“…“Some genetic factors may modulate the sensitivity to lead, and there have been several genes that have been identified that can influence the accumulation and toxicokinetics of lead in humans 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ,” says Jay Schneider, a professor of pathology, anatomy, and cell biology at Thomas Jefferson University, who was not involved in the current study. These genes are not targets of lead toxicity; rather, they influence the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of lead.…”

What do tomorrow’s doctors need to learn about ecosystems? – A BEME Systematic Review: BEME Guide No. 36

To prepare for roles as health care workers and leaders, medical students must learn about relationships between ecosystems, health and health care. The Education for Sustainable Healthcare framework outlines essential knowledge and attitudes but requires addition of practical competencies. Further research should explore the framework's relevance in different contexts, in order to structure training accordingly.

Living near landfills is a known health hazard prompting recognition of environmental injustice. The study aim was to compare self-reported symptoms of ill health among residents of four neighborhoods, living in haphazardly constructed settlements surrounded by illegal dumpsites in Tijuana, Mexico. One adult from each of 388 households located in Los Laureles Canyon were interviewed about demographics, health status, and symptoms. Distance from each residence to both the nearest dumpsite and the canyon bottom was assessed. The neighborhoods were selected from locations within the canyon, and varied with respect to proximity to dump sites. Residents of San Bernardo reported significantly higher frequencies of ill-health symptoms than the other neighborhoods, including extreme fatigue (OR 3.01 (95% CI 1.6–5.5)), skin problems/irritations (OR 2.73 (95% CI 1.3–5.9)), stomach discomfort (OR 2.47 (1.3–4.8)), eye irritation/tears (OR 2.02 (1.2–3.6)), and confusion/difficulty concentrating (OR 2.39 (1.2–4.8)). Proximity to dumpsites did not explain these results, that varied only slightly when adjusted for distance to nearest dumpsite or distance to the canyon bottom. Because San Bernardo has no paved roads, we hypothesize that dust and the toxicants it carries is a possible explanation for this difference. Studies are needed to further document this association and sources of toxicants.
