Abstract

Many reproductive and developmental health problems are caused by exposure to chemicals that are widely dispersed in our environment. These problems include infertility, miscarriage, poor pregnancy outcomes, abnormal fetal development, early puberty, endometriosis, and diseases and cancers of reproductive organs. The compelling nature of the collective science has resulted in recognition of a new field of environmental reproductive health. Focusing on exposures to environmental contaminants, particularly during critical periods in development and their potential effects on all aspects of future reproductive life-course, this book provides the first comprehensive source of information bringing together the arguments that are spread out among various scientific disciplines in environmental health, clinical and public health fields. It provides a review of the science in key areas of the relationship between environmental contaminants and reproductive health outcomes, and recommendations on efforts toward prevention in clinical care and public policy.

Abstract

Nombre d'idées fausses circulent sur les effets des rayonnements non ionisants sur notre santé. Elles conduisent à une simplification excessive, à des amalgames fâcheux ou à une analyse parfois orientée des données. Les effets peuvent être alors exagérés ou plus grave, minimisés. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage (médecins, ingénieurs ou chercheurs) se sont attachés à fournir au public une information scientifique validée, facilement compréhensible et raisonnée sur les champs électromagnétiques et leurs effets biologiques et sanitaires. Après un rappel général sur la physique des ondes et une présentation des rayonnements non ionisants, les auteurs font le point sur les principales sources d'émission rencontrées dans un environnement quotidien. Ils résument simplement, mais le plus fidèlement possible les connaissances actuelles sur leurs effets biologiques et les limites d'exposition recommandées par les organismes internationaux pour pouvoir les utiliser en sécurité. Conçu comme un livre à tiroirs, chacun pourra s'immerger en fonction de sa curiosité et de son niveau de connaissances. Ce n'est ni un catalogue exhaustif de toutes les études faites à ce jour, ni une réduction de l'état des connaissances à quelques études choisies. L'objectif n'est pas non plus de présenter toutes les sources de rayonnements non ionisants. Le lecteur intéressé pourra s'il le souhaite, approfondir ses connaissances en consultant les sélections bibliographiques présentées par les auteurs à la fin de chaque chapitre.

Abstract

Examine the Current State of the ScienceSurface water sampling programs across the globe have shown the presence of many different classes of medicines. The potential risks associated with the release of these medicines into the environment have become an increasingly important issue for environmental regulators. Effects of Veterinary Medicines in the Environment examines the current state of the science in evaluating the potential risks of veterinary medicines to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.International Panel Provide Guidance<

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : " La perception du risque est devenue en quelques décennies un sujet majeur de connaissance théorique et pratique s’affirmant comme un élément central de l’analyse du risque et encore plus actuellement avec l’émergence d’un nouveau risque l’épidémie/pandémie de la Covid-19. Face à l’expertise organisée par les pouvoirs publics chacun réagit à travers sa perception du risque qui est une évaluation subjective fondée sur ses croyances son expérience et surtout sur ses émotions. Parmi ces émotions la peur est le principal déterminant des comportements face au risque. À la croisée des sciences sociales de l’épidémiologie et de la santé publique cet ouvrage a pour objectif d’en poser les fondamentaux d’en analyser les impacts et d’aider à la prise de décision. Il s’appuie sur les principaux travaux et recherches internationales publiés des exemples concrets (VIH vache folle chikungunya grippe A/HINI…) et un chapitre conclusif spécifiquement sur la Covid-19. À ce titre il s’adresse aux professionnels et décideurs de santé publique aux médecins experts et chercheurs travaillant sur les risques de toutes natures mais également à tous ceux qui souhaitent disposer de connaissances sur les dynamiques des comportements face au risque."

Abstract

Ecotoxiclogical risk from multiple stressors covers any situation where org- isms are exposed to a combination of environmental stressors. These include physical and chemical pollutants as well as other stressors such as parasites and environmental impact (e. g. , climate change or habitat loss). The combi- tion of stressors can result in increased risk to organisms (either additive or synergistic effects) or decreased effects (protective or antagonistic effects). The multiple stressor challenge is an international, multi-disciplinary problem requiring an international, multi-disciplinary approach. The c- rent approach to multiple stressors is to examine one stressor at a time and assume additivity. Little work has been done on combinations of stressors such that potential interactions can be determined. The problem is very complex. Multiple stressors pose a whole spectrum of challenges that range from basic science to regulation, policy and gove- ance. The challenges raise fundamental questions about our understanding of the basic biological response to stressors, as well as the implications of those uncertainties in environmental risk assessment and management. In addition to the great breadth, there is also great depth in the research ch- lenges, largely due to the complexity of the issues. From a basic science point of view, many of the mechanisms and processes under investigation are at the cutting edge of science — involving new paradigms such as genomic ins- bility and bystander effects.
