Media Spotlight
| The Unseen Spill: The Human and Reproductive Health Catastrophe of Toxic "Hot Spots" in the Gulf Region by Kimberly Inez McGuire, Senior Associate, Programs and Policy, Reproductive Health Technologies Project
As I learn more about the reproductive health threats posed by toxic chemicals
in everyday products, I sometimes find the issue hard to explain to my
friends and family. When someone looks at a water bottle, a can of
soup, a cash register receipt, an air freshener, or a rubber ducky,
they can have trouble believing that these things have chemicals in
them that are bad for our health. After all, they don't smell toxic, they don't look
like "synthetic industrial chemicals" - which I always imagine as the vat
of bright green ooze the Joker fell into before he became a villain.
But sometimes, looks can be deceiving.
In other cases, the toxic truth is more plainly visible. Today, I am watching the now-famous live feed
of the BP/Deepwater Horizon oil "spill" gushing into the Gulf. I am
jolted by the power of the image, and the emotional response it evokes.
I feel helpless, bewildered, and angry. Why can't we figure out how to
stop this? How far will the effects of the oil reach before we can halt
its advance? And most frustratingly---how did we get here?
The story emerging from the headlines is that the spill was the
result of a deadly combination of corporate greed and malfeasance and
inadequate government oversight, which aggravated the inherent danger
of dredging toxic sludge from deep in the earth through a mile of ocean.
Still, it is impossible to talk about this most recent devastation in
the Gulf without placing it in the context of the region's disturbing
history of environmental racism and injustice. Link to the full blog

erratic work schedules are pushing young women to early menopause. Bangalore Mirror, India. 23 July 2010.
People who live in houses with higher levels of flame retardant
chemicals in the dust have themselves higher levels of the chemicals in
their blood, a finding that implicates dust as a major exposure source
for the compounds. Prior studies point to dust and food as major
sources of exposure to PBDE chemicals. While some foods do harbor
PBDEs, eating and breathing dust appears to be the main source of
exposure in the United States. 23 July 2010. More...
Male fetuses ignore their stressed-out mothers.
Male fetuses ignore their mothers' response to stress - unlike females,
which are very sensitive to it. The finding could lead to better
treatments for male fetuses at risk of premature birth. New Scientist. 21 July 2010.
Study links household cleaning products to breast cancer.
The regular use of basic cleaning products in the home may double the
risk of women developing breast cancer, a U.S. study found. Fox News. 21 July 2010.

The first Emirati woman gynaecologist believes that more men are
becoming infertile today and women are marrying later in life and
having fewer children. Dubai Gulf News, United Arab Emirates. 5 July 2010. Mom's age at puberty may influence kids' size.
Why are some children taller than others? It seems their height might
be linked at least partly to how old - or young - their mom was when
she got her first menstrual period. A new study suggests that the
earlier a woman reached this milestone of puberty, called menarche, the
slightly faster her kids will grow. Reuters Health. 2 July 2010. Pregnant drinking 'affects sperm.'Women who drink during pregnancy may be damaging the future fertility
of their sons, research suggests. In a study of almost 350 young men,

are now reaching puberty, on average, before the age of 10. Researchers
wonder whether lifestyle or environmental chemicals are to blame. Dublin Irish Times, Ireland. 29 June 2010. Long-term exposure to nitrates through food and water may increase a
woman's risk of thyroid disease, finds a study of older women in Iowa.
This is the first study to show a link between nitrates and thyroid
cancer in people, although nitrates have been shown to cause thyroid
tumors in animal studies. Thyroid cancer is the eighth most common
cancer among women. In the United States, the incidence of thyroid
cancer has increased steadily since 1980. 29 June 2010. More...Reproductive problems leading to infertility were seen in female
fish exposed to pthalates at levels generally found in the environment.
The results are some of the first to show the plasticizers can affect
females as well as males, report researchers in the online journal
PLoSOne. This preliminary evidence of the effects of DEHP on the female
reproductive system suggests that further study on females is warranted
in other species, including humans. 28 June 2010. More... |

2) Teleconference/Webcast: The Hidden Hazards of Coal Development in Alaska: Public Health and Coal Combustion Waste
Wednesday August 11, 2010
9:00 a.m. Alaska / 10:00 a.m. Pacific / 1:00 p.m. Eastern time
Sponsor: Collaborative on Health and the Environment - Alaska and Alaska Community Action on Toxics
Coal combustion waste, or coal ash, is the material that remains
after coal is burned. Coal ash may contain heavy metals, radioactive
elements, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and particulate
matter, all of which contribute to public health and environmental
problems. Alaska currently has six coal-fired power plants, all located
between Healy and Fairbanks in Alaska's Interior. Coal ash from these
facilities is used as fill in local areas, including public spaces,
university grounds, and residential neighborhoods, which may pose a
health hazard to nearby communities. Improper disposal of this waste in
holding ponds or landfill sites may also result in hazardous exposures.
Join us for a discussion of the dangerous chemicals in coal ash, how
these chemicals may affect our health, air, water and food, and how you
can help to protect Alaskans from the health hazards of coal ash.

inequities. Price: see the Registration Fees page Visit the website Contact: APHA, 202-777-APHA 12) Call for Abstracts: 6th International Conference on the Impact of Environmental Factors on Health
Deadline: December 31, 2010 (this date may be adjusted as the conference date approaches)
Riga, Latvia Sponsor: Wessex Institute of Technology and the Journal of Saftey and Security Engineering
Health problems related to the environment have become a major
source of concern all over the world. The health of the population
depends upon good quality environmental factors including air, water,
soil, food and many others. The aim of society is to establish measures
that can eliminate or considerably reduce hazardous factors from the
human environment to minimize the associated health risks. The ability
to achieve these objectives is in great part dependent on the
development of suitable experimental, modeling and interpretive
techniques, which allow a balanced assessment of the risk involved as
well as suggesting ways in which the situation can be improved. The
interaction between environmental risk and health is often complex and
can involve a variety of social, occupational and lifestyle factors.
This emphasises the importance of considering an interdisciplinary
approach. The language of the conference will be English. The
conference is scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, July 25 - 27,
2011.
