Air pollution can damage DNA in three day: YIKES!

May 18th, 2009

SAN DIEGO, May 18 (UPI) — Inhalation of some particulates can cause some genes to become reprogrammed, affecting the development and outcome of cancers, Italian researchers said. Dr. Andrea Baccarelli of the University of Milan enrolled 63 healthy subjects who worked in a foundry near Milan. Blood DNA samples were collected on the morning of the first day of the work week, and again after three days of work. Comparing these samples revealed that significant changes had occurred in four genes associated with tumor suppression.

“The changes were detectable after only three days of exposure to particulate matter, indicating that environmental factors need little time to cause gene reprogramming which is potentially associated with disease outcomes,” Baccarelli said said in a statement.

“As several of the effects of particulate matter in foundries are similar to those found after exposure to ambient air pollution, our results open new hypotheses about how air pollutants modify human health. The changes in DNA methylation we observed are reversible and some of them are currently being used as targets of cancer drugs.”

The findings were presented at the 105th International Conference of the American Thoracic Society in San Diego.

UTAH KIDS FOR CLEAN AIR CONVERGE ON CAPITOL

March 2nd, 2009

March 2, 2009
MEDIA ADVISORY

CONTACTS:
Travis Harvey, Board Member of Utah Moms for Clean Air (801-435-9434 or 815-4925)
Cherise Udell: Founder of Utah Moms for Clean Air (801/582-9369 or 510-306-6963)

WHO: A coalition of kids who care about Utah’s air quality

WHEN: March 3
9am: Students from the Open Classroom will be walking to the Capitol
9:15: Students from Morningside Elementary will arrive on a bio-diesel school bus
9:30: Students will be introduced to the House of Representatives in the Gallery
10:30: Kids for Clean Air Press Conference

WHERE: The State Capitol Rotunda

WHAT: Over 100 students from Rowland Hall, Morningside Elementary and Whittier Elementary will gather with colorful posters in order to greet our elected officials and encourage them to support clean air legislation. Additionally, they will hold a press conference, featuring four students ranging in age from 5 yrs old to 12 yrs old. The children have all composed their own speeches (including the five year old!).

Utah Moms for Clean Air, who is hosting today’s event, will invite kids before the press conference to help hand-out information to legislators.

WHY: These kids are in disbelief that certain days of the year they cannot go outside to play because the air is so dirty. They think it is time for the grown-ups to start cleaning up their own messes!

Traffic-Related Air Pollution Linked to Repeated Hospital Encounters for Asthma

February 16th, 2009

Newswise - Air pollution caused by traffic near the home affects asthma severity in children, resulting in repeated hospital encounters according to a study published this month in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).

Ralph J. Delfino, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues, studied records for 2,768 children from two hospitals in northern Orange County, Calif. Beginning with the first hospital encounter, investigators analyzed children’s estimated exposures at their home addresses to the traffic-related air pollutants nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO). They estimated the risk of recurrent hospital encounters from exposure to air pollution using recurrent proportional hazards analysis, adjusting for sex, age, health insurance, census-derived poverty, race/ethnicity, residence distance to hospital, and season.

Previous studies have demonstrated that high home or school traffic density is associated with prevalence of diagnosed asthma, but the impact of exposure to traffic on repeated episodes of asthma requiring hospital care is unclear, they report.

“Traffic-related NOx and CO were associated with repeated hospital encounters for asthma in children, suggesting that local traffic-generated air pollution near the home affects asthma symptom severity,” the researchers write.

Approximately half of the repeated encounters in this study population occurred between ages 1 and 3 years. Based on their significant findings in infants with a primary diagnosis of asthma at their first hospital encounter, the authors suggest that early-life exposures to traffic pollutants may affect asthma severity and development.

Investigators did not find that children of lower socioeconomic status were at increased risk from air pollution exposures. They found evidence that this unexpected result was probably due to follow-up data that was less accurate in this group.

“Prospective environmental data are sparse for high-risk populations who present to the hospital with asthma exacerbations. Additional work with improved assessments of air pollutant exposures and asthma outcomes in such high-risk populations is likely to be fruitful given the present results,” conclude Dr. Delfino and his colleagues.

The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) is a professional medical organization headquartered in Arlington Heights, Ill., that promotes excellence in the practice of the subspecialty of allergy and immunology. The College, comprising more than 5,000 allergists-immunologists and related health care professionals, fosters a culture of collaboration and congeniality in which its members work together and with others toward the common goals of patient care, education, advocacy and research.

Green Clean Bio-bus delivers Moms and Kids to the Capitol to Urge Legislators to Clean-up Utah’s Air

Reconsider your Shovel

January 25th, 2009

As today’s storm blows through Utah and scrubs our air clean, please consider one basic action you can take to keep our air clean: shovel your snow instead of snowblowing it!

Small two-stoke engines are highly polluting and contribue significantly to our local air pollution. According to the EPA, a snowblower sends almost a pound of carbon monoxide into the air each hour it runs. As a comparison, you would have to drive about 70 miles to match the CO emissions produced in one hour by a snowblower.*

The main emission concerns with snowblowers’ small engines are hydrocarbons from unburned fuel and carbon monoxide from partly burned fuel, says Nigel Clark, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at West Virginia University. In older snow blowers, Clark says, up to one-third of the fuel doesn’t get burned. In essence, two-stroke engines are very inefficient.

To minimize your contribution to our air pollution consider:

Bringing out your shovel and enjoying not only the peaceful rhythm of shoveling but also the cardiovascular benefits of physical exercise.

Not everyone can shovel due to physical limitations, so if you are willing and able, offer to shovel a neighbors walk and not only spare the air but create neighborly goodwill. And kids: consider going door to door offering to shovel for a few bucks.

For tips on how to shovel and protect yourself from injury visit Mother Earth News.

If shoveling is not for you, consider buying an electric snowblower, the greener snow blower choice. According to the E.P.A. electric blowers are greener because they do not emit pollution from exhaust emissions nor through fuel evaporation. To reduce the cost of a new blower, consider buying one with one or more neighbors.

If you must keep your current two-stroke snowblower, please do your part to limit your emissions by keeping your engine tuned, changing the oil and replacing filters regularly.

To keep our air clean we must all do our part!
