Philippe Grandjean | KU Leuven eredoctores / Honorary Doctors 2022
🎓 De Deense arts en milieu-epidemioloog professor Philippe Grandjean krijgt op 2 februari 2022 een eredoctoraat van KU Leuven voor zijn onderzoek naar de gevolgen van blootstelling aan chemische stoffen in de omgeving.
🧪 Zijn studies in de Faeröereilanden inspireerden de VN tot het Minamataverdrag inzake kwikvervuiling. In zijn recente onderzoek spitst professor Grandjean zich toe op het verband tussen blootstelling aan bepaalde chemicaliën tijdens de ontwikkeling, en neurologische gedragsontwikkeling, het functioneren van het immuunsysteem en afwijkingen in de stofwisseling. Hij richt zich daarbij in het bijzonder op geperfluoreerde alkylstoffen (PFAS).
Momenteel is professor Grandjean verbonden aan de Zuid-Deense Universiteit, de École des hautes études en santé publique in Parijs en Ha...

Phillipe Grandjean: How Pollutants Impair Brain Development
At present, industrial chemicals are not even tested for possible effects on brain development. As an international authority on the effect of environmental pollutants on brain development, Dr. Grandjean has long advocated stricter regulations on these neurotoxicants. In this presentation he explains how several common pollutants impair brain development in both the fetal stage and early childhood. During development, the human nervous system is uniquely sensitive to toxic substances. The damage from these substances affects cognition, behavior and health. The problems affect not only the damaged children, but their families, communities and the broader society. The brain power of the next generation deserves better protection, as we get only one chance to generate a brain.

🎓 The Danish doctor and environmental epidemiologist Professor Philippe Grandjean will receive an honorary doctorate from KU Leuven on 2 February 2022 for his research into the consequences of exposure to chemical substances in the environment.
🧪 His studies in the Faroe Islands inspired the UN to establish the Minamata Convention on Mercury Pollution. In his recent research, Professor Grandjean has focused on the association between exposure to certain chemicals during childhood and neurobehavioral development, immune system function and metabolic abnormalities. He focuses in particular on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Philippe Grandjean, Professor of Environmental Health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, talks about the lack of government chemical regulation and oversight.
The water crisis gripping Flint, Michigan has exposed thousands of children to unsafe lead levels, triggering a federal emergency declaration and national conversation about basic public health protections. Lead can be toxic to the brain, and children can be particularly vulnerable. However, the Flint example is not unique; other American cities, including the nation’s capitol, have faced lead contamination in water supplies. And research has pointed more generally to an expanding list of chemicals, including certain pesticides, mercury and flame retardants, that may be linked to cognitive delays and health conditions in children. This Forum examined those links and the implications for both children and adults, while exploring public policy successes and failures in safeguarding the public’s health against neurotoxicants.
Part of The Andelot Series on Current Science Controversies, this Forum event was presented February 19, 2016 in Collaboration with PRI’s The World & WGBH.
