Investigators were able to harmonize data and increase sample size across cohorts. However, they faced problems harmonizing certain variables due to cohort-specific social and environmental contexts. This demonstrates the unique challenges of retrospective data harmonization.

A new PROTECT publication led by DMAC trainee Zlatan Feric describes a multi-year study harmonizing and analyzing birth outcomes and arsenic data across three independent birth cohorts, including PROTECT. protect.sites.northeastern.edu/2026/03/26/new…

Today at 1 pm ET: Join us for a free public #ECHODiscovery presentation from Dr. Alicia Peterson of @KPDOR on the potential influence of prenatal & early life exposure to #PFAS on a range of #childhealth outcomes: duke.is/b/sfgu

Exposure to fine #particulatematter #airpollution during the first 5 weeks of #pregnancy was linked to babies being slightly smaller at birth, according to recent #ECHOChildHealth Cohort research. Learn more: duke.is/9/95er

From this, Amir provides three design principles for developing carbon electrodes: (1) optimize porosity to maximize water access & prevent bubble blockage, (2) optimize particle size to improve mass transfer & reactive surface exposure, & (3) use controlled pore structures.

📄 A recent publication led by former Project 4 trainee Amir Taqieddin investigates how the small pores inside granular activated carbon (GAC) particles influence the ability of water to be cleaned in electrochemical treatment systems. protect.sites.northeastern.edu/2026/02/27/pro…

The seminar gave our team an opportunity to further PROTECT’s commitment to strengthening environmental health awareness among professionals who provide health services to communities. Thank you to RAHC for hosting our team and providing the opportunity for these conversations!

In November, members of the PROTECT CEC partnered with Rodríguez Army Health Clinic to deliver an educational session on phthalates and human and environmental health for 28 healthcare professionals, social service providers, and staff from the clinic. protect.sites.northeastern.edu/2026/01/23/cec…
