Unmasking the Hidden Threat: Air Pollution and Immune Dysfunction
As the world becomes increasingly aware of environmental challenges, a crucial element remains often overlooked: the link between air pollution and immune-related health issues. Millions are grappling with chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, and persistent inflammation, yet many lack solutions to their health problems. In light of this pressing issue, Austin Air Systems, a leading manufacturer of air purification systems, is joining forces with Environmental Medicine Education International (EMEI) to present a compelling three-day series of webinars aimed at shedding light on this hidden threat.

It is designed for healthcare providers and wellness advocates who are committed to understanding how airborne toxins may be contributing to the increasing frequency of immune-related illnesses. The sessions will be accessible for viewing on-demand to those who register.
Prominent speakers, Dr. Anne Marie Fine and Dr. Lyn Patrick, both distinguished specialists in environmental medicine and founding directors of EMEI, will guide attendees through the intricate relationships between airborne pollutants and immune health.
