Healthy Air, Healthy Brains: Advancing Air Pollution Policy to Protect Children’s Health
Evidence is growing on the adverse neurodevelopmental effects of exposure to combustion-related air pollution. Project TENDR (Targeting Environmental Neurodevelopmental Risks), a unique collaboration of leading scientists, health professionals, and children’s and environmental health advocates, has identified combustion-related air pollutants as critical targets for action to protect healthy brain development. We present policy recommendations fo…
Sidel Et Al. Respond
We are grateful to Dowling and Lipton for their letter and to the Journal for providing an opportunity to continue this important discussion. Dowling and Lipton provide additional data that underscore the absurdly distorted priorities of bioterrorism preparedness spending relative to spending for real public health needs in the United States. Outside the United States, the United Nations has estimated that about US$10 billion invested annually in…
Gould Et Al. Respond to Amadio
We certainly share Amadio’s view that public health has been underfunded for decades. We believe this situation is attributable in part to our nation’s propensity for prioritizing colossal military budgets over vital domestic and global public and environmental health programs. Consider, for example, the possibilities denied public health by the United States’ expenditure of approximately $5.5 trillion (in constant 1996 dollars) for nuclear weapo…
Cohen Et Al. Respond to Rumm
We have never been “dismissive” of the potential threats posed by biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons. On the contrary, we have worked over many years to prevent the use of these weapons by nation states (usually termed “war”) or by individuals or groups (often termed “terrorism”). As we stated in our commentary, “war, poverty, environmental degradation, and misallocation of resources are the greatest root causes of worldwide mortality and m…
The Pitfalls of Bioterrorism Preparedness: The Anthrax and Smallpox Experiences
Bioterrorism preparedness programs have contributed to death, illness, and waste of public health resources without evidence of benefit. Several deaths and many serious illnesses have resulted from the smallpox vaccination program; yet there is no clear evidence that a threat of smallpox exposure ever existed. The anthrax spores released in 2001 have been linked to secret US military laboratories—the resultant illnesses and deaths might not have …
From Woolsorters to Mail Sorters: Anthrax Past, Present, and Future
Three items in this issue of the Journal review past and current topics regarding the cause and prevention of anthrax infection in humans. In Voices From the Past, Fee and Brown discuss the groundbreaking work of John Henry Bell on occupational anthrax among woolsorters in Bradford, England, after wool and hair were introduced from abroad in the middle of the 19th century.1 Bell, in a 1878 report—also presented in Voices From the Past—recommended…
