Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health The National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, in collaboration with six other National
Institutes of Health
components, and the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health,
today announced 12 five-year projects that will
provide scientists with a better understanding of
how social and physical environmental factors
interact to impoverish the health of racial and

 PBBs in Fire
Retardant Associated with Early
Menstruation in Michigan Girls Whose Mothers
were Exposed in 1973
Foods that were contaminated in Michigan in 1973,
when a fireretardant containing the chemical
polybrominated biphenyl PBBwas accidentally mixed
with animal feed, have been associated with an
early onset of menstruation and pubic hair in
some daughters of the women exposed, scientists
reported in the journal Epidemiology (Nov. 2000,
Vol. 11, No. 6.) NIEHS

| Health Disparities Research The affluent
citizens of this Nation enjoy better health than
do its minority and poorer citizens. The most
striking health disparities involve shorter life
expectancy among the poor, as well as higher
rates of cancer, birth defects,infant mortality,
asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Although health care access might account for
some of this disparity, the differences in
environmental and occupational exposures are also
thought to play a role.
Minority and poorer communities are more likely
to live in polluted environments and to work in
hazardous occupations.

Study Shows Air Pollution Slows
Lung Function Growth in Children
Common air
pollutants slow children's lung development over
time, according to results from the University of Southern
California-led Children's Health
Study.
The 10-year-long study is considered one of the
nation's most comprehensive studies to date of
the long-term effects of smog on children. The
study was initiated with support from the California Air
Resources Board and was funded by the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Hastings
Foundation NIEHS

Blind
faith
Are pilots lulled into a false sense of security
by reassuring computer prompts?
COMPUTER SYSTEMS designed to
reduce human error in aircraft cockpits, nuclear
plants and intensive care units can have the
opposite effect. A new study is the first to make
a direct comparison between performance on tasks
carried out with and without the aid of a
computer. Rather than improving overall
performance and decision making, the researchers
found that in certain situations the computer
prompts actually made people more prone to errors.

1 febbraio 2000 - Nel Bollettino
della Organizzazione mondiale della Sanità , vol.78
, numero 1 2000 viene affrontato il tema della
salute nel mondo con il paradigma di lettura
della povertà e delle differenze che questa
genera nella salute, nella qualità e nelle
aspettative di vita.
In questa
epoca di esaltata retorica sulla globalizzazione
e sulle magnifiche sorti progressive del "pensiero
unico" i dati e le evidenze che emergono da
questi rapporti dovrebbero rimettere coi piedi
per terra molti apologeti dello stato di cose
esistenti...
