In this episode of Talking Environment, host Gevorg Ghazaryan is joined by Dr. Jane Clougherty, Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health at Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health, for a deep and timely conversation on the intersection of air quality, social stress, and public health.

Dr. Clougherty shares her research on how environmental exposures, especially air pollution, combine with chronic stressors to create unequal health outcomes, particularly in urban communities. The conversation explores what cities can do to respond to these complex challenges and how climate change is further complicating air quality and health equity.

You’ll also hear about innovations in exposure tracking, the role of community data, and what it takes to center justice in environmental health planning.
