Light on population health status. (1/991)

A new approach to illustrating and analysing health status is presented which allows comparisons of various aspects of health in a population at different times and in different populations during given periods. Both quantitative and qualitative elements can be represented, the impact of interventions can be monitored, and the extent to which objectives are achieved can be assessed. The practical application of the approach is demonstrated with reference to the health profiles to Tunisia in 1966 and 1994.  (+info)

Hazardous wastes in eastern and central Europe: technology and health effects. (2/991)

Issues of hazardous waste management are major concerns in the countries of eastern and central Europe. A National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences-supported conference was held in Prague, Czech Republic, as a part of a continuing effort to provide information and promote discussion among the countries of eastern and central Europe on issues related to hazardous wastes. The focus was on incineration as a means of disposal of hazardous wastes, with discussions on both engineering methods for safe incineration, and possible human health effects from incineration by-products. Representatives from government agencies, academic institutions, and local industries from 14 countries in the region participated along with a few U.S. and western European experts in this field. A series of 12 country reports documented national issues relating to the environment, with a focus on use of incineration for hazardous waste disposal. A particularly valuable contribution was made by junior scientists from the region, who described results of environmental issues in their countries.  (+info)

Water pollution and human health in China. (3/991)

China's extraordinary economic growth, industrialization, and urbanization, coupled with inadequate investment in basic water supply and treatment infrastructure, have resulted in widespread water pollution. In China today approximately 700 million people--over half the population--consume drinking water contaminated with levels of animal and human excreta that exceed maximum permissible levels by as much as 86% in rural areas and 28% in urban areas. By the year 2000, the volume of wastewater produced could double from 1990 levels to almost 78 billion tons. These are alarming trends with potentially serious consequences for human health. This paper reviews and analyzes recent Chinese reports on public health and water resources to shed light on what recent trends imply for China's environmental risk transition. This paper has two major conclusions. First, the critical deficits in basic water supply and sewage treatment infrastructure have increased the risk of exposure to infectious and parasitic disease and to a growing volume of industrial chemicals, heavy metals, and algal toxins. Second, the lack of coordination between environmental and public health objectives, a complex and fragmented system to manage water resources, and the general treatment of water as a common property resource mean that the water quality and quantity problems observed as well as the health threats identified are likely to become more acute.  (+info)

Impact of diet on lead in blood and urine in female adults and relevance to mobilization of lead from bone stores. (4/991)

We measured high precision lead isotope ratios and lead concentrations in blood, urine, and environmental samples to assess the significance of diet as a contributing factor to blood and urine lead levels in a cohort of 23 migrant women and 5 Australian-born women. We evaluated possible correlations between levels of dietary lead intake and changes observed in blood and urine lead levels and isotopic composition during pregnancy and postpartum. Mean blood lead concentrations for both groups were approximately 3 microg/dl. The concentration of lead in the diet was 5.8 +/- 3 microg Pb/kg [geometric mean (GM) 5.2] and mean daily dietary intake was 8.5 microg/kg/day (GM 7.4), with a range of 2-39 microg/kg/day. Analysis of 6-day duplicate dietary samples for individual subjects commonly showed major spikes in lead concentration and isotopic composition that were not reflected by associated changes in either blood lead concentration or isotopic composition. Changes in blood lead levels and isotopic composition observed during and after pregnancy could not be solely explained by dietary lead. These data are consistent with earlier conclusions that, in cases where levels of environmental lead exposure and dietary lead intake are low, skeletal contribution is the dominant contributor to blood lead, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.  (+info)

High concentrations of heavy metals in neighborhoods near ore smelters in northern Mexico. (5/991)

In developing countries, rapid industrialization without environmental controls has resulted in heavy metal contamination of communities. We hypothesized that residential neighborhoods located near ore industries in three northern Mexican cities would be heavily polluted with multiple contaminants (arsenic, cadmium, and lead) and that these sites would be point sources for the heavy metals. To evaluate these hypotheses, we obtained samples of roadside surface dust from residential neighborhoods within 2 m of metal smelters [Torreon (n = 19)] and Chihuahua (n = 19)] and a metal refinery [Monterrey (n = 23)]. Heavy metal concentrations in dust were mapped with respect to distance from the industrial sites. Correlation between dust metal concentration and distance was estimated with least-squares regression using log-transformed data. Median dust arsenic, cadmium, and lead concentrations were 32, 10, and 277 microg/g, respectively, in Chihuahua; 42, 2, and 467 microg/g, respectively, in Monterrey, and 113, 112, and 2,448 microg/g, respectively, in Torreon. Dust concentrations of all heavy metals were significantly higher around the active smelter in Torreon, where more than 90% of samples exceeded Superfund cleanup goals. At all sites, dust concentrations were inversely related to distance from the industrial source, implicating these industries as the likely source of the contamination. We concluded that residential neighborhoods around metal smelting and refining sites in these three cities are contaminated by heavy metals at concentrations likely to pose a health threat to people living nearby. Evaluations of human exposure near these sites should be conducted. Because multiple heavy metal pollutants may exist near smelter sites, researchers should avoid attributing toxicity to one heavy metal unless others have been measured and shown not to coexist.  (+info)

Animals as sentinels of human health hazards of environmental chemicals. (6/991)

A workshop titled "Using Sentinel Species Data to Address the Potential Human Health Effects of Chemicals in the Environment," sponsored by the U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research, the National Center for Environmental Assessment of the EPA, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, was held to consider the use of sentinel and surrogate animal species data for evaluating the potential human health effects of chemicals in the environment. The workshop took a broad view of the sentinel species concept, and included mammalian and nonmammalian species, companion animals, food animals, fish, amphibians, and other wildlife. Sentinel species data included observations of wild animals in field situations as well as experimental animal data. Workshop participants identified potential applications for sentinel species data derived from monitoring programs or serendipitous observations and explored the potential use of such information in human health hazard and risk assessments and for evaluating causes or mechanisms of effect. Although it is unlikely that sentinel species data will be used as the sole determinative factor in evaluating human health concerns, such data can be useful as for additional weight of evidence in a risk assessment, for providing early warning of situations requiring further study, or for monitoring the course of remedial activities. Attention was given to the factors impeding the application of sentinel species approaches and their acceptance in the scientific and regulatory communities. Workshop participants identified a number of critical research needs and opportunities for interagency collaboration that could help advance the use of sentinel species approaches.  (+info)

Double exposure. Environmental tobacco smoke. (7/991)

One study after another is finding strong associations between a variety of human illness and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). A 1986 report by the U.S. Surgeon General concluded that ETS is a cause of disease, including lung cancer, in healthy nonsmokers. Other reports have documented causal associations between ETS and lower respiratory tract infections, middle ear disease and exacerbation of asthma in children, heart disease, retardation of fetal growth, sudden infant death syndrome, and nasal sinus cancer. However, the findings from many of these studies remain controversial. A number of scientists remain skeptical about the association between ETS and serious illness in nonsmokers, charging that scientific journals either fail to publish pro-tobacco findings and meta-analyses or disregard those that are published. They also claim that many epidemiological studies declare causal associations based on marginal odds ratios.  (+info)

Potential effects of gas hydrate on human welfare. (8/991)

For almost 30 years. serious interest has been directed toward natural gas hydrate, a crystalline solid composed of water and methane, as a potential (i) energy resource, (ii) factor in global climate change, and (iii) submarine geohazard. Although each of these issues can affect human welfare, only (iii) is considered to be of immediate importance. Assessments of gas hydrate as an energy resource have often been overly optimistic, based in part on its very high methane content and on its worldwide occurrence in continental margins. Although these attributes are attractive, geologic settings, reservoir properties, and phase-equilibria considerations diminish the energy resource potential of natural gas hydrate. The possible role of gas hydrate in global climate change has been often overstated. Although methane is a "greenhouse" gas in the atmosphere, much methane from dissociated gas hydrate may never reach the atmosphere, but rather may be converted to carbon dioxide and sequestered by the hydrosphere/biosphere before reaching the atmosphere. Thus, methane from gas hydrate may have little opportunity to affect global climate change. However, submarine geohazards (such as sediment instabilities and slope failures on local and regional scales, leading to debris flows, slumps, slides, and possible tsunamis) caused by gas-hydrate dissociation are of immediate and increasing importance as humankind moves to exploit seabed resources in ever-deepening waters of coastal oceans. The vulnerability of gas hydrate to temperature and sea level changes enhances the instability of deep-water oceanic sediments, and thus human activities and installations in this setting can be affected.  (+info)

In recent years publications have called for increased use of administrative data for research; predicted that use would rise; and discussed possible ethical parameters for that use. This paper describes the novel combination of three administrative datasets to create a population cohort for environmental health research, and investigates the potential use of a national health register as a total population denominator. We matched a national health register (the New Zealand national health index or NHI) to Quotable Value New Zealand Ltd (QV) nationwide residential dwelling data, and to hospital admissions data, to create a national matched cohort with health outcomes for the period 2000 - 2006. We then compared population distribution and hospitalisation rates by gender, age, ethnic group and Census Area Unit-based socio-economic deprivation index across the Census, NHI and matched cohort populations. The NHI population was 23% larger than the Census. Differences between the NHI and Census were most

Speakers at the ongoing negotiations for a new treaty on biodiversity in ocean areas beyond national jurisdiction agreed today that a State party to the instrument - rather than the proponent of a planned activity - should determine the need to conduct environmental impact assessments.. They expressed different opinions, however, on the details of carrying out such assessments - including the role that would be played by a scientific and technical body to be established through the treaty - as they scrutinized articles 30, 31 and 32 of a draft text (document A/CONF.232/2019/6).. Deliberations on these and other topics are taking place at Headquarters during the third session of the International Conference on an international legally binding instrument under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Exploring Epigenetics and New Biomarkers for Environmental Health ResearchExploring Epigenetics and New Biomarkers for Environmental Health Research
Baccarelli and his team in the Columbia University Department of Environmental Health Sciences are now leveraging the unique aspects of mitochondria to better understand how different environmental exposures impact disease risk.. Mitochondria are a key source and target of oxidative stress, which involves the bodys efforts to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. As more oxidative stress is produced in the mitochondria, an amplification effect can occur, potentially resulting in more stress and greater mitochondrial DNA damage. Compared to DNA that is maintained in the cell nuclei, mitochondrial DNA is more prone to damage because repair mechanisms are not as efficient. "Given their ineffective DNA repair mechanisms, I believe the mitochondria can work like a biological memory box, recording exposures that happen throughout life," Baccarelli said. "Essentially, we can use the mitochondria as new biomarkers for environmental health studies.". Baccarelli and his team are using assays to ...

Could Pesticides Be Even Worse When its Warmer? - Center for Environmental Health | Center for Environmental HealthCould Pesticides Be Even Worse When it's Warmer? - Center for Environmental Health | Center for Environmental Health
The Center for Environmental Health and five other groups - Sierra Club, NRDC, Defenders of Wildlife, Center for Biological Diversity and Pesticide Action Network - are urging the EPA take climate change into account when regulating pesticides. Scientists have long warned that changing climate conditions could affect the environmental and health threats from these toxic farm poisons.. One primary issue is that farmers may increasingly depend on pesticides as the planet warms. According to a recent study published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, a warming climate could lead to increases in crop pests and disease problems, resulting in increases in pesticide applications. The study also noted that patterns of drought followed by heavy rains could greatly increase runoff of farm poisons throughout the environment (and in fact, recent research has already documented the runoff of hundreds of pounds of pesticides from farmland into streams and wetlands following a hard ...
Setting Cleanup Standards to Protect Future Generations - Institute for Energy and Environmental ResearchSetting Cleanup Standards to Protect Future Generations - Institute for Energy and Environmental Research
Washington, D.C., December 11: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is embarked on a process of setting standards for cleanup at its Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant that could result in unprecedented levels of plutonium being left at the site, according to a new report issued today. The report, Setting Cleanup Standards to Protect Future Generations: The Scientific Basis of Subsistence Farmer Scenario and Its Application to the Estimation of Radionuclide Soil Action Levels (RSALs) for Rocky Flats, was prepared for a Boulder Colorado group, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER).. The report criticizes the DOE for proposing to use the impending designation of the site as a wildlife refuge to set cleanup standards which could result in high levels of plutonium being left behind in the soil after the site has been declared cleaned up. The traditional process for protecting people has been to assume that people might live on the ...

More soldiers become ill or injured from disease and non-battle injuries than from combat, and providing good quality water supplies to the warfighter is a key element in preventing such injuries. Basic field water tests can detect only a few high priority threat chemicals, and comprehensive testing for additional chemicals can takes days or weeks. The ESB provides rapid toxicity identification for many industrial and agricultural chemicals in water. Rather than evaluating individual chemical constituents, the ESB system uses two individual biological-based sensors to identify toxic responses associated with the presence of chemicals: an electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) device that measures changes electrical characteristics of a layer of vertebrate cells grown on fluidic biochips, and a pesticide sensor (also known as the ACEâ„¢ Rapid Test for Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors, or ACEâ„¢ sensor) that measures enzyme inhibition caused primarily by carbamate and organophosphorus ...

Genotyping is focused on the identification of the physiological function of genes and the elucidation of the role of specific genes in disease susceptibility.6 The HGP has provided insight in the number of genes and their location in the human genome.2 3 7 This knowledge in combination with major technological improvements resulted in the development of assays that are able to assess variability in the DNA sequence of many thousands of genes in a single experiment. This development has opened the possibility to study the combined effect of variability in multiple genes on the development of complex diseases. While several types of genetic variation exist (eg, insertions and deletions of nucleotide base pairs and copy number variations (CNVs)), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most commonly investigated.2 At this moment over nine million detected SNPs are available in public databases.8 9 Because SNPs are highly abundant in the human genome, they are commonly used as markers for ...

Zambia Urges Media to Report Environmental Issues Accurately - RedorbitZambia Urges Media to Report Environmental Issues Accurately - Redorbit
Zambia urges media to report environmental issues accurately LUSAKA, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Zambian Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources Minister Michael Kaingu has called on the Zambian media to report accurately on environmental issues to provide information that will encourage communities to guard against degradation, according to Times of Zambia. When he officially opened a two-day media workshop here Monday on environmental reporting, Kaingu said the media had a critical role to play in the promotion of good and sustainable environment. Kaingu said in a speech that the Zambian media seemed not adequately equipped on raising public awareness about the benefits of protecting their environment. "While it is widely recognized that the media plays a very important role in sensitizing and raising public awareness about environmental issues, it should be appreciated that the Zambian media needs to do more when it comes to issues of environmental protection.

Background There are several standards that offer explicit guidance on good practice in systematic reviews (SRs) for the medical sciences; however, no similarly comprehensive set of recommendations has been published for SRs that focus on human health risks posed by exposure to environmental challenges, chemical or otherwise. Objectives To develop an expert, cross-sector consensus view on a key set of recommended practices for the planning and conduct of SRs in the environmental health sciences. Methods A draft set of recommendations was derived from two existing standards for SRs in biomedicine and developed in a consensus process, which engaged international participation from government, industry, non-government organisations, and academia. The consensus process consisted of a workshop, follow-up webinars, email discussion and bilateral phone calls. Results The Conduct of Systematic Reviews in Toxicology and Environmental Health Research (COSTER) recommendations cover 70 SR practices across ...

Science for the Vulnerable: Setting Radiation and Multiple Exposure Standards - Institute for Energy and Environmental ResearchScience for the Vulnerable: Setting Radiation and Multiple Exposure Standards - Institute for Energy and Environmental Research
The last half century has seen great progress in environmental health protection. The other side of that coin is that most of the standards themselves became necessary as a result of a vast array of hazardous materials and radionuclides that have been introduced into the human environment since the end of World War II. As evidence of the many ways they can harm human health has mounted, maximum exposure limits have been reduced. Children have moved to the center of many of the concerns, as for instance, in the case of exposure to lead. Protections have been put in place to limit radiation dose to the embryo/fetus in the work locations where there are known risks of radiation exposure. That protection is brought to bear only when a woman chooses to declare her pregnancy, thereby protecting her rights in the workplace. But as knowledge has grown, the gaps in the regulatory framework have become more evident and their importance more transparent. Many radiation protection regulations, notably ...

Environmental issues in Russia - WikipediaEnvironmental issues in Russia - Wikipedia
There are numerous environmental issues in Russia. Many of the issues have been attributed to policies during the Soviet Union, a time when officials felt that pollution control was an unnecessary hindrance to economic development and industrialization . As a result, 40% of Russias territory began demonstrating symptoms of significant ecological stress by the 1990s, largely due to a diverse number of environmental issues, including deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution, and nuclear waste. According to Russias Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Russia is currently warming 2.5 times faster than the rest of the globe. Russia has many protected areas, such as zapovedniks and natural parks, which are made to preserve the natural state of environments. There are currently 101 zapovedniks that cover a total of over 33.5 million hectares. However, some animals, such as the Amur tiger, polar bear ,and Caucasian leopard, are facing extinction.
