OBJECTIVES A community coalition compared the availability and cost of diabetes-healthy foods in a racial/ethnic minority neighborhood in East Harlem, with those in the adjacent, largely White and affluent Upper East Side in New York City. METHODS We documented which of 173 East Harlem and 152 Upper East Side grocery stores stocked 5 recommended foods. RESULTS Overall, 18% of East Harlem st...

Conventional deposits of rare earth elements (REEs) cannot meet the high demand for REEs globally. Therefore, prospecting from alternative sources like ash coal is vital. In this study, discard and “Run Mine” (ROM) were studied to evaluate abundance association in these materials. The TESCAN Integrated Mineral Analyzer (TIMA) X-ray diffractometer (XRD) techniques employed determine mineralogy s...

Respiratory chronic airway disorders and early damage of pulmonary system predict by Spirometry. Occupational exposures to coal dust affect the different systems of the body. The present study has focused on the coal workers who are continuously exposed to air pollutants such as coal dust. Study group of 170 male workers working in coal mines for more than ten years, consists of 66 non-alcoholi...

Assessment of soil quality is one of the key parameters for evaluation of environmental contamination in the mining ecosystem. To investigate the effect of coal mining on soil quality, opencast and underground mining sites were selected in the Raniganj coalfield area, India. The physical, chemical, and biological parameters of the soils, and trace metals and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbo...
