Potential Public Health Hazards, Exposures and Health Effects from Unconventional Natural Gas Development
The rapid increase in unconventional natural gas (UNG) development in the United States during the past decade has brought wells and related infrastructure closer to population centers. This review evaluates risks to public health from chemical and nonchemical stressors associated with UNG, describes likely exposure pathways and potential health effects, and identifies major uncertainties to address with future research. The most important occupa…
The Importance of Public Health Agency Independence
Public health often deals with inconvenient truths. These are best communicated and acted on when public health agencies are independent of the organizations or individuals for whom the truths are inconvenient. The importance of public health independence is exemplified by the lack of involvement of the Pennsylvania Department of Health in responding to health concerns about shale gas drilling. Pennsylvania Department of Health involvement has be…
Comparison of the Effects of the US Clean Air Act and of Smoking Prevention and Cessation Efforts on the Risk of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
Objectives. We used 2 approaches based on published information to compare the impacts on leukemia incidence and benzene exposure of the 1990 US Clean Air Act (CAA) amendments and smoking prevention and cessation efforts. Methods. We extrapolated leukemia mortality related to community air pollution levels and to cigarette smoking from data from the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Surgeon General. We also estimated relative decline …

The Precautionary Principle Also Applies to Public Health Actions
The precautionary principle asserts that the burden of proof for potentially harmful actions by industry or government rests on the assurance of safety and that when there are threats of serious damage, scientific uncertainty must be resolved in favor of prevention. Yet we in public health are sometimes guilty of not adhering to this principle. Examples of actions with unintended negative consequences include the addition of methyl tert-butyl eth…
The need to restore the public health base for environmental control
Restoration of the public health base for local, national, and international efforts aimed at protection against adverse health consequences of environmental degradation should be of prime concern for today and the future. Wherever possible, whether it be a mission statement for a cabinet-level EPA or the training and composition of the environmental health work force, we must reinvigorate the public health mission of our environmental protection…
The Who, What, When, Where, and Why of Risk Characterization
Extending the characterization of risk beyond the dimension of how much, to the dimensions of who, what, when, where and why, presents opportunities to enhance the understanding of risk by the public and by the regulator, and to improve risk management. These added dimensions should be used only as a supplement to the standard probability‐based description of risk. They should be restricted to those situations in which they enhance the likelihood…

Children and Work
What do children know about work, careers, and related topics? What is the pattern of growth in values, attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge? Using quantitative and anecdotal evidence gathered from interviewing over 900 grade-school students in five New Jersey communities, the authors analyze childhood socialization to the concept of work. Existing literature on this topic focuses on the critical years of oc-cupational choice. But Goldstein and Oldh…

The State Mediator
To describe the social background, employment conditions, and attitudes of state mediators toward labor-management questions is the principal purpose of this article. Placing the analysis of their survey of state mediators into its historical and institutional context, the authors find that state mediators tend to favor voluntary mediation when requested by parties who have reached an impasse rather than early preventive mediation. They attribute…

Some Aspects of the Nature of Unionism Among Salaried Professionals in Industry
DURING the past two decades, significant numbers of new kinds of workers have become involved in the American trade union movement. Labor unions have reached out to include not only the lessskilled clerical workers, but semior subprofessionals, such as nurses, teachers, social workers, librarians, and others, and technical professionals such as engineers, chemists, physicists, and designers. The extension of union organization to these new catego…
