The knowledge about the influence of environmental hazards on children's health is increasing enormously. European Ministers of Health and Environment, like many other stakeholders, identified the environmental hazards in Europe for the health of children as so serious, that they called for a "Children's Environment and Health Action Plan for Europe (CEHAPE)" approved in June 2004. The knowledg...

The development of the shale industry is gaining momentum and hence the analysis of chemical hazards to the environment and health of the local population is extreiely timely and important. Chemical hazards are created during the exploitation of all minerals, but in the case of shale gas production, there is much more uncertainty as regards to the effects of new technologies application. Americ...

Contamination of the environment by man-made and natural toxins has a direct impact on the health of children. This review considers how toxic contamination is identified and regulated, and highlights specific hazards.

The number of U.S. bank failures jumped sharply in the mid-1980s and has remained disturbingly high, averaging roughly 170 banks a year over the 1985-1990 period. Furthermore, large-bank failures have become increasingly common. For a variety of reasons, the timing of closures and the resolution techniques used have severely strained the resources of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (F...

background: this paper describes the common hazards in the metal industry – chemicals and noise. the aim of the study was to get an overview of risk levels of mentioned occupational hazards and examine the implementation of adequate safety measures. methods: measurements of noise and chemicals were performed, self-reported exposure and usage of personal protective equipment from workers were us...

conclusions the use of smoothing methods helps us to eliminate non-linear effects but it is more appropriate to use cox proportional hazards model in medical data because of its’ ease of interpretation and capability of modeling both continuous and discrete covariates. also, cox proportional hazards model and smoothing methods analysis identified that age at diagnosis and tumor size were indepe...

Planned emissions and unplanned incidents in the marine environment have the potential to result in adverse environmental effects if a discharge of hazardous material or release of energy comes into contact with sensitive receptors. Environmental risk management is the process of systematically identifying credible environmental hazards, analysing the likelihood of occurrence and severity of th...
