Human Health - Science topic

Ocean pollution, including plastic pollution, is a serious problem that threatens marine ecosystems and human health worldwide. Millions of tonnes of plastic end up in the oceans every year, where it breaks down into microplastics that pollute the water, settle on the seabed and enter the food chain. Plastic threatens the lives of marine animals that mistake it for food, leading to death by suffocation, entanglement or damage to the digestive tract. Microplastics that enter the food chain can also end up in the human body, where they can cause health problems. In addition to plastic, the oceans are polluted with other substances such as heavy metals, pesticides and sewage, which also endanger marine ecosystems and human health. An effective solution to the problem of ocean pollution requires action on many levels, such as reducing plastic production, recycling plastic, cleaning up the oceans and promoting sustainable fishing. Scientific research plays an important role in solving this problem by providing the knowledge and analysis necessary to develop effective strategies.

I have described the key issues concerning the problem of the ongoing process of global warming, the negative effects of this process and, consequently, the need to increase the scale and speed up the process of the green transformation of the economy, climate protection, the biosphere and biodiversity of the planet in the following article:

I am keen to pursue a PhD in bacterial biofilm-mediated bioremediation of pharmaceutical effluents. My research background includes environmental microbiology, pollution control, and wastewater treatment. I am actively looking for supervisors and funding opportunities worldwide.

Additionally, my teaching experience has given me valuable insights into nutrition assessment, particularly in school-going children. Understanding the environmental impact on human health, especially through water pollution and food quality, is an area that fascinates me.

If anyone has recommendations on research groups, funding options, or universities excelling in these fields, I would love to connect and discuss possibilities.

Kindly share any publication on this subject please.

§The environment is one of the many determinants of

human health. The key to man’s health lies largely in his

environment, and the study of the disease is really the study

of man and his environment.

Hippocrates was the first person who related the environment and the disease. Later the concept of disease and environment association was revived by Pettenkofer.[

theory: soil microbiome directly influences human gut microbiome and factors of health

-> modern, western culture favours and advertises fast food and processed food, which are overly-processes, nutrient-poor foods

-> many human health issues can be directly attributed to nutrient deficiencies

-> the macro and micronutrients, and abundances of them, that we metabolize, affect our physical and mental health

->the crops/plants that we eat and feed our livestock with, make up the macro and micronutrients we need

-> the soil microbiome dictates the crop/plant nutrient and vitamin composition/abundance (I presume)

-> when we strip the soil of its living properties, we reduce the functionality it has as a nutrient and energy source (I presume)

-> QUESTION: is healing the soil microbiome, and thus our gut microbiome, effectively linked to promoting human health?

There is need for me to identify a problem in rural village india then research on the problem towards and find solutions to the problem. My research rea of interest if water quality i.e. surface or underground water. Water quality assessment can be done using biomonitoring techniques such as macroinvertebrates and physicochemical parameters.

I also do have a background in animal health production, as part of my undergrad studies, my M.Sc i did a research on water quality

Most respondents to the 2022-2023 Global Risks Perception Survey chose “Energy supply crisis”; “Cost-of-living crisis”; “Rising inflation”; “Food supply crisis” and “Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure” as among the top risks for 2023 with the greatest potential impact on a global scale . Those that are outside the top 5 for the year but remain concerns include: failure to meet net-zero targets; weaponization of economic policy; weakening of human rights; a debt crisis; and failure of non-food supply chains.

Six major global issues, each of which relates to one or more of the SDGs: (i) food security; (ii) human health; (iii) land management, including land restoration; (iv) water security; (v) climate change; and (vi) biodiversity preservation.

In some countries, especially poorer developing countries in recent years, the scale of the problem of illegal toxic waste dumps, which greatly contribute to environmental pollution, threaten the biosphere and the health of people, local residents, has grown. The problem is caused, among other things, by the low scale of waste segregation and recycling and the illegal import of toxic waste from other countries. This illegal practice has become one of the most profitable illegal businesses run by organized crime groups. Some of the illegal toxic waste dumps become fires after some time, in whose combustion processes toxic, carcinogenic, carcinogenic chemical compounds that are harmful to human health are formed and enter the atmosphere, soil and water. In addition, some illegally created toxic waste dumps, before they become a source of dangerous fires for the environment and human health, can also be a source of pollution of the surrounding groundwater, subsoil and surface water, if the landfill was created without adequate protection of the land on which it was created. This problem also affects the country in which I operate. I am very much asking for your recommendations, advice, recommendations on how to solve this problem. I ask for publications that describe the results of research on this issue and recommendations for solving this serious problem. What are the practical and effective solutions to this problem used in various countries? What technologies should be used to dispose of illegally stored toxic chemicals? What changes in national legal norms should be applied to effectively reduce to a large extent the scale of the aforementioned practice of creating more illegal toxic waste dumps? How should environmental and waste management policies be improved? How to increase the scale of waste sorting and recycling? How to increase the scale of development of sharing economy? How to solve the problem of illegal toxic waste dumps, which greatly contribute to environmental pollution, threaten the biosphere and the health of people, local residents? How to solve the problem of illegal toxic waste dumps?

What kind of impact would this have on human health and the environment?

It is possible to transfer genes from plants to humans. This is done through a process called genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is a powerful technology that can be used to improve human health, but it is important to use it carefully. There are potential risks associated with genetic engineering, such as the possibility of unintended consequences.

I proposed a new framework (discipline) - Exposure Ecology.

First, Ecological exposure definition: the amount (magnitude, frequency, and duration) of exposure that an individual or population has with natural ecosystems.

Second, Exposure Ecology definition: An emerging unified framework (interdisciplinary) for understanding the nexus of natural ecosystems, ecological exposure, and health that studies the ecological exposure process and mechanisms of individuals or populations with natural ecosystems and explores the causes and pathways of health effects to improve human health and well-being.

Hope to see all peers and the scientific community discuss this framework.

For detailed information about Exposure Ecology, please see this preprinted paper entitled: Exposure Ecology: Towards a unified understanding of the Nexus of (urban) natural ecosystem, exposure, and Health. hope to see your constructive comments.

Plastic pollution has hidden costs that extend beyond the visible impact of plastic waste on our environment. These hidden costs include negative impacts on human health, economic costs, social costs, and environmental costs. These costs can arise from the disposal of plastic waste, the production of plastic products, and the consumption of plastic products. Addressing the hidden costs of plastic pollution requires a multi-faceted approach, including policy changes, individual behavior change, and public awareness campaigns. Understanding the full extent of the hidden costs of plastic pollution is critical to developing effective strategies for reducing its impact on our planet and society.

Under the COVID-era, orphan crops are key resources for food and nutrition security. Several orphan crops grow under poor soil conditions with minimal inputs in terms of fertilisers, pesticides and irrigation water. They are potential crops in mitigating climate change.

Many of us depended on these crops to meet our daily dietary needs during partial/ total lockdown, and movement restrictions imposed by COVID-pandemic.

How to promote these crops, as a precautionary preparedness plan/ policy/ strategy, in case of any future pandemic?

As you know, many types of research, especially related to hard work and the use of harmful substances, as well as special technologies, adversely affect human health. In this case, life expectancy is sharply reduced. However, at the same time, certain types of research give a person a spiritual and physical stimulus, an indispensable admiration for the results of research and due to which a person feels healthy and happy, he also manages to live 80-100 years.

I want to calculate human health risks related to consuming food crops irrigated with polluted water.

The applications of nanotechnology, commonly incorporate industrial, medicinal, health and energy uses. These include more durable construction materials, therapeutic drug delivery, and higher density hydrogen fuel cells that are environmentally friendly. For human health, nanotechnology has tremendous interest in food detection and will be receiving more and more attention shortly. The food industry is eager to benefit from its revolutionary discovery as much as possible.

Some interesting nanotechnological applications like nanosteel, low friction aggregate components, switchable materials, glare free wiper free glasses, environmental multisensors, situation adapted driving mode are in the room of research which will become realistic in very future.

So many researches have proved the effects of chronic inflammation or oxidative stress on human health, but no systematic discussion about the relationship between both. From what we can know now, the inflammatory process can induce oxidative stress, in return, the oxidative stress can also induce inflammation. Is it possible to decide who comes first? Or it is a new chicken-and-egg problem?

Nano-particle-based formulations have gained publicity in the agriculture sector. Different fertilizers and organic nano-formulations are coming into the market with recently added nano-urea.

Global warming has got more and more concerns owing to its various effects for nature, social and human health. Carbon neutrality has been recognized an ambitious aims for whole world. However, there are many questions needs scientists to give the answer. for example, what kind of practice is suitable for different countries? Is it possible to curb the climate changes? Is it a political thing or scientific-based solution? what can we do from our daily life, social activities to governmental policy. We have only one-earth, and in-deep discussion will put forward the idea to action. Welcome discussion on these.

I am working on probabilistic human health risks on dumpsite pollution in developing countries. Is there anyone who has an example of an excel file of the Monte Carlo simulation? Any paper that detailed about this issue?

Several studies have investigated the hazards posed to human health and the environment by carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials, owing to similar material properties as asbestos. Right now, hundreds of kilometers of CFRP elements (strips, bars, wraps, etc.) are being installed to strengthen existing buildings worldwide every year. I would be interested to know, if you could recommend studies on the potential hazards with respect to the construction industry? What is your opinion in terms of human health (especially the respiratory system), required safety measures, recyclability and cost, which are not considered in design and sales?

Thank you very much!

Human biomonitoring (HBM) is a tool of health-related environmental monitoring with which populations are examined for their exposure to pollutants from the environment. The results are also intended to provide information as to whether (further) pollutant reduction measures are needed and on the effects of existing measures. HBM plays an essential role in environmental health and the assessment of pollution levels in the population, population groups or individuals. HBM makes it possible to determine levels of contamination in individuals and, where applicable, some of the biological effects triggered by it. It is thus subdivided into human biological monitoring of exposure and biological effect monitoring.

Based on your opinion, what do you think about the importance of using HBM in human health related studies?

We have seen from various researches that coronavirus will grow more in winter but no, it did not happen. In our country (Bangladesh) it is affected by 5% in winter but now (Summer) it is affected by 23 +%. As the number of victims increases, so does the number of deaths. So what was wrong with the research?

I found a lot of contradictory discussions on the web. I am nor an expert but I am curious.

Do you have some answers?

The technology and knowledge era has thrust a sedentary life style on human beings.

This has caused disruption in human health leading to an epidemic of obesity due to lipotoxicity. Accumulation of lipid makes way for storage of toxins in fat which are difficult to get rid off. People in tertiary care simply focus on the end problems rather than prevention. Once I read, American Institute of Diabetology had a slogan, " More postgraduation is necessary to reduce the obesity epidemic!". I saw many professionals with obesity. Many of them believed it is genetical. So my mission is to make people calorie aware. How do you do that? Now a days basic education has grossly ignored health education. Primary school is the right age to emphasize health educational curriculum. As soon as possible, the young ones has to be made aware of calories. It should be a part of school curriculum right from day one of school entry. They must be thought concepts of energy, calories, nutrition and malnutrition and obesity innaccorance with their ability to grasp and continue stepwise till an individual is able to precisely calculate the calories he eats daily as well occasionally and the consequences of over eating. They shall may made to understand the amount of calories burnt from different ages and also learn what is the way to live a long life span. May be by the 10th year of school, they shall achieve the goal.I welcome your thoughts on this topic.

Hello dear community,

currently I am facing some issues with a bacterial murine model of pneumonia with Klebsiella. To access the signs of lung injury is straightforward with counts of lung lavage CFUs. However, further evaluation of BAL by flow cytometry (i.e. phagocytosis, transmigration, adhesion), ELISA and other techniques exposes the lab. staff and equipment to persistent contamination with a high risk of development of human pneumonia.

Murine models are very well described in the literature but human health low-risk alternatives are not. For our future work, we are considering between the most common sources of murine pneumonia, bacterial or viral, and trying to understand which one has less human health impact in the lab. For the bacterial alternative I have considered Bartonell henselae, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pasteurella pneumotropica, with the first being the safest. Conserning the Pneumonia virus in mice, the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamily Pneumovirinae seems to be the standard but the literature is limitless.

Your advice will be extremely valuable for our future experiments and safety of our lab. members.

Is there any research or an information about use of swedish bitter in veterinary medicine besides rats? I am planning to do a research on this spesific subject. Magistral formulas like this are believed to have amazing properities on human health. So I am wondering if it is not toxic, can it be healing?

How the changing climate may increase, or decrease, the diffusion of this virus all around the world? Are there any connections between climate and virus' "preferences" for attacking human health?

Inhalation of hot steam is prescribed by many doctors to cure several breath related problems. However, people use to complain that breathing in cold humid air cause a little suffocation.

Traces in drugs has an effective role in human health so it is worth to suggest a senssitive methods for detemining these traces

Que 1 :

I am performed microbial analysis of RO water.

As per my experiment, the fresh sample of water has 1 x 10³ CFU/mL from plate count method but after 4 to 6 days later when I am performing same analysis for the same sample there should be 0 count in the sample.

After 5 days there is 0 count so can we suggest it as a suitable for drinking water ?

Can you please help me out for understanding this stuff?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Que 2 :

In BIS standard there is permissible limit of <20CFU/mL in drinking water.

But if we found only 1 colony in 1st dilution still it is consider as 100 CFU/mL, So how can we go with permissible limit of <20CFU/mL in drinking water ???

Copper is inorganic element ,that needed for human health,and even its toxic,but with small amounts are needed,

opper, an essential mineral, is naturally present in some foods and is available as a dietary supplement. It is a cofactor for several enzymes (known as “cuproenzymes”) involved in energy production, iron metabolism, neuropeptide activation, connective tissue synthesis, and neurotransmitter synthesis [1-3]. One abundant cuproenzyme is ceruloplasmin (CP), which plays a role in iron metabolism and carries more than 95% of the total copper in healthy human plasma [4]. Copper is also involved in many physiologic processes, such as angiogenesis; neurohormone homeostasis; and regulation of gene expression, brain development, pigmentation, and immune system functioning [1]. In addition, defense against oxidative damage depends mainly on the copper-containing superoxide dismutases [5,6].

A wide variety of plant and animal foods contain copper, and human health affect health.So how copper is affecting health.
