Abstract:

Field experiments showed the occurrence of such agrophages as the frit fly (Oscinella frit L.) and the European maize borer (Pyrausta nubilalis Hbn.). Identified diseases included fusariosis (Fusarium ssp.) and maize smut (Ustilago maydis Corda). The incidence of the frit fly was influenced by weather conditions, mainly temperature, in the period from sowing to the BBCH 15–16 phase. Moderate temperature conditions contributed to the occurrence of the pest. The significantly highest percentage of plants damaged by larvae of this pest was recorded on maize fertilised only with potassium (K) and phosphorus with potassium (PK). In turn, the lowest percentage of plants damaged by frit fly larvae was recorded for maize fertilised with nitrogen and potassium (NK). The percentage of plants damaged by the European maize borer was influenced by temperature and humidity conditions in individual years of the study. The highest percentage of plants damaged by larvae of the pest was found in the vegetation season characterised by the highest amount of rainfall with the lowest mean daily air temperature. The presence of potassium in a given fertiliser combination, the application of manure or combined application of manure and mineral fertilisation resulted in an enhanced resistance of maize plants to Fusarium ssp. fungi. The significantly greatest infestation of maize plants by the fungus Ustilago maydis Corda was recorded in the treatment in which only nitrogen was applied. In turn, the lowest percentage of plants with symptoms of this disease was recorded in the treatment with the application of potassium alone and in the application of potassium together with phosphorus.

Abstract:

The need to address the human health implications of northern development is well founded, and the role of health determinants in environmental impact assessment is increasingly recognised; however, there is limited understanding of the nature of health determinants and current practices in northern project assessment and decision making. This paper reports on a study of the nature and use of health determinants in Canadian northern environmental impact assessment, and discusses the key challenges to, and opportunities for, improved practice. Four themes emerged from this study. First, the consideration of health is limited to physical environments and the physical determinants of health, with limited attention to broader social and cultural health determinants. Second, when health is considered in northern project impact assessments such considerations rarely carry forward to post-project approval monitoring of health determinants and evaluation of health impact management programmes. Third, while there is general consensus that health determinants should be an integral part of northern impact assessment, there exist different expectations of the role of health determinants in project evaluation and decision making due in large part to different understandings and interpretations of health. Finally, a broader conceptualisation of health and health determinants in northern environmental impact assessment is required; one that takes into consideration northern cultures and knowledge systems, and is adaptive to local context, geography and life cycles.

Abstract:

Although the adverse health effects of poor indoor air quality on occupants from mold and dampness in indoor environments are well described, there is no reliable empirical tool to evaluate indoor mold and dampness levels in the home for use by the medical profession and health safety regulatory bodies. The economic impact to society approaches $40 billion a year in North America alone from the cost of health care and workplace lost productivity. Mobilizing corrective action necessitates an acceptable home environment evaluation method. This paper proposes a reliable empirical model and tool, the Holistic Environmental Assessment Lay Tool for Home Healthiness, and develops guidelines for its use as a tool to evaluate and rank mold and dampness related indoor environmental conditions associated with known respiratory health outcomes. HEALTH2 was calibrated using theoretical homes and then validated using data from 269 home evaluations where occupant health and the home environment factors were collected. Results suggest the model can be used as an early detection tool to assist in determining indoor environment risk factors associated with respiratory illness from mold and dampness. Empirical modeling and this tool can assist environmental professionals in determining improvement scenarios beyond general industry prescription and assist regulatory bodies in setting home health guidelines. The HEALTH2 model challenges the dominant view and suggests that damp and moldy environments are measurable and the impact to society is sufficient to necessitate prompt medical and regulatory action.

Abstract:

The proximity of water basins to anthropogenic sources of pollution affecting the state of nature also determines the need to study the ecosystems existing there. Fish are used as reliable indicators of pollution of the aquatic environment. Changes in the fish body make it possible to determine the toxicity of the contaminated water and the potential danger posed by anthropogenic substances that have entered it. In this regards, biomarkers are important assessment tools as they provide specific information on the biological effects of a particular toxicant. They can be used for monitoring purposes, as well as to clarify the link between the effects on the organism and the concentration of the contaminant in health risk assessment.

Abstract:

Environmental quality has a profound effect on health and the burden of disease. In the United States, the environment-related burden of disease is increasingly dominated by chronic diseases. At the local level, public health practitioners realize that many policy decisions affecting environmental quality and health transcend the authorities of traditional health department programs. Healthy decisions about the built environment, including housing, transportation, and energy, require broad collaborative efforts. Environmental health professionals have an opportunity to address the shift in public health burden toward chronic diseases and play an important role in the design of healthy communities by bringing data and tools to decision makers. This article provides a guide for community leaders to consider the public health effects of decisions about the built environment. We present a conceptual framework that represents a shift from compartmentalized solutions toward an inclusive systems approach that encourages partnership across disciplines and sectors. We discuss practical tools to assist with environmental decision making, such as Health Impact Assessments, environmental public health tracking, and cumulative risk assessment. We also identify priorities in research, practice, and education to advance the role of public health in decision making to improve health, such as the Health Impact Assessment, as a core competency for environmental health practitioners. We encourage cross-disciplinary communication, research, and education that bring the fields of planning, transportation, and energy in closer collaboration with public health to jointly advance the systems approach to today’s environmental challenges.

Abstract:

Introduction:The Health Technology Expert Review Panel is an advisory body to Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) that develops recommendations on health technology assessments (HTAs) for nondrug health technologies using a deliberative framework. The framework spans several domains, including the environmental impact of the health technology(ies). Our research objective was to identify articles on frameworks, methods or case studies on the environmental impact assessment of health technologies.Methods:A literature search in major databases and a focused gray literature search were conducted. The main search concepts were HTA and environmental impact/sustainability. Eligible articles were those that described a conceptual framework or methods used to conduct an environmental assessment of health technologies, and case studies on the application of an environmental assessment.Results:From the 1,710 citations identified, thirteen publications were included. Two articles presented a framework to incorporate environmental assessment in HTAs. Other approaches described weight of evidence practices and comprehensive and integrated environmental impact assessments. Central themes derived include transparency and repeatability, integration of components in a framework or of evidence into a single outcome, data availability to ensure the accuracy of findings, and familiarity with the approach used.Conclusions:Each framework and methods presented have different foci related to the ecosystem, health economics, or engineering practices. Their descriptions suggested transparency, repeatability, and the integration of components or of evidence into a single outcome as their main strengths. Our review is an initial step of a larger initiative by CADTH to develop the methods and processes to address the environmental impact question in an HTA.

Abstract:

The sugarcane industry is one of the industries that generated negatives impact on the environment. Therefore, it can be concluded that the sugarcane industry is not environmentally sustainable. The results of this research show that the use of electricity from bagasse cogeneration becomes the main contributor to all of damage categories. Meanwhile, the highest contribution to damage categories is human health with a total score of 59%. The results of this research are expected to reduce the environmental impact produced by PT. X so that PT. X will be more environmentally sustainable.

Abstract:

In the European Union, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive (2014/52/EU) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive (2011/92/EU) emphasise the assessment of population and human health. The directives require health to be considered within Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). To date, health is mainly considered in connection with negative environmental factors and in terms of risk assessments. The integration of health in EIA as well as SEA has not been investigated in a Danish context, and this study aims to address the missing knowledge. There is a need for a more comprehensive health assessment within EIA and SEA to comply with the EIA and SEA directives. An integration of health into EIA and SEA will ensure a sound examination of health determinants which can improve decision making and thus comprehensively promote and protect health. To establish the status of the inclusion of the assessment of impacts on health into EIA and SEA, a literature review was performed. In addition, a survey addressed to researchers and practitioners was conducted and analysed through a comparative analysis. The survey examined the needs of practitioners and researchers, focusing on the Danish context, regarding the inclusion of health into EIA and SEA. Enhanced intersectoral cooperation of the health and environmental sectors, more specific guidance documents, and underlying this, stronger political support, were identified among needs for more comprehensive health assessments.

Abstract:

The National Environmental Policy Act and related state laws require many public agencies to analyze and disclose potentially significant environmental effects of agency actions, including effects on human health. In this paper we review the purpose and procedures of environmental impact assessment (EIA), existing regulatory requirements for health effects analysis, and potential barriers to and opportunities for improving integration of human health concerns within the EIA process. We use statutes, regulations, guidelines, court opinions, and empirical research on EIA along with recent case examples of integrated health impact assessment (HIA)/EIA at both the state and federal level. We extract lessons and recommendations for integrated HIA/EIA practice from both existing practices as well as case studies. The case studies demonstrate the adequacy, scope, and power of existing statutory requirements for health analysis within EIA. The following support the success of integrated HIA/EIA: a proponent recognizing EIA as an available regulatory strategy for public health; the openness of the agency conducting the EIA; involvement of public health institutions; and complementary objectives among community stakeholders and health practitioners. We recommend greater collaboration among institutions responsible for EIA, public health institutions, and affected stakeholders along with guidance, resources, and training for integrated HIA/EIA practice.

Abstract:

Aim: This paper aims to understand how the concept of risk and risk governance can be best articulated and integrated into Indonesia’s SEA. Attention regarding health risks emerging from human interactions with the physical environment has increased in Sustainable Development and Planning (SDP). Methodology and Results: Strategic Environment Assessment (SEA) is the current context-based methodology addressing environmental and health risks of development planning in many countries. Environmental and health risk assessment (EHRA) is an integrated part of the SEA. EHRA, as a field of science, has evolved towards specific needs in many sectors, e.g. dose-response, quantitative microbial risk assessment, ecological risk assessment. The main challenge is how to determine the suitable EHRA approaches and translate the fact-based EHRA into risk-informed strategies in SDP. In Indonesia, the SEA is mandatory for regional planning documents. However, there is limited guidelines and application on EHRA in SEA. Through a meta-analysis, we reviewed scholarly articles published from 2009 to 2019 available in Google Scholar that report the concepts and implementation of EHRA and SEA in various countries. Conclusion, significance and study impact: This study has significant implications for the understanding of risk governance in SDP.

Abstract:

The paper considers environmental and health assessment of the soil cover quality in Bratsk, the Irkutsk Region. The purpose of the research: environmental and health assessment of soil pollution impact on the public health when exposed to chemicals formed during aluminium production. The method of analyzing the total fluoride content (in mg/kg of soil) on the horizons of 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm is used; a volume of the oral, inhaled, and cutaneous intake of this substance from the soil is assessed. Based on the risk assessment of multi-mediated exposure to chemicals, a quantitative characteristic of the total intake of fluoride compounds is given. It’s been found that of all the sampling points in Bratsk, the most contaminated with fluoride compounds is the village of Chekanovsky (the maximum content is 1,722 mg/kg); the soils of the village of Padun are less polluted (the maximum content is 48 mg/kg). The total average daily intake of fluoride compounds for the adult is determined, the values of them don’t exceed the human’s need for fluoride when calculated per kg/body weight. The most sensitive group to environmental pollution, including soil, by fluoride compounds, is children.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:In the age of limited resources, hospital managers confront the need to strictly balance resource allocation at their disposal between drugs, wages, purchases and operation costs. This entails an endless search for creative pathways to efficiently merge the trends to preserve the environment.A “green” hospital is an entity that is planned, built and operated so as to minimize the ‘ecological footprint’: for example, saving energy by utilizing natural light; recycling water, paper or waste; and using insulation and soundproofing (1).‘Evidence-based environmental design’, a new approach to advanced building techniques, is gaining momentum worldwide. It synergizes with additional trends: promoting quality, improving potential utility, raising the accountability of hospital workers and involving the public and patients in overcoming health system dilemmas.The aim was to analyze the standpoints of professionals in health and architecture regarding environmental accountability, in comparison to public opinion, and enhance the dialogue between these three groups to create wise decision making toward improvements in the health system.METHODS:A structured questionnaire was prepared to examine environmental responsibility, focusing on hospital contours. The questionnaire was distributed among three groups to be completed anonymously: hospital employees (physicians and medical managers), professionals from the field of architecture and the general public. The distribution was via the internet and to the general public through a social network using the “snowball” mechanism.RESULTS:Distribution of the survey raised debates on the subject. We compared the views of 178 respondents (80 healthcare professionals, 47 from the field of architecture and 51 from the general public). Demographic and other criteria included age, gender, profession, priority setting, concepts of environmental responsibility and social values. Physicians prioritized economic factors as the main barrier (more than architects or the general public) and marked internal incentives as key factors. Environmental responsibility correlated with high quality of care and service among healthcare workers.CONCLUSIONS:Logistics and physical infrastructure interventions can enhance economic effectiveness. Moreso, they can initiate social and environmental responsibility and increase the level of confidentiality regarding the accountability of their managers towards quality-targeted work surroundings.

Abstract:

Most hazardous-waste sites are located in urban areas populated by disproportionate numbers of children, minorities, and poor people who, as a result, face more severe pollution threats and environmental-health inequalities. Partly to address this harm, in 2017 the United Nations unanimously endorsed the New Urban Agenda, which includes redeveloping urban-infill-toxic-waste sites. However, no systematic, independent analyses assess the public-health adequacy of such hazardous-facility redevelopments. Our objective is to provide a preliminary data-quality assessment (PDQA) of urban-infill-toxic-site testing, conducted by private redevelopers, including whether it adequately addresses pollution threats. To this end, we used two qualitative, weight-of-evidence methods. Method 1 employs nine criteria to select assessments for PDQA and help control for confounders. To conduct PDQA, Method 2 uses three US Environmental Protection Agency standards—the temporal, geographical, and technological representativeness of sampling. Our Method 1 results reveal four current toxic-site assessments (by CBRE/Trammell Crow, the world’s largest commercial developer); at all of these sites the main risk drivers are solvents, volatile organic compounds, including trichloroethylene. Our Method 2 results indicate that all four assessments violate most PDQA standards and systematically underestimate health risk. These results reveal environmental injustice, disproportionate health threats to children/minorities/poor people at all four sites. Although preliminary, our conclusion is that alleviating harm and environmental-health inequalities posed by urban-infill-toxic-site pollution may require improving both the testing/cleanup/redevelopment requirements of the New Urban Agenda and the regulatory oversight of assessment and remediation performed by private redevelopers.
