In this webinar we were pleased to have special guest speaker Samuel Goldman, MD, MPH, Professor in the Division of Occupational, Environmental, and Climate Medicine at the University of California San Francisco and author of Risk of Parkinson Disease Among Service Members at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. His presentation discussed the link to Parkinson’s Disease resulting from chlorinated solvent exposure on a large US Marine Base. He was joined by Ryan Miller, Director of Land Science, who will discuss leading remediation and vapor mitigation technologies to protect against TCE exposure risk.
