Commission presses for health-data analysis after Arizona study; DHHS staffing, birth-registry gaps raised Commissioners urged DHHS and partners to compile health data and engage academic authors after a University of Arizona PFAS study; DHHS said staffing and federal grant uncertainty limit immediate public-facing work and recommended academic partnerships and inviting the study authors to explain methods.

Commissioners are demanding urgent action on health data analysis, calling out persistent gaps and the need for academic partnerships to tackle environmental health issues head-on.

Daily Microplastic Inhalation Rates Estimated in Study Using Raman spectroscopy and based on extrapolated concentrations measured in residential and car cabin environments, researchers found that adults may inhale up to 68,000 microplastic particles daily...

New estimates suggest adults may inhale up to 68,000 microplastic particles daily from indoor air. Most are in the 1 to 10 µm range—small enough to reach deep lung tissue. Higher levels were found in car cabins than in homes.

The importance of the #gutmicrobiome has recently been recognized. Our #environmentalexposure is similarly a factor in our health—call it the #exposome. For many diseases, it’s really the environment & exposome driving a lot of our risk & outcomes.

Research Suggests Ways to Avoid Exposure to “Obesogens” - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, June 14, 2018) With nearly 40% of Americans diagnosed as clinically obese, leading to health care costs estimated at over $200 billion, researchers are focusing on ways individuals can reduce their exposure to chemicals that contribute to weight gain regardless of diet or exercise. These chemicals, known as “obesogens,” include a range of consumer products, from pesticides to plastics and flame retardants. While diet and exercise remain critically important to fighting the ongoing obesity epidemic, obesogens may be working to increase appetite, fat storage, or make it more difficult for the body to shed fat once it is gained. In a presentation at the European Society for Endocrinology in Barcelona, researchers from the Universities of Aveiro and Beira Interior, Portugal identified ways these chemicals are entering our environment, and good habits to employ in order to reduce obesogen exposure. “Obesogens can be found almost everywhere, and our diet is a main source of exposure, as some pesticides and artificial sweeteners are obesogens. Equally, they are present in plastics and home products, so completely reducing exposure is extremely difficult – but to significantly reduce it is not only feasible, but also very simple”, lead researcher Ana Catarina Sousa, PhD, […]
