development, disease progression and associated mortality. This session will discuss mechanistic, workplace, and patient-related factors that contribute to exposure-related burden of disease across all subtypes of ILD patients. After this session, learners will understand common inhalational exposures associated with Non-HP ILD, the occupational and domestic environments in which they will occur, overall mechanisms of disease, and learn how to assess for these exposures in clinical practice. 11:00 What Are They? Current Evidence on Environmental Exposures in ILDs 11:15 Who is affected? Susceptible Workers and ILD 11:30 Why Does It Happen? Mechanisms of Exposure and Disease in ILD 11:45 Where You Live Matters: Air Pollution and ILD 12:00 How Do We Check? Opportunities and Challenges for Exposure Assessment 12:15 Moderated Q&A/Panel Discussion This session and the International Conference are supported

• explain the impacts of natural and human-made disasters on respiratory morbidity and mortality and importance of the holistic approach to the problem. • analyze the mechanisms underlying effects of dust particles and wildfire particles, irritants, and toxicants on the respiratory health. • encourage other ATS members and others to become involved and respond to the health challenges posed by natural and human-made disasters through influencing policy makers. Natural and human-made disasters such as massive earthquakes, volcanos and wildfires have a devastating impact on human lives. Victims may be exposed to extremely high concentrations of dust, particulate matter (p.m.) and toxic gases that may cause both acute and chronic respiratory problems such as pulmonary injury, bronchospasm, chronic cough, persistent bronchial hyperreactivity. This session will focus on impacts of inhaled irritants and air pollutants, which are associated with natural and human-made hazards, on respiratory health. Leading scientists will discuss scale of the problem, clinical aspects, mechanisms, and holistic approach to the problem and a policy development for intervention and mitigation. 11:00 To Survive a Wildfire, from a Patient/Survivor’s Perspective 11:06 Natural Disasters and Human-Made Disasters; Are They Increased? 11:18 Igniting the Connection: Exploring the Link Between Wildfire and Climate Change 11:30 Wildfires and Respiratory Impacts; Underlying Mechanisms 11:42 Earthquakes and Respiratory Health; Is There a Risk? 11:54 Volcanos, a Source of Inhalational Disasters 12:06 Human-Made Disasters, Terrorism, and Respiratory Impacts 12:18 Respiratory Impacts of Disaster from One Health Perspectiveimpacts of disaster from One Health perspective
