Traditional covert influence of industry on occupational and environmental health policies has turned brazenly overt in the last several years.
More than ever before the OEH community is witnessing the perverse influence and increasing control by industry interests. Government has failed to support independent, public health-oriented practitioners and their organizations, instead joining many corporate endeavors to discourage efforts to protect the health of workers and the community. International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health [PDF]. 2 March 2007. More...
Science Byte: Environmental chemicals can interfere with brain development during critical periods, thereby impacting sensory, motor, and cognitive function.
But establishing cause and effect in people is a research nightmare. Regulation in the US essentially requires proof of harm rather than proof of safety. Interdisciplinary scientific exploration is essential to address this significant public and mental health threat. American Psychologist. 5 May 2005. More...
Industry responses to new science and policy initiatives on bisphenol A, an endocrine-disrupting molecule that leaches from polycarbonate plastic, are based on highly flawed misrepresentations of current scientific knowledge.
The compound is now linked by animal experiments to a wide array of health effects following exposure to extremely low doses. Public comments from the American Council on Science and Health and junkscience.com contain blatant errors that reveal a lack of scientific understanding. 30 April 2005. More...
The consequences of exposure to many other chemicals or mixtures of chemicals, such as insecticides—chemicals oftentimes specifically designed to be toxic—are largely unknown.
Many of these chemicals or their metabolites are routinely found in the blood and body fluids of pregnant women and children. Exposures to environmental toxins have been linked with higher rates of mental retardation, intellectual impairment, and behavioral problems, as well as preterm birth, low birth weight and spontaneous abortion. PLOS Medicine. 29 March 2005. More...
