.
The risk of stillbirth
and many chronic health conditions
is reduced by
monitoring and addressing parents' exposure to
- exhaust fumes,
- toxic metal and metalloid mixtures,
- DEHP.

Healthcare needs to be regulated
to require documentation of biomonitoring results
in electronic health records.

#ecology #publichealth #sustainability #SDGs

Neurology needs to be regulated
to require assessments of

- neurotoxic pollutant mixtures
(cadmium, DEHP, fipronil sulfone, ...
exhaust fumes and VOCs)

- neurotoxic gut-liver metabolites
(indoxyl sulfate, p-cresyl sulfate, PAGln, TMAO).

.
Which environmental pollutant mixtures
are found in diseased kidneys
for each
- subtype of disease,
- geographic region,
- age group,
- genotype,
- and occupation?

When will it become affordable

favourite items of clothing,

.
Aged care burdens are high
when digital health software
fails to monitor and address

shared risk factors for comorbidities,
such as
- bioaccumulation of pollutant mixtures in the liver, kidneys and spleen,
- gut microbiome health (plasma butyrate),
- and the cortisol-melatonin rhythm.
.

.
Crime is promoted
by a framework of health science
that fails to prioritize

- social determinants of health (affordable healthy housing),
- prevention of neuroinflammation (plasma butyrate),
- early diagnosis and treatment of
psychopathologies that increase the risk of harming others.
.

.
Health science is run by people who
live in a bubble of the
top percentiles
of wealth and cognitive function,

neglecting patient assessments of
- affordable healthy housing,
- healthy bedding,
- access to healthy meals,
- brain health
(plasma butyrate, cortisol-melatonin rhythm).

The risk of prostate cancer
is reduced by
preventive healthcare AI
that monitors
- metal mixtures (Cd, Pb, ...)
- persistent organic pollutants,
- and the cortisol-melatonin rhythm.

with levels over three times higher
near urban centers and shipping routes.

Biosensors
are at such a primitive stage of development,
that many older adults
lack monitoring of basic biomarkers for health,
such as
- hydration,
- gut microbiota-derived plasma butyrate,
- and cortisol-melatonin rhythm.

(toxic LPS, indoxyl sulfate, PAGln, p-cresyl sulfate, TMAO),
- a flattened cortisol-melatonin rhythm.

A collage of six photographs of flowers and foliage, comprising: a mass of daisy-like mauve Aster flowers with red-brown centres; three large white petalled Japanese anemone flowers with green centres surrounded by yellow halos of stamens; a cluster of four red multi-petalled Roses; a view looking up at a group of dangling five-petalled white Clematis flowers with pink freckled markings and and long pale stamens in the centres; glossy pointed oval green leaves of a Sarcococca with tiny pale flower buds; a mass of small red Cotoneaster berries surrounded by tiny oval green leaves.

There are still quite a few flowers to be found in the garden in today's #SixOnSaturday 🌱

The effects of multi-generational exposure to
mixtures of environmental pollutants

on ABHD11, neurological health, immune system, mitochondria,

in geographic regions with early industrialization,

need to be identified and addressed
to support sustainable global development.
