Au cours de mon quatrième doctorat, j’ai effectué un stage à la maison médicale du Vieux-Molenbeek, située dans un quartier défavorisé. J’ai été très impressionné par le nombre de patients souvent de maladie allergique. Ces personnes se plaignaient souvent de la mauvaise qualité de leur logement. J’ai pu aussi me rendre compte les difficultés très diverses auxquelles étaient confrontées le praticien dans la prise en charge de cette maladie. Cette complexité m’a interpellé et m’a amené à réaliser ce travail.
La maladie allergique, classée par l’OMS au sixième rang mondial des grandes pathologies, est un véritable problème de santé publique. Actuellement, les maladies allergiques progressent de manière inquiétante au point que l’on prévoit un doublement du nombre d’asthmatiques dans dix ans en Europe occidentale. Son coût ne cesse d’augmenter et cette situation préoccupe le monde politique belge. L’environnement joue un rôle indéniable dans le domaine des maladies allergiques. Et l’influence de « l’indoor pollution » sur les maladies allergiques est plus que jamais d’actualité.
L’objectif de ce travail est de sensibiliser le médecin à l’influence de l’environnement sur les maladies allergiques et d’optimaliser la prise en charge par le médecin généraliste de patients défavorisés souffrant de maladies allergiques. En premier lieu, il est très important de bien connaître les facteurs environnementaux favorisant le développement des maladies allergiques. La problématique du logement dans les quartiers défavorisés doit être évoquée dans ce travail car la qualité de l’air intérieure dépende en partie de l’infrastructure du bâtiment. Ensuite, j’essayerai de démontrer les inégalités qui existent entre les personnes favorisées et défavorisées face aux maladies allergiques car c’est en comprenant ces inégalités qu’on saura agir efficacement sur la maladie. Enfin, le plus important est d’offrir aux médecins un outil qui lui permettre d’apporter aux patients des solutions adaptées à leurs moyens. La prise en charge d’un patient allergique est donc très globale et il est important pour le praticien de comprendre tous les facteurs qui peuvent jouer sur l’évolution de la maladie.

This volume represents a compendium of research conducted by international scholars who participated in the 2nd Symposium on Advances in Geospatial held during "The 5th International Conference on Medical Geology" in Arlington, Virginia, USA, in 2013. The research topics dealt with here mainly focus on the new scientific field of medical geology used to address a variety of human health issues and diseases specifically related to geological materials and earth-system processes. This volume will be of interest to those who wish to learn about current and historical health issues relating to geological materials or other environmental factors. It also represents a useful guide to learning the interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving in the field of medical geology.

"An accessible, authoritative guide to understanding the "silent spring" of threats in our collective backyard. More than 80,000 new chemicals have been developed and released into the global environment during the last four decades. Today the World Health Organization attributes more than one-third of all childhood deaths to environmental causes, and as rates of childhood disease skyrocket -- autism, asthma, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and even birth defects -- it raises serious, difficult questions around how the chemical environment is impacting children's health. Children and Environmental Toxins: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers an accessible guide to understanding and identifying the potential sources of harm in a child's environment. Written by experts in pediatrics and environmental health and formatted in an easy to follow question-and-answer format, it offers parents, care providers, and activists a reliable introduction to a hotly debated topic. As the burdens of environmental toxins and disease continue to defy borders, this book provides a new benchmark to understanding the potential threats in our environment and food. No parent or care provider should be without it"-- "Over the past four decades, the prevalence of autism, asthma, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and birth defects has increased substantially among children throughout the world. Not coincidentally, more than 80,000 new chemicals have been developed and released into the global environment during this same period. Today the World Health Organization attributes more than one third of all childhood deaths to environmental causes. Children and Environmental Toxins: What Everyone Needs to Know offers an authoritative yet accessible question-and-answer guide to the "silent spring" of environmental threats to children's health. As the burdens of environmental toxins and chronic disease continue to defy borders, this book will be an invaluable addition to the conspicuously sparse literature in this area"--
