Environmental health recommendations for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in low- and middle-income countries
The impact of environmental health risk factors on the optimization of health in MDR-TB infected individuals, as well as on the prevention of transmission to household contacts, is not well documented. Establishing the recommendations of environmental health risk factors for individuals living at home with MDR-TB will have important policy implications in LMICs, such as South Africa. The study objectives were to identify current environmental hea…
Stop blaming the farmer
The negative effects of pesticide use in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) are often blamed on the "misuse" of pesticides.The industry and government narrative is that the use of highly hazardous pesticides is safe when instructions are followed, and that harm occurs due to "irrational" and "improper" human behavior, linked to lack of knowledge by farmers.This assumption does not consider the real-life situations of pesticide users in LMICs…
Applying social risk theory to competing constructions of risk in environmental assessment
Toxic layering through three disciplinary lenses
This article focuses on the devastating hidden perils of agricultural pesticides repurposed by informal sellers in urban South African townships to kill rats and other unwanted pests. Drawing on collaborative research techniques, we investigate the causal relationship between child poisoning episodes and the household use of illegal street pesticides. Such pesticides are used to safeguard homes from pests in an attempt to protect children from th…

The growing majority of urban dwellers now live in informal conditions that, without access to basic services or public amenities, expose residents to greater health risk, and health-care systems are unable to provide affordable or comprehensive cover. The differential exposure to these urban conditions is compounded by social and economic vulnerability,…
