1 Risk, Toxicology and Human Health La Cañada High School AP Environmental Science Mark Ewoldsen, Ph.D.

2 Human Health Health is a state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmityHealth is a state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmityor The ability to lead a socially and economically productive lifeThe ability to lead a socially and economically productive life

3 Holistic Concept of Health This concept recognizes the strength of social, economic, political and environmental influences on healthThis concept recognizes the strength of social, economic, political and environmental influences on health DeterminantsDeterminants –Heredity –Health and family welfare services –Environment –Life-style –Socio-economic conditions

4 Disease Disease results from the complex interaction between man, an agent and the environmentDisease results from the complex interaction between man, an agent and the environment Ecological point of view – “maladjustment of the human organism to the environment”Ecological point of view – “maladjustment of the human organism to the environment”

8 Hazards Hazard - Anything that causes: 1.Injury, disease, or death to humans 2.Damage to property 3.Destruction of the environment Cultural hazard - a risk that a person chooses to engage in Risk The probability of suffering (1, 2, or 3) as a result of a hazard Perception What people think the risks are

9 Types of Hazards ToxicToxic CorrosiveCorrosive IgnitableIgnitable ReactiveReactive

10 Types of Hazards Biological HazardsBiological Hazards – –These are living organisms or their products that are harmful to humans

25 Biological Hazards Vector-borne diseasesVector-borne diseases –Transmitted by insects, other arthropods and other animals including humans –Improper environmental management can cause vector- borne disease outbreaks

26 Biological Hazards Vector-borne diseasesVector-borne diseases –Examples MosquitoesMosquitoes –Malaria –St. Louis encephalitis –La Crosse encephalitis –West Nile Virus FleasFleas –Bubonic plague – Murine typhus

27 3. Mosquito injects Plasmodium sporozoites into human host 2. Plasmodium develops in mosquito 1. Female mosquito bites infected human, ingesting blood that contains Plasmodium gametocytes 4. Parasite invades blood cells, causing malaria and making infected person a new reservoir Anopheles mosquito (vector) in aquatic breeding area eggs larva pupa adult

71 Chlorinated hydrocarbons Are synthetic organic compounds Dioxin Mainly caused by burning PVC pipe (medical waste) Linked to cancer. Also an endocrine disruptor.

72 Love Canal, NY The government allowed housing to be build over the toxic waste dump and people got sick Problem first discovered in 1978 First national emergency in the US because of toxic waste Led to the superfund legislation. Superfund sites: $ comes from taxes on chemical industries 50% of the $ spent on legal costs

87 Risk Analysis How can risks be estimated, managed and reduced?How can risks be estimated, managed and reduced?

88 Risk Analysis involves… Identifying hazardsIdentifying hazards Evaluate risksEvaluate risks Ranking risksRanking risks Determining options and deciding course of actionDetermining options and deciding course of action Informing policy makers and public about risksInforming policy makers and public about risks

89 Risk Analysis  Risk The possibility of suffering harm from a hazard that can cause injury, disease, economic loss, or environmental damage. Risk is Expressed in terms of probability, a mathematical statement about How likely it is that some event or effect will occur. Risk=Exposure X Harm  Risk The possibility of suffering harm from a hazard that can cause injury, disease, economic loss, or environmental damage. Risk is Expressed in terms of probability, a mathematical statement about How likely it is that some event or effect will occur. Risk=Exposure X Harm Fig. 16.2, p. 297

90 Fig. 16.14, p. 412 Risk probability Risk assessment Risk severity Is the risk acceptable? Acceptable if benefits outweigh costs Cost–benefitExpressed preferences Acceptable if people agree to accept the risks Natural standards Acceptable if risk is not greater than those created by natural hazard Revealed preferences Acceptable if risk is not greater than those currently tolerated

91 Risk Analysis Usefulness Organize and analyze available scientific informationOrganize and analyze available scientific information Identify significant hazardsIdentify significant hazards Focus on areas that warrant more researchFocus on areas that warrant more research

92 Risk Analysis Usefulness Help regulators decide how money for reducing risks should be allocated,Help regulators decide how money for reducing risks should be allocated, Stimulate people to make more informed decisions about health and environmental goals and priorities.Stimulate people to make more informed decisions about health and environmental goals and priorities.

93 Risk Perception If chance of death is 1 in 100,000 people are not likely to be worried or change behavior.If chance of death is 1 in 100,000 people are not likely to be worried or change behavior. Most of us do a poor job of assessing relative risks from hazards around us.Most of us do a poor job of assessing relative risks from hazards around us.

94 Risk Perception Most people deny the high-risk activities they voluntarily enjoyMost people deny the high-risk activities they voluntarily enjoy –Motorcycles (1 in 50) –Smoking (1 in 300 pack a day smokers, by 65) –Hang-gliding (1 in 2,500)
