Session 4: How Environmental Exposures Can Reduce Cognitive Function in ChildrenCenter for Environmental Health
This document summarizes research showing that exposure to various environmental contaminants can harm cognitive development and behavior in children and adults. Studies found that lead, PCBs, mercury, and air pollution like particulate matter and VOCs are associated with reduced IQ, attention problems, learning disabilities, and behavioral issues like aggression. Even low-level exposures can shift the IQ distribution in populations, increasing the number of individuals with cognitive impairment. The evidence suggests environmental exposures may contribute to disorders like ADHD.Session 6: How A Mother’s Proximity to Natural Gas Development Effects Birth ...
Session 6: How A Mother’s Proximity to Natural Gas Development Effects Birth ...Center for Environmental Health
This study examined the association between birth outcomes in rural Colorado and maternal proximity to natural gas development. The study analyzed 124,832 births between 1996-2009. Exposure was determined based on inverse distance weighting of natural gas wells within 10 miles of the mother's residence. The study found small increased odds of congenital heart defects and possibly neural tube defects for mothers living closer to higher well densities, but no associations with oral clefts, preterm birth or low birth weight. Further research is needed to address limitations and potential confounding factors. The findings underscore the importance of more rigorous research on potential health effects of unconventional natural gas development.Out of Harm's Way: Preventing Toxic Threats to Child Development
1) The document discusses the scope of learning disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders in children and links them to toxic chemical exposures. It notes that 17% of children have learning or behavioral disabilities, costing over $800 million per year in Oregon for special education.
2) Children are more vulnerable to toxic chemicals due to higher exposures and an immature brain and body. The chemical environment exposes children to thousands of under-tested chemicals. Lack of data on developmental toxicity exists for over 66% of chemicals.
3) Specific chemicals discussed include mercury, lead and pesticides. Low-level exposures to these chemicals during development have been associated with decreases in IQ and increases in conditions like autism and ADHD.
Fracking Chemicals Disrupt Hormone Function
University of Missouri researchers have discovered that an oil and natural gas drilling technique called hydraulic fracturing uses chemicals that can disrupt the body's hormones. The researchers found that the endocrine-disrupting chemicals used in the process could interfere with a class of hormones that includes testosterone and estrogen. The findings were published in the journal Endocrinology.

2) Exposure to air pollutants like PAHs during pregnancy was found to negatively impact children's cognitive development, scoring lower on IQ tests at age 5. This highlights how pollution can harm fetal development.
3) Respiratory illnesses are among the top 10 causes of death in the Philippines, with about 5,000 deaths annually attributed to poor air quality, especially from vehicle emissions. Str
Power point environmental and occupational health
Here are a few possible reasons why the government has not banned BPA more quickly:
1. Chemical companies that produce and use BPA in plastics manufacturing exert significant lobbying influence. Banning chemicals could hurt their profits.
2. The effects of low-dose exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals like BPA are complex and long-term. It's difficult to definitively prove health impacts, which gives chemical companies arguments against regulation.
3. Government agencies tend to be more conservative in banning chemicals already in wide use. They prefer to see overwhelming scientific consensus first before taking drastic regulatory action.
4. Alternatives to BPA must be developed, tested and brought to market. Transitioning entire industries to new

Polycystic ovarian syndrome(1).pdf
- PCOS was first identified in 1935 and described women who were obese, infertile with enlarged ovaries containing multiple cysts.
- The etiology and pathophysiology of PCOS involves an abnormal "vicious cycle" of excess LH and low FSH secretion leading to hyperandrogenism which disrupts follicle maturation. Insulin resistance also contributes to elevated insulin levels.
- Symptoms of PCOS include irregular or lack of menstruation, hirsutism, weight problems, acne, hair loss, and skin discoloration. Diagnosis involves evaluating hormone levels, ultrasound of ovaries, and ruling out other conditions.
- Treatment aims to induce ovulation if pregnancy is desired using medications
Womens Health 13
This chapter discusses the health risks of tobacco, caffeine, and drug use for women. It notes that nearly half of long-term smokers will die from tobacco use and over 3 million US women have died prematurely from smoking. Smoking is linked to various cancers and cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Prenatal tobacco exposure can harm fetal development and increase risks of low birth weight, premature birth, and SIDS. The chapter also outlines health risks of caffeine, illegal drugs, and drug use during pregnancy on the fetus.

determinants of heallth
The document discusses the 12 key determinants of health according to the World Health Organization. It notes that health is influenced by both uncontrollable factors like genetics as well as controllable environmental and behavioral factors. The 12 determinants are identified as physical environment, social and community environment, health services, genetics, individual behavior, early life, income and social status, education, unemployment and job security, social support networks, culture, and gender.
Pollution and Human Health.pptx
The document discusses various topics related to pollution and human health. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being that involves more than just the absence of disease. Poor health can result from issues like poor nutrition, obesity, and lack of physical activity. The three main types of pollution are air, water, and land pollution. Air pollution can cause respiratory illnesses and cancer, while water pollution spreads diseases and contaminates food sources. Maintaining good hygiene is important for preventing infection and protecting overall health.
Chemical influence
Some chemicals can cause harm to human health. Toxic chemicals include carcinogens that cause cancer, mutagens that cause genetic mutations, and teratogens that cause birth defects. Many chemicals also affect the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. The toxicity of a chemical depends on factors like dose, route of exposure, and individual susceptibility. Scientists use animal testing and epidemiological studies to estimate toxicity, but these have limitations. More research is needed to understand the health impacts of many chemicals, especially at low exposure levels. Efforts to reduce chemical pollution and require safety testing aim to apply the precautionary principle.
Environmental Toxicity and the Effect on Health
Dr. Walter Crinnion, one of the leading experts on environmental medicine and toxicology, shares his observations on the toxic burden we bear in modern society.

An Overview: Reproductive & Developmental Health
The document summarizes the negative impacts of fossil fuel emissions on children's health and development. It finds that fossil fuel combustion releases pollutants and greenhouse gases that disproportionately harm children, exacerbating health issues and socioeconomic inequalities. International cohort studies show associations between prenatal exposure to air pollutants and outcomes like reduced IQ and increased risk of diseases. Policy interventions that reduce emissions have led to decreased exposure levels and improved developmental scores in children. The document calls for a new paradigm centered around protecting children by addressing the joint threats of climate change and air pollution.
Session 2: How Unconventional Natural Gas Extraction Effects Children
Session 2: How Unconventional Natural Gas Extraction Effects ChildrenCenter for Environmental Health
Potential health impacts of natural gas extraction using hydraulic fracturing:
1. Children are more vulnerable than adults to environmental toxicants due to ongoing development and higher exposure rates. Chemical exposures during critical periods of development can cause birth defects or long-term health problems.
2. The process of unconventional natural gas extraction involves drilling multiple horizontal wells from clustered multi-well pads, using high-volume hydraulic fracturing to extract shale gas. This process releases air and water pollutants including methane, VOCs, particulate matter, and naturally occurring radioactive materials.
3. Exposure to air pollutants from natural gas extraction has been associated with increased risk of birth defects, decreased birth weight, and childhood cancers. ExposureFlame Retardants: Environmental and Public Health Impacts and Opportunities f...

Rare Earth Metals by Madison Peters
What's inside all those electronics and tech products you buy? Often, they're filled with toxic chemicals and rare earth minerals. This presentation addresses the history, and global demand for rare earth minerals, and the public and environmental health issues they cause.
Worker Health & Safety
The electronics industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the global economic environment, but it is also one of the least researched businesses in regards to labor practices and worker conditions. The ubiquity of uninterrupted purchasing, using, and discarding of digital technology has inevitably increased demand for electronics manufacturing, which in turn fuels the need for cheaper, faster, and more efficient labor output. Consequently, many of these industries circumvent and violate national labor laws, mainly by outsourcing to developing countries, to maximize and maintain a high rate of production and distribution. In addition, many of these factories are incredibly “dirty” facilities, where workers are often unknowingly exposed to toxic chemicals that are used to make the electronic parts. The following presentation attempts to elucidate many secrets of the international electronics sector, focusing on the violation of human rights and the potential risk posed to human health and safety due to unethical labor practices.
Backtoschool tips slideshow
For many years, CEH has worked to eliminate lead threats to children.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
