SUMMARY:Exploring Everyday Microplastic Exposures - publication
DESCRIPTION:The report ‘Exploring Everyday Microplastic Exposures‘ reveals shocking scale of hidden global microplastic exposure. \nThe report highlights the vast scale of microplastic exposure in daily life in what experts are calling a “microplastic storm” from overlooked and emerging sources. Funded by Plastic Soup Foundation and The Flotilla Foundation\, ‘Exploring Everyday Microplastic Exposures’\, the first-of-its-kind report draws on over 350 peer-reviewed studies and concludes that human exposure is continuous and global. The findings lay bare an exposure crisis through mapping microplastic release across five categories of everyday life: outdoor sources\, indoor environments\, children’s products\, healthcare and personal care\, and food and drink. By highlighting a continuous flow of particles generated from overlooked and emerging sources the report reframes the plastics crisis as a systemic exposure issue embedded across modern society. Among the report’s most striking findings is evidence that emerging climate interventions could make microplastic exposure significantly worse. For example\, stratospheric aerosol injection – a form of solar geoengineering being advanced by countries including the United Kingdom and United States – involves dispersing vast quantities of particles high into the atmosphere. Multiple patents already exist describing the release of particles including micro sized polymeric particles at altitudes of up to 20 km in the atmosphere\, creating a potentially ‘tera scale’ source of intentionally added airborne microplastics and fallout. The research identifies that rainfall already contains microplastics with wear and tear from car tires and synthetic textiles and clothing contributing to atmospheric pollution. In hospitals\, plastic particles may be introduced into the body via devices and treatments\, with microplastic fallout in operating rooms recorded at up to 9\,258 particles per square meter during a single shift. Cardiac catheters\, silicone breast implants\, orthopedic implants or intravenous fluid all cited as sources with the potential of inadvertently dosing patients with microplastics. Startlingly\, premature babies fed intravenously in neonatal units are estimated to receive up to 115 microplastic particles over a 72-hour feeding period from the infusion circuits alone. Baby formula intake exposes babies to microplastics at levels from <1 to 17 microplastics per gram formula with packaging types playing a role in releasing the observed microplastics. Children’s products are also of significant concern – building bricks\, baby play mats and other products for children releasing PET\, polypropylene\, polyethylene and PVC into a child’s living environment. As children naturally ingest more settled dust during play and breathe in more air per kilogram bodyweight\, their exposure is proportionally higher than adults. Another unexpected indoor exposure is via paint. Plastic is the main component of many paint products and such paint emit microplastics when it wears down or when old layers are scraped off. A single coat applied across 100 square meters is estimated to contain between 17 and 68 quadrillion polymeric particles. \nLinks:\nShocking report about our hidden microplastic exposure

SUMMARY:Inzicht in openbare kwaliteitsinformatie in de medischspecialistische zorg : Nulmeting van de huidige staat van transparantie - publicatie
DESCRIPTION:In het rapport ‘Inzicht in openbare kwaliteitsinformatie in de medischspecialistische zorg : Nulmeting van de huidige staat van transparantie‘ staat een nulmeting Zorginstituut Nederland en Patiëntenfederatie Nederland over de transparantie van kwaliteitsinformatie in de medisch-specialistische zorg. \nUit dit onderzoek blijkt dat er weinig informatie over de kwaliteit van zorg openbaar is voor patiënten. En dat de hoeveelheid openbare kwaliteitsinformatie de afgelopen jaren nauwelijks toeneemt. In het rapport staan de resultaten. Deze meting is uitgevoerd om een stand van zaken te krijgen over de huidige mate van transparantie van kwaliteitsinformatie in de medisch-specialistische zorg in Nederland. Deze meting volgt uit de afspraken van het Aanvullend Zorg- en Welzijnsakkoord (AZWA). Hierin staan afspraken die partijen maken om meer informatie over kwaliteit van zorg transparant te maken. Door de jaren heen zijn meerdere afspraken gemaakt om kwaliteitsinformatie voor patiënten transparant te maken\, maar deze afspraken werden ook uitgesteld. Dat roept vragen op: wat is nu eigenlijk de stand van zaken? Zijn de afspraken tussen partijen in het veld en de overheid nagekomen? En zijn hiermee de beloftes aan de patiënt waargemaakt? \nLinks:\nRapport – Inzicht in openbare kwaliteitsinformatie in de medisch-specialistische zorg \nKwaliteitsverschil tussen ziekenhuizen amper te vergelijken voor patiënten

SUMMARY:Mapping pesticide mixtures to cancer risk at the country scale with spatial exposomics - publication
DESCRIPTION:High-resolution environmental model of pesticide risk across Peru\, designed to support spatial cancer epidemiology\, click on picture to enlarge\nThe scientific study ‘Mapping pesticide mixtures to cancer risk at the country scale with spatial exposomics‘ reveals a strong link between exposure to agricultural pesticides in the environment and the risk of developing cancer. \nBy combining environmental data\, a nationwide cancer registry\, and biological analyses\, researchers from the IRD\, the Institut Pasteur\, the University of Toulouse\, and the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases (INEN) in Peru have shed new light on the role of pesticide exposure in the development of certain cancers. Pesticides are widely present in food\, water\, and the environment\, often in the form of complex mixtures. Until now\, it has been difficult to accurately assess their effects on human health\, as most studies focus on isolated substances and experimental models that are far removed from real-world exposure conditions. This new study adopts an innovative\, integrative approach that accounts for the complexity of real-world exposures experienced by populations. \nLinks:\nPesticides and Cancer: A Study Reveals the Biological Mechanisms Behind an Environmental Health Risk \nLandbouwpesticiden verhogen kankerkans met 150 procent

SUMMARY:The data heat island effect: quantifying the impact of AI data centers in a warming world - publication
DESCRIPTION:The strong and continuous increase of AI-based services leads to the steady proliferation of AI data centres worldwide with the unavoidable escalation of their power consumption\, it is unknown how this energy demand for computational purposes will impact the surrounding environment\, scientists report in the paper ‘The data heat island effect: quantifying the impact of AI data centers in a warming world‘. \nData centres built to power AIs produce so much heat that they can raise the surface temperature of the land around them by several degrees – creating so-called data centre heat islands that may already be affecting up to 340 million people. The number of data centres built around the world is forecast to rise enormously\, data centre capacity will double between 2025 and 2030 – with AI expected to account for half that demand. Andrea Marinoni at the University of Cambridge\, UK\, and his colleagues saw that the amount of energy needed to run a data centre had been steadily increasing of late and was likely to “explode” in the coming years\, so wanted to quantify the impact. The researchers took satellite measurements of land surface temperatures over the past 20 years and cross-referenced them against the geographical coordinates of more than 8400 AI data centres. Recognising that surface temperature could be affected by other factors\, the researchers chose to focus their investigation on data centres located away from densely populated areas. They discovered that land surface temperatures increased by an average of 2°C in the months after an AI data centre started operations. In the most extreme cases\, the increase in temperature was 9.1°C. The effect wasn’t limited to the immediate surroundings of the data centres: the team found increased temperatures up to 10 kilometres away. Seven kilometres away\, there was only a 30 per cent reduction in the intensity. Using population data\, the researchers estimate that more than 340 million people live within 10 kilometres of data centres\, so live in a place that is warmer than it would be if the data centre hadn’t been built there. Marinoni says that areas including the Bajío region in Mexico and the Aragon province in Spain saw a 2°C temperature increase in the 20 years between 2004 and 2024 that couldn’t otherwise be explained. Chris Preist at the University of Bristol\, UK\, says the results may be more nuanced than they first appear\, suggesting that the building being heated by sunlight may be part of the effect. Either way\, the data centre is still increasing the ground temperature\, says Marinoni. \nLinks:\nAI data centres can warm surrounding areas by up to 9.1°C

SUMMARY:Hoe verder met de Aziatische hoornaar? – Beleidsadvies - publicatie
DESCRIPTION:De Aziatische hoornaar / geelpoothoornaar is een invasieve exoot\, die zich sinds 2003 vanuit Zuidwest-Frankrijk snel over grote delen van Europa verspreid heeft. \nDe soort heeft in 2017 ook Nederland via Vlaanderen bereikt. Het aantal nesten in Nederland en Vlaanderen stijgt nog steeds explosief\, jaarlijks met een factor zeven\, wat in 2023 resulteerde in meer dan 500 nesten in Nederland en meer dan 6400 in Vlaanderen. De soort vangt ook honingbijen en leidt daarom tot grote zorgen onder imkers. Daarom staat de soort op de Europese Unielijst van te bestrijden invasieve exoten. Nut en noodzaak van bestrijding zou heroverwogen moeten worden. De provincie Zeeland loopt hierin voorop. EIS Kenniscentrum Insecten adviseert in het rapport ‘Hoe verder met de Aziatische hoornaar? – Beleidsadvies‘ overheden na te denken over een toekomst met de Aziatische hoornaar\, in plaats van luchtkastelen van totale uitroeiing na te jagen en daar tientallen miljoenen in te investeren. Goede voorlichting aan de bevolking (inclusief imkers) over de redenen van de gemaakte keuzes is hierin van groot belang. \nLinks:\nStop de hetze tegen de Aziatische hoornaar \nStrijd tegen Aziatische hoornaar is schadelijk voor biodiversiteit
