Bozzini, Emanuela – Evidence & Policy: A Journal of Research, Debate and Practice, 2021
Background: The evidence base for the regulatory assessment of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) has proved very controversial to define. The EU has been a first mover and--after years of discussions and conflicts--adopted criteria for the pesticide and biocide sectors in 2018. Key points: The article reviews alternative regulatory options and…

Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools Technical Assistance Center (REMS), 2023
Integrating chemical management into a comprehensive emergency operations plan (EOP), including through the creation of a Toxic Materials Annex and a Hazardous Materials Annex, helps improve a school district's or individual school's preparedness for a chemical-related incident. To ensure the annexes remain relevant and useful, districts and…

Wright, Paul N.; Whitworth, Malcolm; Tibaldi, Alessandro; Bonali, Fabio; Nomikou, Paraskevi; Antoniou, Vavara; Vitello, Fabio; Becciani, Ugo; Krokos, Mel; Van Wyk de Vries, Benjamin – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2023
At a time when traditional fieldwork is coming under pressure, be it from shrinking budgets, reducing carbon footprints, increased concerns for personal safety or the desire to make field skills accessible to all, how do we ensure that the key skills of observation, data collection and landscape analysis can still be developed in our students?…

Vezza, Mariana E.; Sosa Alderete, Lucas G.; Agostini, Elizabeth – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Biosphere contamination is a current environmental and social issue that must be included in the school programme. It is essential that students recognise their responsibility, and be knowledgeable about the generation and reduction of environmental pollution. Dyes are usually used in school activities and discharged into household effluents,…

Jinkun Fan; Yujie Li; Yiting Wei; Feng Liu; Dadong Lu; Tao Ye; Jie Dai; Xu Cheng – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The chlorination reaction of aromatic compounds is highly important for the synthesis of pharmaceutical products. As the most common chlorination reagent, chlorine is restricted from undergraduate laboratory experiment training due to its toxicity. In this work, we reported the chlorination of aromatic compounds with chlorine generated from the…

Schachner, Jared N.; Wodtke, Geoffrey T. – Child Development, 2023
Developmental science has increasingly scrutinized how environmental hazards influence child outcomes, but few studies examine how contaminants affect disparities in early skill formation. Linking research on environmental inequality and early childhood development, this study assessed whether differences in exposure to neurotoxic lead explain…

Jenny Olander; Cecilia Stenberg; Sofie Stenlund; Maria Andre´e – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemicals are characteristic of chemistry education practices at all educational levels. The aim of this study is to explore teachers' didactic rationales when reasoning about the use of chemicals in their teaching practice. Experienced upper secondary chemistry teachers in Sweden were interviewed about their considerations regarding why, when,…

Parwinder Singh; Pratiksha Satpathy; Chintan Vaishnav – Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension, 2024
Purpose: Despite hazardous consequences, the use of fertilizers and pesticides has been exceptionally high, mainly to increase crop yield. Socio-economic factors have been explored to understand the inability to curb its overuse; however, literature on psychological factors affecting farmers' decision-making is very scarce. Psychological factors…

Emily Faulconer; Cheryl Kam – Quarterly Review of Distance Education, 2023
An uptick in online enrollments at higher institutions in recent years serves as the driving force behind an increase in the number of science courses available online. The shift to online science courses introduced a new laboratory environment vastly different from the traditional laboratory, giving rise to doubts on how safe these nontraditional…

Margolis, Amy E.; Greenwood, Paige; Dranovsky, Alex; Rauh, Virginia – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
Children from economically disadvantaged communities have a disproportionate risk of exposure to chemicals, social stress, and learning difficulties. Although animal models and epidemiologic studies link exposures and neurodevelopment, little focus has been paid to academic outcomes in environmental health studies. Similarly, in the educational…

Hasan Gökçe; Oguzhan Nacaroglu; Seyide Eroglu – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2024
Within the scope of the current study, the researchers developed activities for middle school students to raise their awareness on the harm of plastics and microplastics, which are detrimental to nature and living things. In addition, through the activities developed, the study aimed to provide students with knowledge of and experience with…

Lipkus, Isaac M.; Cobb, Caroline O. – Journal of Drug Education, 2022
A prospective online study, consisting of 203 participants ages 18 and older who smoked waterpipe (hookah) within the last 30 days, examined how brief messaging about harms of burning charcoal to heat waterpipe tobacco (shisha) influenced knowledge of toxicants released by using charcoal and perceived harms of using charcoal. Participants were…

Bastien, Kevin; Muckle, Gina; Ayotte, Pierre; Courtemanche, Yohann; Dodge, Neil C.; Jacobson, Joseph L.; Jacobson, Sandra W.; Saint-Amour, Dave – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Inuit communities in Northern Quebec (Canada) are exposed to environmental contaminants, particularly to mercury, lead and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Previous studies reported adverse associations between these neurotoxicants and memory performance. Here we aimed to determine the associations of pre- and postnatal exposures to mercury, lead…

Sudripet Sharma; Tharique N. Ansari; Karanjeet Kaur; Andrea Gorce; Wilfried M. Braje; Sachin Handa – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Chemistry in water is an emerging field that fulfills the fifth principle of green chemistry: replacing toxic organic solvents with their benign counterparts. Although some pharmaceutical industries have developed and adopted chemistry in water, its implementation in teaching laboratories is still limited. Therefore, we have designed an experiment…
