Chemicals of concern in select packaged hair relaxers available on the Kenyan market
Background: There is an emerging interest in the investigation of hair relaxers as important sources of exposure to chemicals of concern (CoCs) and their associated adverse health effects. We focused on documentation of CoCs by examining labels of selected relaxers currently available on the market in Nakuru and Embu Counties, Kenya and measured the pH profiles to ensure compliance with Kenya Bureau of Standards. Methods: We enrolled 746 women ag…
Hair Dye and Relaxer Use among Cisgender Women in Embu and Nakuru Counties, Kenya
Despite widespread use of hair products globally, little is known about the prevalence and patterns of use in populations outside the United States. As some hair products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and EDCs have been linked to breast cancer, which is increasing globally, in this study, we addressed key knowledge gaps about hair product use and practices, and perceptions of use among women in two counties in Kenya. Using communi…
Integrity, use and care of long-lasting insecticidal nets in Kirinyaga County, Kenya
More than three-quarters of the nets supplied had survived and insecticidal potency was adequate in vector control. Standard procedure for field evaluation of surface insecticidal content available to a mosquito after landing on a net to rest is recommended
Antimalarial actions of Lawsonia inermis, Tithonia diversifolia and Chromolaena odorata in combination
Antiplasmodial and cytotoxic activities of the constituents of Turraea robusta and Turraea nilotica
From the medicinal plants T. robusta and T. nilotica, twelve compounds were isolated and characterized; two of the isolated compounds, namely 11-epi-toonacilin and azadironolide showed good antiplasmodial activity with the highest selectivity indices
