Reducing air pollution can prevent a host of health problems, including during pregnancy and in children.

Excellent multi-media piece on how plastic gets inside our bodies. It comes from some sources you might not expect and it's impacting our health. @UCSF.

Recycling is usually a positive thing, but when it comes to recycling plastics, it unleashes health-harming microplastics and chemicals. We need a new approach.

One way the Trump administration could protect reproductive health is to regulate PFAS so people aren't exposed to these harmful chemicals in the first place.

"But there’s no tackling climate change and plastic pollution without addressing the underlying cause — fossil fuels.".

A new study via @YaleSPH & EaRTH Pilot Award, finds exposure to halokanes (found in firefighting chemicals/pesticides/solvents) may be linked to gliomas, a deadly brain tumor. @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSFCancer @gliomaregistry pub: blog:

As chronic diseases rise due to plastics/fossil fuels/chemicals, it is more important than ever to protect funding that is critical for research conducted by our P30 Centers. Our research improves health, reduces healthcare costs & supports the economy.

Microplastics are linked to a growing - and disturbing - number of health problems, which have an alarming impact on people's lives. @UCSF @IGHSatUCSF @NIH.

“[In blood tests], we found patterns of the proteins that were very similar to those in people that have Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. It’s almost equivalent to a small child having #Alzheimer’s. ” she said. #plastics.

“A pregnant person is breathing for two,” said Dr. Marya Zlatnik, an OB-GYN at University of California San Francisco. Pregnant people breathe more deeply than others. As a result, Zlatnik said, “they are exposed to more of whatever is in the air.” .
