Ubiquitous Lead— A Challenge for the Future of Public Health
Ubiquitous Lead
A Historical Perspective on the CDC Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
Framework for a Community Health Observing System for the Gulf of Mexico Region
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) region is prone to disasters, including recurrent oil spills, hurricanes, floods, industrial accidents, harmful algal blooms, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The GoM and other regions of the U.S. lack sufficient baseline health information to identify, attribute, mitigate, and facilitate prevention of major health effects of disasters. Developing capacity to assess adverse human health consequences of future disasters …
Reported Neighborhood Traffic and the Odds of Asthma/Asthma-Like Symptoms
Asthma in children poses a significant clinical and public health burden. We examined the association between reported neighborhood traffic (a proxy for traffic-related air pollution) and asthma among 855 multi-racial children aged 4-8 years old who participated in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) cohort. We hypothesized that high neighborhood traffic density would be associated with the prevalence of asthma. Asthma/as…

Danske intellektuelle på Facebook - eksemplificeret ved Svend Brinkmann og Carsten Jensen
The article analyses how two unique Danish intellectual voices, Professor Svend Brinkmann and writer Carsten Jensen, use Facebook as a platform. It argues, on the one hand, that Facebook offers direct access to the two intellectuals' followers and readers but on the other hand also creates communicative challenges. The article asks in particular whether the Brinkmann and Jensen follow or depart form the communicative practices afforded by the pla…
Baseline Air Quality Assessment of Goods Movement Activities before the Port of Charleston Expansion
As the demand for goods continues to increase, a collective network of transportation systems is required to facilitate goods movement activities. This study examines air quality near the Port of Charleston before its expansion and briefly describes the establishment and structure of a community-university partnership used to monitor existing pollution. Particulate matter (PM) concentrations (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ) were measured using the Thermo Fish…
Photovoice
Photovoice is a qualitative method of inquiry whereby individuals can document their lived experiences, particularly individuals whose voices are not typically heard in regard to promoting social change and policy development. We used photovoice to elicit major themes regarding community members' perceptions of the long-term impact on their quality of life as a deadly technological disaster hit a small, rural town in South Carolina. Overall, part…
Engaging a Chemical Disaster Community
Community engagement remains a primary objective of public health practice. While this approach has been adopted with success in response to many community health issues, it is rarely adopted in chemical disaster response. Empirical research suggests that management of chemical disasters focuses on the emergency response with almost no community engagement for long-term recovery. Graniteville, an unincorporated and medically underserved community…
Respiratory symptoms and lung function 8–10 months after community exposure to chlorine gas
Eight to ten months after acute chlorine exposure, the Graniteville health screening participants under-reported respiratory symptoms when compared to abnormal spirometry results. Sensitivity and specificity were low, and we determined that relying upon the self-report questionnaire was not adequate to objectively assess the lung health of our population following irritant gas exposure
Prediction of Unmet Primary Care Needs for the Medically Vulnerable Post-Disaster
Disasters serve as shocks and precipitate unanticipated disturbances to the health care system. Public health surveillance is generally focused on monitoring latent health and environmental exposure effects, rather than health system performance in response to these local shocks. The following intervention study sought to determine the long-term effects of the 2005 chlorine spill in Graniteville, South Carolina on primary care access for vulnerab…
Assessment of the Distribution of Toxic Release Inventory Facilities in Metropolitan Charleston
Objectives. We assessed spatial disparities in the distribution of Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) facilities in Charleston, SC. Methods. We used spatial methods and regression to assess burden disparities in the study area at the block and census-tract levels by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES). Results. Results revealed an inverse relationship between distance to TRI facilities and race/ethnicity and SES at the block and census-tract…
Secondary Surge Capacity
Disasters create a secondary surge in casualties because of the sudden increased need for long-term health care. Surging demands for medical care after a disaster place excess strain on an overtaxed health care system operating at maximum or reduced capacity. We have applied a health services use model to identify areas of vulnerability that perpetuate health disparities for at-risk populations seeking care after a disaster. We have proposed a fr…

Kærlighedens kunst. Om Kieslowskis film og lidt om Aleksandra Kollontaj
The article deals with the contruction of the conception of romantic love in the productions of the Polish film director Kieslowski. Erik Svendsen discusses the idea of romantic love as a silent criticism of the authoritarian regimes in Eastern Europe and points out, too, the similarities to the Communist interpretation of love as it was perceived and proclaimed by Alexandra Kollontay. The heritage of Kieslowski is the cultural heritage of both C…
Kieslowskis Trikoloretrilogi
Krzysztof Kieslowskis er i Vesteuropa blevet rosende modtaget af såvel kritikerstanden som af et bredt feinschmeckerpublikum. I den- ne artikel foretager Erik Svendsen en grundig analyse af den polske instruktørs seneste - og måske sidste? - film, trilogien "Blå", "Hvid" og "Rød". "Trikoloretrilogien" giver et signalement af den vestlige modernitet, hvis grundværdier er formuleret i den franske revolutions slogan om frihed, lighed og broderskab, …
Monetary policy and theory in Denmark, 1784–1800
The Danish monetary situation at the end of the eighteenth century made the formulation of a detailed monetary policy essential. Not only had the 1784 government taken over after a considerable quantity of money had been put into circulation, but the disturbed conditions due to war and a widespread slump in trade had led to further monetary difficulties. Practical measures for reform were very much to the fore both in government circles and with …
Monetary policy and theory in Denmark, 1784–1800 part I
With the fall of Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, the secretary of the Council, on 14 April 1784, the group of men who took over political and military power in Denmark were faced with a number of serious economic problems. One of the most urgent was the uncertain state into which the monetary system had fallen, and monetary matters therefore came to occupy an important place both in the deliberations of the government and in contemporary writings
