For health-promoting environments

@IARCWHO @CancerAustralia . Geographic cancer hot spots (kidney cancer, blood cancer) are sex-specific. Metalloestrogens include (Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn,V) Arsenic promotes melanoma metastasis. Adequate sunlight prescriptions reduce women's risk of breast cancer and brain cancer

The 68th Session of the IARC Governing Council will take place on 27–28 May 2026 in Lyon, France, and online as a hybrid meeting. This session of the Governing Council is chaired by Professor Dorothy Keefe, CEO of @CancerAustralia. iarc.who.int/news-events/ia…

Happy Wednesday everyone! Zingy orange azaleas from @Dorothyclive 🧡 Have a lovely day 🧡

#sustainability #ecology #education #health #teaching #biology #curriculum Poor-quality education means that many school students have not been adequately taught about the health effects of inhaling - diesel exhaust, - NO2 (exhaust fumes, gas appliances), - or benzene. .

#sustainability #health #agedcare Prevention of cancer and dementia requires monitoring and addressing toxic metals, persistent pollutants, air pollutants, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, toxic gut and liver metabolites (LPS, indoxyl sulfate) the 24h cortisol-melatonin rhythm.

@JAMA_current @JAMAPsych . ADHD, autism, autoimmune diseases, and chronic fatigue: 1. Familial phenotype 2. Multigenerational exposure to industrial/mining/agricultural pollution and epigenetic changes 3. Prenatal, childhood and ongoing exposure to pollutants and insufficient sunlight.

What is behind the rise in #autism diagnoses? Join Jeremy Veenstra-VanderWeele, MD, and @JAMAPsych Editor Dost Öngür, MD, PhD, as they discuss the history of autism spectrum disorder, the role that genetics and environmental factors play, the importance of early intervention in treatment, and more with JAMA Senior Editor Derek Angus, MD, MPH. ja.ma/42T8BdU

#ecology #MND #biomarkers #health The risk of ALS (MND, motor neurone disease) is associated with blood levels of persistent organic pollutants, such as PCBs and pesticides (OCPs), particularly a mixture of α-HCH, HCB, trans-nonachlor, cis-nonachlor. . jnnp.bmj.com/content/95/3/2…

#health #agedcare #ecology #publichealth #oncology #sustainability Cancer proliferation is promoted by cadmium, aluminium, methylmercury, benzene, HCB, PFHxS, atrazine, permethrin, phthalates, bisphenol F/S, benzophenone-1. These must be monitored in preventive healthcare.

@IARCWHO @EU_EWAC @EU_Commission @cancercode . Diesel exhaust, benzene, arsenic, and cadmium are examples of Group 1 carcinogens. Tissue concentrations of carcinogens and their metabolites must be documented in patients' health records.

#MND #neurology #health c-Src and IL-8 promote cancer progression and neurodegeneration. c-Src is increased by pesticides (HCB, chlorpyrifos, paraquat), PCBs and TCDD (dioxin). c-Src is the primary signalling mediator of PCB-induced IL-8 expression academic.oup.com/toxsci/article…

#MND #ALS #neurology #sustainability #publichealth Ethical health systems monitor exposure to environmental pollutants. (HCB increases c-Src.) Pre-disease hexachlorobenzene (HCB) plasma level is associated with higher ALS (motor neurone disease) risk. . sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@WHO . Healthy ageing requires biomonitoring of pollutants in preventive healthcare and identifying and addressing sources of exposure, to prevent bioaccumulation in tissues and organs.

Caring well for older people is about understanding the whole person, from how they feel to where they live. Learn about integrated care and how it helps people live, thrive, and stay independent.

Sweet William and hesperis, quite an unusual colour 💐

Warm in the garden already, a few thirsty plants given a drink, so everything’s set for another hot one. The gardens an absolute picture, time to sit and enjoy it. Have a great day everyone #SixonSaturday #MyGarden🌸

The main image for my #SixOnSaturday this week is a view of the garden with Wallflower Cotswold Something in the foreground. Then yellow iris 'unknownii', Allium 'Evereste', purple iris 'unknownii', Allium 'Purple Sensation', and Rosa 'Handel'. Happy weekend ☀️

Morning 👋 Another scorchio day 😎 and I’m cooking a roast dinner! 🥵😂 Have a great Sunday all 😊🌸🌿 I treated myself to the Primula vialii (middle photo) this week 😁 #flowers #gardening #sevenonsunday
