Our results highlight the poor design of the environmental rules on environmentally vulnerable zones.
The NIEHS is in a unique position to focus on the interplay between environmental exposures, vulnerable populations, human biology, genetics, and the common diseases that limit our longevity and quality of life".
Ranchers are still smarting over losing ranches for the original site, which was snapped up contentiously under "eminent domain" (compulsory purchase laws), and local groups worry about overuse, environmental damage and vulnerable historic sites.
In both experiments, environmental influences on "vulnerable" children were for better instead of for worse.
This approach is useful but not very beneficial for highly hazardous systems, which are operating remotely in vulnerable environmental and operational conditions.
Our study suggests that new FPE maps derived from satellite remote sensing could provide a straightforward methodology to quantitatively evaluate the effect of agricultural activities and environmental policies on vulnerable FPE regions.
We are part of a growing group of organizations across the country testing the premise that horticultural work can restore urban ecosystems, environmental value, and vulnerable populations.
The etiologies of many diseases of childhood are due to a combination of factors, including genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures during vulnerable periods of development.
Similarly, there is mounting evidence that neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson, Alzheimer, and dementia, not only are strongly influenced by genetic variables, but that environmental exposures during vulnerable periods of early life may contribute to disease etiology.
The authors argued that using climatic and remote sensing data can help predict diarrheal epidemics driven by environmental exposures in vulnerable communities up to three months prior to occurrence.
