to better protect their health. \nIntended audience: Agricultural workers and farm operators\, livestock and crop producers\, Cooperative Extension Educators and Agricultural Advisors\, Healthcare providers\, and public health professionals \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n Identify the common sources and components of agricultural dusts in farm environments. \n Describe the short-term and long-term health effects associated with agricultural dust exposure. \n Recognize tasks and conditions that increase the risk of harmful dust exposure. \n Apply appropriate personal protective strategies. \n Explain how lifestyle factors such as smoking\, alcohol use\, and diet can influence susceptibility to dust-related health effects. \n  \n Register
