In combination, these factors lead to higher risks of disease and disability from cancers and heart disease to poor birth outcomes and childhood asthma.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/health\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/11\/files\/2022\/09\/CRA-Inverted-Pyramid-Image-9-7-22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11153\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/health\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/11\/files\/2022\/09\/CRA-Inverted-Pyramid-Image-9-7-22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/health\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/11\/files\/2022\/09\/CRA-Inverted-Pyramid-Image-9-7-22.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/health\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/11\/files\/2022\/09\/CRA-Inverted-Pyramid-Image-9-7-22-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Framework, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/tsca-cra-framework\">visit our new CRAF webpage<\/a>, where you can download the in-depth report on the development of the framework and watch a recording of the webinar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, September 7, 2022, Sarah Vogel, EDF\u2019s Senior Vice President for Health, welcomed over 150 attendees to a webinar on EDF\u2019s new Cumulative Risk Assessment Framework (CRAF).
