Pesticide User’s “Take-Home,” Other Nonoccupational Residues Raise Household Exposure Alarm - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog A review of pesticide exposure from a family member working in agriculture finds that pesticide levels in the home are elevated between 2.6- and 3.7-times.

A review reexamines a quantitative analysis on #nontarget, “active-ingredient-specific” #exposure to #pesticides from multiple pathways, applying new criteria to AHS spousal exposure to #chlorpyrifos and #atrazine. #NIH #NIEHS Yale School of Public Health ➡️ Blog: https://ow.ly/zTRk50Yzefb

The Unlikely New Director of U.S. Environmental Health Research Kyle Walsh’s appointment to head the NIEHS, a $914-million public agency, is unprecedented. What is on his agenda?

Vance's unqualified bestie in his new role as chief of National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, #NIEHS “a unique and exciting NIH institute with a lot of potential to grow.”

Duke professor, JD Vance friend named director of NIH’s RTP office. Some see issue. JD Vance officiated at his wedding. Now, Kyle Walsh is the director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences after atypical selection process.

Looks like the #NIH is going to appoint a number of political appointees as Directors of various institutes, bypassing the normal hiring process eg. NIEHS #RAdminSky #NIEHS www.newsobserver.com/news/busines...

Though #NIEHS / #NTP say more #RF health studies are needed, last year they quietly closed down their entire RF research program.

#NIEHS / #NTP describe a prototype for a small-scale #RF exposure system to investigate toxicological effects.
Studies are needed, they advise, given widespread human exposure to RF radiation from cell phones.

Research cuts conflict with MAHA's stated goals Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is calling for efforts to limit Americans' exposure to toxic substances. But the Trump administration is also taking actions that run counter to this goal.

At last: a closer look at the hypocrisy of MAHA rhetoric, as they say what work needs to be done while blocking support for that very same work.

Citing N.I.H. Cuts, a Top Science Journal Stops Accepting Submissions (Gift Article) With federal support, Environmental Health Perspectives has long published peer-reviewed studies without fees to readers or scientists.

A top environmental health journal is halting new submissions due to #NIH cuts. When science gets sidelined, public health pays the price. Sadly, this feels all too familiar...

Low dose exposure to dioxins alters hepatic energy metabolism and steatotic liver disease development in a sex-specific manner - PubMed "Dioxins" are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are continuously present in the environment at appreciable levels and have been associated with increased risk of steatotic liver disease (SLD)....

Recent publication from Banrida Wahlang and Oluwanifemi Esther Bolatimi, et al. suggests dioxins affect females more than males, causing liver problems and raising concerns about the risks of long-term exposure to these pollutants. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39577358/
