Conference: Toxic Trespass: Effects on Human Health

The Environmental Health Association of Quebec invites you to attend our conference on human health and the environment. Human health is impacted by everyday exposures to chemicals contained in commonly used products. What are these effects? What do we need to do to turn the tide?

Dr. John Molot MD CCFP will be speaking. He is a staff physician at the Environmental Health Clinic at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, member of the Environmental Health Committee of the Ontario College of Family Physicians, and appointed Lecturer in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa.

Come and walk with us for the 170,000 Quebecers that have been diagnosed and disabled by Environmental Sensitivities. We will be walking from Concordia University, 1455 Blvd. de Maisonneuve West, to 2001 McGill College Ave. Dr. Amir Khadir will be speaking. We are asking the Quebec government to recognize Environmental Sensitivities and provide appropriate health and social services.
