A stable climate is the most fundamental determinant of human health. Therefore, goal Paris Agreement—limiting global warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius—is arguably humanity's important public health goal. To accomplish this goal, nearly all nations must greatly increase ambition their Nationally Determined Contributions at upcoming United Nations COP26 meeting in 2021. We argue that professionals and organizations can join growing community science-based advocates working achieve...
Children and consumers are exposed to increasingly complex mixtures of known as-yet-unknown toxic chemicals from toys products. However traditional chemical analysis methods only evaluate a small number at time thereby restricting consumer awareness the full range potentially harmful in products.We used high-throughput effect-based non-animal investigate exposures several kinds brominated flame retardants (BFRs) for their dioxin- thyroid hormone-like activities various products 26 different...
For over 10 years, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been on the agenda of European Union (EU), from funding research concerning impacts human health and environment, to discussions about which policy measures are needed reduce public exposure EDCs. In December 1999, when EU Commission issued Strategy Endocrine Disruptors,1 researchers had already recorded wildlife in polluted areas throughout world (eg, reproductive immune problems Baltic seals). Links were being drawn diseases...
The prevalence of hormone-related health issues caused by exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is a significant, and increasing, societal challenge. Declining fertility rates together with rising incidence reproductive disorders other endocrine-related diseases underscores the urgency in taking more action. Addressing growing threat EDCs our environment demands robust reliable test methods assess broad variety endpoints relevant for disruption. also require effective regulatory...
A global movement is emerging in the health sector to engage discourse and advocacy on impacts costs of energy choices--specifically harms extractive, climate-disrupting sources such as coal gas. Individuals organizations have begun address climate issues at multiple levels engagement, including with others sector, pollution-affected communities, policy makers, media. We present recent examples leadership choices opportunities for broadening deepening movement.
Effective chemical policy which accurately assesses potential hazards to human health and the environment appropriately restricts risky chemicals is vital because impacts from industrial exposures are preventable. Primary prevention through could significantly improve public reduce costs, EU safety legislation REACH a key framework. The presentation will briefly discuss major issues regarding epidemiologic exposure data needs, improving risk assessments, challenges achieving protections...
