Child stuntingWorld Health Organization: “a failure to reach linear growth potential as a result of suboptimal health and/or nutritional conditions. A height that is 2 Standard Deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards median”
Why is it important and why should Environmental Engineers focus on it? - Our measures of success (microbial prevalence,
trihalomethane (THMs), neoicotinoids, etc.) have all been linked to child stunting- Stunting impacts long term physical and mental societal
contributions, and can be multigenerational
![Page 16: American Chemical Society Presentation on Diarrhea and Child Stunting](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58d0d3791a28ab47238b4ec9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)The SDGs are a [proposed] set of 17 goals and 169 targets to follow the Millennium Development Goals, focused on global sustainable development including ending poverty and hunger, improving health and education, improving cities, combating climate change, and protecting our oceans and forests. Child health underlies many goals.
What do the SDGs incorporate that is of interest to Environmental Engineers?- These are a set of internationally negotiated areas of high importance- Research and development play a critical role in reaching these goals- Environmental Engineering plays a critical underlying role in a majority of
the goals

• Analysis uses structural equation modeling which is based on regression analysis
• Temporal issues are a key driver in understanding a system (i.e. feedback loops, lags/delays, oscillatory variables, etc.)
• Primary temporal issues could be; seasonality of rains, harvest, food security, diet, others?
• How does that affect child stunting?
Time Variant Issues

Goals of Research• Synthesize academic literature on child stunting
• Identify causal factors of child stunting and potential cross cutting solutions (technical OR non-technical)
• Find cost effective solutions AND cost effective assessments
• Bridge the gap between SEM (frequentist/bayesian statistics) and SDM (differential equation based dynamics)
