Abstract Background We previously demonstrated that aluminum cookware brought from Afghanistan by resettled families as well some available for purchase in the United States represent a unrecognized source of lead exposure. However, extent to which this represents exposure other residents is unclear. Objectives To test additional content and its propensity leach toxic metals. This will further our understanding poisoning risk elsewhere. Methods screened an 28 pieces 5 brass items using X-ray...
Afghan refugee children resettled in Washington State have the highest prevalence of elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) any other or immigrant population. Resettled families brought several lead-containing items with them from Afghanistan, including aluminum cookpots.
Following the removal of lead from gasoline, paint and pipes were thought to be main sources exposure in United States. However, consumer products, such as certain spices, ceramic metal cookware, traditional health remedies, cultural powders, are increasingly recognized important across
Air pollution continues to be a global public health threat, and the expanding availability of small, low-cost air sensors has led increased interest in both personal crowd-sourced monitoring. However, date, few monitoring networks have been developed with scientific rigor or continuity needed conduct surveillance inform policy. In Imperial County, California, near U.S./Mexico border, we used collaborative, community-engaged process develop community network that attains required for...
