DESCRIPTION:Environmental-health scientists and physicians are increasingly
   confirming  the environmental (including developmental - that is\, in-ut
 ero and early post-natal) origins of much disease\, dysfunction\, and  dea
 th.  How should citizens\, scientists\, and society respond to these distu
 rbing scientific findings?\nUsing both scientific and  ethical analysis\, 
 this talk gives 5 arguments that virtually all  citizens and scientists (t
 o varying degrees and for slightly different reasons\,  depending on their
  expertise\, ability\, profession\, etc) have justice-based duties to be a
 dvocates for environmental health.  Justice  demands they/we help preventi
 ng serious\, pollution-induced health harms\, especially 'developmental to
 xicity' and 'genomic instability.' The 5  main arguments of the talk focus
  on 3 main case studies: air pollution from fossil fuels\, pesticide/herbi
 cide use\, and waste incineration. These 5 arguments are\n\n(1) that none 
 of the  4 main ethical theories can consistently defend serious\, avoidabl
 e\, pollution-induced health harms\, as a matter of justice\; \n(2) that  
 all major political theories require leaving 'as much and as good' natural
 /biological resources for future generations\, as a matter of justice\; \n
 (3) that scientists have greater justice-based duties\, than ordinary citi
 zens\, to help stop serious\,  avoidable\, pollution-induced health harms 
 because they help cause such harms and have greater professional abilities
 /oppportunities to help  stop these harms\; \n(4) that scientists have gre
 ater justice-based duties\, than ordinary citizens\, to help stop serious\
 , avoidable\, pollution-induced health harms because they disproportionate
 ly benefit from these harms\, given their better-than-average education/co
 nsumption/income\; and \n(5) that all major objections to arguments (1)-(4
 ) fail on logical\, ethical\, or scientific grounds. \n\nThese objections 
 include\, for instance\, scientists' alleged duties to remain neutral and 
 factual\, scientists' not intending harm\, scientific  uncertainties about
  pollution harm\, and allegations that more stringent pollution controls w
 ill harm the economy.
