Threats and humiliation at the workplace and mental health among environmental scientists - a cross-sectional study
Violence at the workplace (e.g., threats, humiliation) is an increasing area of concern in many countries around the world. This study aimed to quantify the prevalence of mental health conditions associated with workplace violence among environmental health professionals. We conducted a cross-sectional survey between January and February 2022 among scientists who are members and former members of the International Society for Environmental Epidem…
A new environmental public health practice to manage current and future global health challenges through education, training, and capacity building
Unsustainable globalisation of economic activities, lifestyles and social structures has contributed to environmental degradation, posing major threats to human health at the local and global levels. All these problems including climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss represent challenges that are unlikely to be met with existing approaches, capabilities and tools. This article acknowledges the need for well-prepared practitioners from m…
Building competency to deal with environmental health challenges
The global landscape of professional training in environmental health, encompassing ecological public health or environmental public health, lacks consistent global implementation for training programs for public health practitioners, clinical professionals, and individuals across various disciplines, as well as standardized curricula for undergraduates. This training gap is related to the overall lack of capacity in addressing the population imp…
Climate change impacts on health across the life course
CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN IMPORTANT DETERMINANT OF HEALTH ACROSS THE LIFE COURSE Climate change is transforming all aspects of life on earth, including human life. This issue of the journal includes three articles summarising the available reviews on the impact of climate change on maternal and newborn health, child and adolescent health, and older people, [...]
On the importance of primary and community healthcare in relation to global health and environmental threats
In the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become clear that primary healthcare systems play a critical role in clinical care, such as patient screening, triage, physical and psychological support and also in promoting good community advice and awareness in coordination with secondary healthcare and preventive care. Because of the role of social and environmental factors in COVID-19 transmission and burden of disease, it is essential to ensur…
Flooding
Floods are the most common type of natural disaster in both developed and developing countries and have led to extensive morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Worldwide, over the past 30 years, flooding has claimed the lives of more than 200,000 people and affected more than 2.8 billion others. The impact of flooding on health varies among populations and depends primarily on vulnerability and the kind of event experienced. It severely di…
Primary Care Pediatrics and Public Health
The proportion of children suffering from chronic illnesses—such as asthma and obesity, which have significant environmental components—is increasing. Chronic disease states previously seen only in adulthood are emerging during childhood, and health inequalities by social class are increasing. Advocacy to ensure environmental health and to protect from the biological embedding of toxic stress has become a fundamental part of pediatrics. We have p…

Environmental tobacco smoke exposure in the home and worksite and health effects in adults
This study demonstrates that never-smoking adults exposed to ETS report more acute health effects than unexposed, never-smoking adults, and suggests similar findings in current and former smoking adults
Environmental tobacco smoke exposure and health effects in children
Environmental tobacco smoke exposure in the home, which is completely preventable, is an important predictor of increased morbidity in children
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in naturalistic settings
BACKGROUND. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been identified as a risk factor for chronic disease among nonsmokers. Results of epidemiological surveys suggest that the majority of nonsmokers have regular ETS exposure. However, little is known about the topography of exposure. METHODS. An exposure diary was used by 186 nonsmokers to self-monitor ETS exposure over a 7-day period. Subjects also completed a questionnaire that assesse…
Surveillance for Adverse Health Effects Following a Chemical Release in West Virginia
On 11 August 1985, a large inadvertent release occurred from a chemical manufacturing plant in Institute, West Virginia. The emission was related to overheating of a storage tank that contained chemicals for the production of aldicarb, a cholinesterase inhibiting pesticide. As a result of this emission, 136 persons were treated in five local emergency rooms, 29 of whom were hospitalized for one or more days, mostly for observation. No fatalities …
