Integrative Approaches in Environmental Health and Exposome Research
Research on the relationship between health and the environment in a postgenomic context is increasingly aimed at understanding the various exposures as a whole, simultaneously taking into account data pertaining to the biology of organisms and the physical and social environment. Exposome research is a paradigmatic case of this new trend in environmental health studies. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach focusing on the conceptual, epistemological, and sociological reflections in the latest research on environmental and social determinants of health and disease. It offers a combination of theoretical and practical approaches and the authors are scholars from a multidisciplinary background (epidemiology, geography, philosophy of medicine and biology, sociology). Crucially, the book balances the benefit and cost of the integration of biological and social factors when modelling aetiology of disease.
Toxic Cocktail
Children born to women exposed to thyroid-disrupting chemicals have lower IQs and more neurodevelopmental disorders in autism and ADHD, among others. Numerous chemicals that contaminate our bodies and interfere with our thyroids are in fact lowering our IQ and increasing disorders for future generations. A "self-help" guide to reducing exposure to chemicals is included.
Environmental Politics and Policy
Walter A. Rosenbaum′s classic Environmental Politics and Policy, Twelfth Edition, provides definitive coverage of environmental politics and policy, lively case material, and a balanced assessment of current environmental issues. The newly streamlined first half of the book sets needed context and describes the policy process, while the second half covers specific environmental issues such as air and water, toxic and hazardous substances, energy, and global policymaking on issues like climate change and trans-boundary politics. The Twelfth Edition includes updated case studies and a look at the transition in environmental policies between the Trump and Biden administrations, offering students a current and relevant look at the continuing challenge of reconciling sound science with practical politics.
Toxic Chemicals in America [2 volumes]
This one-stop resource is ideal for understanding the extent to which toxic chemicals are used in U.S. industry and agriculture—impacting public health and the environment through everything from industrial solvents to children's toys. Every year, about 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are generated and released by U.S. industries. Do these chemicals pose a potential health threat to American families, including vulnerable groups like children and the elderly? Is their manufacture and use adequately regulated to protect both human and environmental health? Is the Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, signed in June 2016 by President Barack Obama with bipartisan support, truly the fi...
Causes et conditions extérieures des maladies et de la santé
Les maladies infectieuses ont longtemps été la cause majeure de mortalité en Europe. Leur contrôle progressif a permis un allongement spectaculaire de l’espérance de vie et a laissé la place au règne des maladies chroniques (maladies cardiovasculaires et neurodégénératives, cancers). Sans nier l’influence de polymorphismes génétiques et des facteurs dits de « style de vie » (tabac, alcool, déséquilibres alimentaires, sédentarité), l’auteur montre comment les modifications de nos écosystèmes depuis les débuts de l’Anthropocène et notre environnement physico-chimique actuel (polluants organiques persistants, perturbateurs endocriniens) contribuent à la survenue d...
Libérate de tóxicos
UN MANIFIESTO CONTRA LOS CONTAMINANTES QUÍMICOS QUE AFECTAN A NUESTRA SALUD. ¿Qué son los disruptores endocrinos? ¿Cómo actúan? ¿Por qué en los últimos tiempos oímos hablar tanto de ellos? ¿Hasta qué punto pueden afectar a nuestra salud? ¿Y a la de nuestros hijos? ¿Están haciendo empresas, instituciones y gobiernos lo suficiente para evitar que sigamos estando expuestos a ellos? ¿Qué podemos hacer nosotros para evitarlos y proteger nuestra salud y la de nuestras familias? El Dr. Nicolás Olea, catedrático de Radiología y Medicina Física de la Universidad de Granada, dirige un grupo multidisciplinar que estudia medioambiente y salud, con especial atención a la relación e...

MENTIRAS TÓXICAS
La contaminación química es uno de los mayores problemas ambientales y sanitarios que afronta la humanidad. Pero, ¿nos protegen suficientemente las autoridades frente al riesgo de las sustancias tóxicas? Esta obra busca abrir los ojos de muchas personas que creen que todo esta perfectamente controlado, mostrándoles una realidad diferente, tan inquietante como apasionante. Basada en lo que dice la comunidad científica, es una obra demoledora que a nadie deja indiferente.
