Plastics, Chemicals & Reproductive Health: Implications for a changing Arctic

In this CHE Alaska webinar, leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologist Dr. Shanna Swan will join Alaska Community Action on Toxics (ACAT) Executive Director and Senior Scientist, Pamela Miller, to connect the science behind endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), plastics, and fertility to emerging realities in Arctic communities. As climate change reshapes ecosystems, shifts in food systems, and global pollution pathways, Arctic populations face unique and often disproportionate exposures to persistent chemicals.

Together, they'll examine what we know about plastics and reproductive health, how scientific findings featured in the astonishing documentary “The Plastic Detox” translate to Arctic contexts, and what policy changes are needed to protect the health of individuals and communities.
