RTI International is hosting the North Carolina Society of Toxicology (NCSOT) annual meeting on October 9, 2024. The theme of this year's meeting, "Microplastics and Macroconcerns: Emerging Issues in Microplastics Research." The event will feature keynote presentations by Dr. Austin Gray from Virginia Tech and Imari Walker-Franklin, Ph.D. from RTI International, both recognized experts in the field of microplastics research. Microplastics are plastic particles as large as the length of a pearl and can reach sizes smaller than the width of a human hair. Microplastics come from the breakdown of larger plastic polluting the environment and have been found in air, water bottles, food and the various parts of the human body. "Microplastics represent a growing environmental and health concern that demands our attention," said Walker-Franklin, research chemist at RTI. "This meeting provides a crucial platform for researchers, policymakers and industry professionals to collaborate and advance our understanding of microplastics’ potential impacts on human health and ecosystems."

Climate change is driving rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall, with significant health consequences for vulnerable populations. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Senegal, RTI is analyzing how extreme temperatures and precipitation affect maternal mortality and neonatal outcomes, as well as the effect on malaria cases in the DRC. Our research, in collaboration with the DRC National Institute for Public Health and the Senegal Ministry of Health and Social Action, aims to inform climate adaptation policies to reduce the health harms of heat exposure. By integrating climate data into health programs, we strive to improve outcomes for women, babies, and children.
