The second meeting of the autumn season takes place tonight (Monday) at The Fighting Cocks pub.
Professor David Coggon, Professor of Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Southampton University will be crossing the Solent to give a talk on “Environmental Health Hazards”.
He will briefly explain the way in which we assess and manage the risks from chemical and physical agents in the environment, and highlight some of the questions that are currently challenging us (e.g. the possible toxic effects of exposures to combinations of chemicals at low levels and how we cope with the very large number of chemicals that require evaluation).
Cafe Scientifique evenings are free, but it is customary to ask participants at the end of the evening for a donation towards the cost of the speaker’s meal and/or travel expenses.
