The high exposure risks of workers to herbicides in low- and middle-income countries is an important public health concern because the potential resulting negative impacts on workers' health. This study investigated personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance as a risk mitigation measure; particularly who apply for Working Water (WfW) - South African invasive alien vegetation control programme. aim was understand low PPE by analysing their perceptions herbicide use, working conditions...

Background: Planetary Health is an emerging holistic health field to foster interdisciplinary collaborations, integrate Indigenous knowledge, facilitate education, and drive public policy engagement. To understand what extent the has successfully met these goals, we conducted a scoping review bibliometric analysis. Methods: We searched 15 databases from 2005 2019 for peer-reviewed publications with term ‘planetary health’, in title, abstract and/or keywords, no language or geographical...
Human populations and ecosystems are extensively exposed to pesticides. Most nations lack the capacity control pesticide contamination have limited availability of use information. Ecuador is a country with intense high exposure risks humans environment, although relative or combined not well understood. Here, we analyzed distribution application rates in identified regions concern because potential exposure. We used geospatial analysis identify grid cells (∼8 km × 8 km) where highest...
Abstract Objective: To measure vitamin D status and estimate factors associated with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) in Nunavimmiut (Inuit living Nunavik) adults 2017. Design: Data were from Qanuilirpitaa ? 2017 Nunavik Inuit Health Survey, a cross-sectional study conducted August–October Participants underwent questionnaire, including an FFQ, blood samples analysed for total 25(OH)D. Setting: Nunavik, northern Québec, Canada. Participants: A stratified proportional model was used to...
Household air pollution is one of the leading causes death and disease globally. Emerging evidence elevated risk neonatal has been reported in Africa South Asia. However, on extent problem Latin America limited despite persistent use highly polluting cooking fuels. We assessed whether high-polluting household fuels increases compared to low-polluting Colombia.
The rights of homosexuals and same-sex couples are currently the subject debate on public stage in courtrooms around world. This is often colored by prejudice misconceptions regarding homosexuality, particularly low- middle-income countries. study investigates opinions Colombian women about couples' women's attitudes toward a homosexual child (maternal acceptance). Using nationally representative data set, we find that younger, wealthier, more educated likely to support their approve rights,...
While Indigenous food systems remain critical for community well-being, traditionally harvested foods are a potential source of toxic exposures. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation (TWN) is seeking to restore shellfish harvesting in Burrard Inlet (British Columbia [BC], Canada), where the cumulative effects industrial activity have nearly eliminated safe harvesting. Trans Mountain Expansion project would triple capacity transport oil through inlet, threatening TWN's progress To inform ongoing efforts...
Colombia has had one of the largest numbers internally displaced populations in world and 2016 entered a period post-conflict. These socio-ecological geopolitical processes trends have increased migration people towards cities accordingly are affecting distribution occurrence tropical diseases its urban peri-urban areas. Studies suggested that anthropogenic phenomena such as urbanization scale according to size human regardless cultural context. But, other studies show health epidemics...

Humanity has maintained cultural connections with our environments for time immemorial. Plants and artisan crafts are a prime example, as craft purpose, skill, design, species used can vary greatly between communities the loss of critical plant result in access to practices. To mitigate global biodiversity loss, conservationists faced challenge assessing vulnerability extinction prioritizing conservation funding using information instruments, like IUCN red list. This process does not...
Abstract Tourism plays a vital role in both economic development and depending on the scale, it can also aid environmental conservation. planning often considers culture-based nature-based tourism separately, failing to recognize synergies between them, with potential market locations as biocultural destinations. Using Colombia case study, we created metrics of taxonomic biological diversity measured by vertebrate species richness (including birds, mammals, freshwater fishes, reptiles,...
