(CEEJH), and The Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health (MIAEH),
in the School of Public Health, are pleased to invite you to attend the
"Third Annual Symposium on Environmental Justice and Environmental Health
Disparities in Maryland and Washington, DC."

The goal of this year’s symposium is to expand the discussion on the

focus on vulnerable and at-risk populations who live in the region, and rely

    Industrial Animal Agriculture in the Bay: Disproportionate Burden and
Health Issues

    Urban Fisher Folk, Recreational Exposures, and Health Disparities
    Fracking in Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania: Risks, Impacts, and
