EaRTH supported Dimitri Abrahamsson’s K99 applications to employ non-target analysis to study novel chemical exposures in pregnant women. Communications support from EaRTH's TRSC developed messages, drafted the press release and worked with UCSF to promote the paper, and did media training to promote his research findings, which included detecting 55 chemicals never before reported in people and 42 “mystery chemicals” from unknown sources. We collaborated with our partner, Collaborative on Health & Environment, on a seminar to share the scientific findings and with our collaborative program, PRHE, on a blog.
