Opis:: When it comes to public health, the issue of environmental health is worth clarifying and analysing more extensively, which may be of interest to lawyers. At the same time, in respect of public law, which may be of interest to the representatives of fields of sciences other than law, it is necessary to define terms in the sphere of legal protection of environmental elements. Such an analysis will lead us indisputably to the idea of health environmental law, which creates legal instruments for the implementation of environmental health demands. The text’s first part introduces the concept and evolution of public health as well as the idea of new public health that emerges from it. The second part focuses on indicating the place in public health which is occupied by the environmental strands that form the concept of environmental health and on presenting its characteristics. The third and final part presents the conception of health environmental law as a research area at the borderline between environmental law, as defined in this part, and environmental health, as defined earlier. The whole ends with conclusions de lege lata and postulates de lege ferenda. The work is based on national and foreign literature on public health, environmental law and environmental management. Legal status current as of 30 April 2023.

Opis:: Introduction and objective. Occupational asbestos exposure is one of the major public health issues. Although asbestos use in Poland has decreased, asbestosis continues to remain an important health concern in the area of occupational medicine. The aim of the study is to perform a descriptive analysis of hospitalization cases in patients suffering from asbestosis in Poland. Materials and method. The authors used hospital discharge records to conduct a retrospective, population-based study. To estimate the asbestosis hospitalization rate, data from the Nationwide General Hospital Morbidity Study conducted by the National Institute of Public Health were used. Events were defined as in-patient hospital discharges during 2006–2016. 1,101 hospitalization records of 764 patients were included in the study. Results. In the study group of first-time hospitalized patients, the mean and median ages were 68.1 and 69 years, respectively; CI: 67.3–68.9; SD: 11.1, min-max:16–99 years. In this group, significant gender differences were observed (560 males vs. 204 female; P<0.001). No statistical differences were observed regarding the place of residence. During the observation period, 61 in-hospital deaths were reported (8% of all patients), 40 of whom (5.2 % of all patients) took place during the first-time hospitalizations. Asbestosis hospitalizations were mainly clustered in the south-western region, whereas the highest hospitalization rates were clustered in several areas of Poland. Conclusions. The authors believe this study to be the first evaluation of asbestosis in Poland made on the basis of the hospital morbidity database. The data presented may be helpful in comparative studies on the epidemiology of asbestosis across European countries.

Opis:: The call for a more environmentally conscious society is an emerging issue in today’s modern world. Globally, critical concerns about computing and e-waste recycling practices have been raised in recent times. Global warming among other environmental damages caused by computing and inappropriate e-waste management has stimulated the need to rethink environmental impact of information and communication technology. The environmental health consequences of exposure to huge carbon footprints, electromagnetic radiation, and warming heat during computing and environmental contamination during recycling activities in the informal sector are both potentially severe to the ecosystem. Hinged on recent literatures, this article holistically considers the consequence of computing, injudicious dumping of e-waste and inappropriate e-waste recycling practices and offers an understanding of environmentally sound remediation measures to circumvent this menace.

Wydawca:: SPRINGER
Cytata wydawnicza:: Pawełczyk A., Božek F. - Health risk associated with airborne asbestos, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment (2015) 187:428 DOI 10.1007/s10661-015-4614-3
Opis:: The paper presents an assessment of health risks associated with air polluted with respirable asbestos fibers in towns of southwest Poland. The aim of the work was to determine whether or not any prevention measures are necessary in order to reduce the level of exposure to the pollutant. The risk assessment was carried out based on the air analyses and the latest asbestos toxicity data published by the Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), USA and Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). It was found that in some sites the concentration of the asbestos fibers exceeded the acceptable levels, which should be a reason of special concern. The highest concentration of asbestos was found in town centers during the rush hours. In three spots the calculated maximum health risk exceeded 1E-04 which is considered too high according to the adopted standards. So far, it has not yet been possible to find a reasonable method of ensuring the hazard reduction.

Opis:: Pesticides, in general, are chemical substances (synthetic or natural) used in agriculture to control harmful or undesirable organisms in order to protect crops. Health effects may affect people directly exposed to pesticides, including spray workers, residents of areas requiring chemical protection, and people eating food contaminated with pesticide residues. The aim of the study: the aim of the study is to demonstrate possible adverse health effects associated with exposure to pesticides, as well as to systematize knowledge and supplement it with the latest search results. Study methods: Epidemiological studies on the relationship between pesticide exposure and risk of adverse health effects were reviewed. The paper uses biblimetrics considering the years 2011-2021, and covering pesticide use and its health effects. A literature review was conducted by searching PubMed, Google Scholar database. The criterion of selecting entries aligned with the set subject matter was applied to carry out analyses of bibliographic data. Results: There is a constant interest in environmental pollution by pesticides and their impact on health, regardless of the route of entry (inhalation, ingestion or dermal). Scientific reports show the negative impact of pesticides on health resulting in cancer, miscarriages, early births, effects on the foetus causing developmental delays and poisoning due to their residues in food. Conclusions: It is necessary to apply pesticides as recommended and to monitor surface and groundwater and food. In order to minimize the health effects of exposure to pesticides, it is reasonable to conduct health and environmental education among farmers and professional users. For occupational exposure to pesticides, the use of personal protective equipment is unconditional.

Opis:: A network of pediatric environmental health specialty units (PEHSUs) in the United States was formed in 1998 out of a recognized need for clinical expertise in children’s environmental health. Documented trends in a rise of pediatric diseases caused or exacerbated by environmental conditions, coupled with the failure of medical schools and residency programs to cover these issues in a significant way, leaves health care providers, parents, communities, and governments at a loss for this specialized knowledge. The PEHSUs fill this gap by providing: 1) medical education, 2) general outreach and communications, and 3) consultative services to communities and health care professionals. This paper presents examples of key situations where PEHSU involvement was instrumental in improved patient outcomes or advancing clinical expertise in children’s environmental health. Challenges and opportunities for future directions for the program are also discussed.
Sieć Pediatrycznych Specjalistycznych Poradni Medycyny Środowiskowej (PEHSU) w Stanach Zjednoczonych została utworzona w 1998 roku w wyniku uznania konieczności przeprowadzania ekspertyz w zakresie zdrowia środowiskowego dzieci. Udokumentowane trendy wzrostu chorób dzieci wywołanych lub zaostrzonych przez czynniki środowiskowe i nakładający się równocześnie niedostatek programów nauczania z tego zakresu w szkołach medycznych lub w czasie rezydentury spowodowały brak tej specjalistycznej wiedzy wśród pracowników opieki zdrowotnej, rodziców, społeczności i władz. PEHSU wypełniają ten brak wykonując: 1) edukację medyczną, 2) promocję zdrowia środowiskowego 3) porady konsultacyjne dla społeczności i dla pracowników ochrony zdrowia. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono najważniejsze przykłady, kiedy udział PEHSU był instrumentem dla polepszenia stanu zdrowia albo postępu ekspertyzy klinicznej w zakresie zdrowia środowiskowego.

Opis:: Objectives: The World Health Organization (WHO) provides data on national indices of health, environment and economy. When we were asked, why air pollution is negatively correlated with cancer mortality, our first response (presumably the mortality data are not age-adjusted) was not sufficient to explain the paradox. Material and Methods: A table including all-cause, cancer and childhood mortality, life expectancy, gross national product per person, smoking prevalence, physician density and particulate matter (PM₁₀) per country (N = 193) was developed. For explorative purposes weighted cross-sectional multiple linear regressions models were built. Results: Air pollution is positively correlated with infant and overall mortality and negatively with life expectancy. This might not only depict a true causal effect of PM₁₀ because air quality is also an indicator of a country’s prosperity and general state of environment. Cancer mortality is negatively correlated with PM₁₀. However, this association turns positive when economic or health system indicators are controlled. Conclusions: The World Health Organization’s world-wide data sets demonstrate the large disparity of our world. A careful and professional approach is needed as interpretation is difficult, especially for lay persons. Therefore, with publicly available data WHO should also provide interpretation and guidance.

Opis:: Excessive chemical input in rice management systems has an impact on reducing soil quality and rice quality. The research that links soil quality with rice quality is needed to produce recommendations for improving rice cultivation to make healthy rice. This study aimed to determine the index values of soil and rice quality in organic, semi-organic, and conventional paddy fields as well as their relationship to formulate recommendations for land improvement. This research used descriptive explorative methods and purposive sampling to determine the soil and rice samples. This data was then analyzed according to the method for determining the soil quality index and rice quality based on principal component analysis. The results reveal low soil and rice quality in various rice cultivation systems. Organic management of paddy fields has the highest index among other cultivation systems, with a value of 0.36, and tends to approach the moderate index. For the rice quality values, the organic system of paddy fields has the highest value (0.28) and tends to come with the status of moderate rice quality. There is a very significant correlation between soil quality and rice (r=0.80; p-value <0.001; n=54), that high-quality soil will produce high-quality rice too. The soil and rice quality in the organic system are the best compared to other systems. This condition proves that applying organic materials can increase soil quality and improve the quality of rice.

Opis:: Some practices such as fertilisation and pesticide use are carried out in order to obtain high yields in agricultural production. However, as a result of these practices, agricultural pollutants may occur as a result of incorrect agricultural practices. Problems such as water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, nutrient imbalance, salination in soils, eutrophication in waters, beneficial microorganisms in soils and damage to human and animal health occur due to faulty fertilisation and pesticide applications, misuse of agricultural soils, and inaccuracies in the disposal of plastic wastes. In this study, the literature on agricultural polluting factors was examined and it was aimed to raise awareness about agricultural pollution by explaining the harms of agricultural polluting factors to the environment and the health of living beings and by trying to offer solutions. Within the scope of this targeted awareness, this study; It is aimed to raise the awareness of producers in future production processes and to provide a stepping stone for scientific studies on this subject.
