Social Ecology of Children’s Vulnerability to Environmental Pollutants
BACKGROUND The outcomes of exposure to neurotoxic chemicals early in life depend on the properties of both the chemical and the host's environment. When our questions focus on the toxicant, the environmental properties tend to be regarded as marginal and designated as covariates or confounders. Such approaches blur the reality of how the early environment establishes enduring biologic substrate...
متن کاملPollutants Hazard Potential and Environmental Vulnerability of Qarah Su River
The main purpose of the study is determination of the pollutants hazard potential as well as environmental vulnerability of Qarah Su River. First the most significant pollutant sources in the Qarah Su river watershed were identified and then accordingly the pollution hazard potential rate was calculated in Universal Ranking System Model setting. Then, by generalizing the algebraic sum of the re...
متن کاملSocial Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards
Objective. County-level socioeconomic and demographic data were used to construct an index of social vulnerability to environmental hazards, called the Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI) for the United States based on 1990 data. Methods. Using a factor analytic approach, 42 variables were reduced to 11 independent factors that accounted for about 76 percent of the variance. These factors were pl...

متن کاملSocial and Environmental Vulnerability to Emerging Infectious Diseases
Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) have been broadly defined as ‘diseases that have recently increased in incidence or geographic range, recently moved into new host populations, recently been discovered or are caused by newly-evolved pathogens’ (Daszak et al., 2001). In the past three decades, at least 40 EIDs have been identified, not including the regional resurgence of the widespread endem...
