Title A name given to the resource Lead: Assessing the environmental burden of disease Subject The topic of the resource This 73-page guide is available in English, and outlines a method for estimating the disease burden at national, city or local levels caused by environmental exposure to lead. The intended audience includes intermediate level public health professionals, environmental health specialists, as well as policy makers. The method described in the guide assesses lead exposure from the distribution of lead levels in blood samples representative of the study population. For children, the exposure distribution is then converted into a distribution of IQ points lost, resulting mild mental retardation, and into rates of anaemia and gastrointestinal symptoms. For adults, the exposure distribution is converted mainly into increased blood pressure, which may cause various cardiovascular diseases, including ischaemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease.

Title A name given to the resource Case Studies in Environmental Medicine (CSEM) Disease Clusters: An Overview Subject The topic of the resource This case study is available in English. It is intended for advanced level health care providers, especially pediatricians, of the special susceptibilities of children to hazardous substances in the environment and aid in their evaluation of potentially exposed patients. This case study provides information related to clusters including: case definition, case confirmation, population denominator, exposure assessment, plausible hypotheses, risk communication, and resources. Upon completion of this case study the participant should be able to define a disease cluster, describe the components of the public health department disease cluster investigation, and describe the physician's responsibility regarding disease clusters. The CDC designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 hours toward the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician's Recognition Award, 1.6 contact hours in nursing, and 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

Title A name given to the resource Qualité de l'air dans les étables de veaux de lait Subject The topic of the resource It is now known that the air quality in buildings used for animal production can affect the workers' quality of life and health as well as the performance of the animals. Although this reality is well known for swine production, no study deals with veal calf breeding, which is expanding. The aim of this study is to characterize and quantify, by season, the chemical substances and biological agents present in the air of veal calf production buildings, to determine the risks for people in relation to standards and guidelines, and then to propose simple and not very costly quality criteria for building managers to improve air quality, if needed. This study's recommendations will be disseminated to the stakeholders in the veal calf production industry, and an action grid will be made available to them so that they can make the relevant changes.
