Biomonitoring

I was shocked when the video showed that the two children's test results came back with multiple times higher than the parents results.  The exposures to those chemicals are just so abundant in so many everyday items.  I also thought it was so surprising that levels of PCBs could come from where you live and the food you eat. 
My first thoughts and reactions of getting test results like this back from my doctor would be surprised and shocked.  Honestly, I probably wouldn't believe that these chemicals came back as positive or that I was exposed to them in the past.  I feel like some of these chemical are in so many common products or just part of my normal routine that it would't really occur to me that those were the sources such as make up, microwave ovens, rugs, etc.
If I saw that I had these chemicals in my body already I would feel just so surprised because I am sure that it didn't feel very different than before, but that I have all these chemicals in my body that can affect things like organ function, my reproductivity, functioning, etc.  I would feel sorry to my body that I exposed it to these dangerous chemicals and that some damage has already been done.  I think knowing this information would be good in a sense that I would no longer be so oblivious to the information and that I could start being more aware and careful of what could be potential sources of these chemicals.

Final Blog

IN THIS WEEK'S BLOG, please provide a summary of the highlights of your learning for the semester. I'd also especially like to know how the small group blogging experience was for you? If there are any other comments, including critiques, about the course, PLEASE share them with me and Erin. One of the learning highlights for me during this semester was getting to read the book of our choice for the book review.  I liked that we got to pick which book we wanted based on our interests.  This made the assignment a lot more interesting for me.  I feel the same way about the literature review.  I liked that we got a lot of freedom to pick a topic that is interesting to us. I thought the small group blogging could have been better for a couple of reasons.  For instance, I felt the same activity could have been done using canvas which would have been easier to navigate and comment on other peoples discussions.  It was also hard to do any back and forth conve...

Think About It - Website Exploration

As we begin to think about being active and prepared, explore the website for The National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health  (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site.  and the links that are specific to your region or area of interest to learn more about health (physical and psychosocial) and environmental impacts or preparedness needs for these disaster precipitators. In California we have the  Disaster Healthcare Volunteers Site  (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site. , where healthcare professionals and those with healthcare experience can express a desire to be a volunteer should a disaster happen. Is there something similar where you live? There is something similar for my area.  San Mateo County does have emergency volunteer opportunities.  One is the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program that educates people on disaster preparedness for hazards and trains them in basic disaster response...

MSDS and TOXNET

In your  BLOG , write about your findings - about the potential dangers associated with the chemical/product you looked up. Was the MSDS an adequate tool for a worker to use to gain an understanding about the potential health risks and how to protect him/herself? (Consider that the general public reads at a reading level at or below 6th grade, and that's if English is their first language.) The chemical that I looked up was hydrogen peroxide.  The MSDS did give prevention precautions saying to keep it away from heat, mixing with combustibles, and consuming.  It was good because it did have some pictures.  Two of the pictures were clear to understand, but the other one was not clear.  This can be helpful if people don't read the language that the MSDS is written in; however it can be pointless if people don't understand the pictures.  I do think that it is a reading level that the general public can understand.  It was pretty simple as it had a prev...
