Cleaning Agent → Health
Fragrances are one of the most common sources of allergy attacks and asthma attacks. And the fragrance is very interesting. It's funny how you can buy a product that's considered to be fragrance-free and then there's actually still fragrances in it to make it fragrance-free. So it's with some of our neurology, the stuff that affects sense and smell and everything. We screened for chemicals, which are known to cause asthma, as well as some of those which are known to cause cancer or be endocrine disruptors. http://www.solvecast.com/articles/detail/15298-impact-of-cleaning-products-on-human-health-in-the-workplace-with-doug-gatlin-ceo-green-seal2021-02-11 -

Snow → Health
The study found that deeper snow led to an increase in both hospitalizations and deaths due to heart attacks in men. The same was true for the length of time it snowed. Longer-duration snow events led to higher rates of heart attack and related deaths for men. Not all of the people studied knew they had heart disease or other risk factors, including smoking or high blood pressure, and some had no cardiovascular risk factors at all. Therefore, if you can avoid doing so, don't shovel heavy, wet snow if you think you may be at risk of a heart attack. Hire someone to clear your driveway and sidewalk for you, or ask if a healthy family member would be willing to do you a favor. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-shoveling-snow-put-your-heart-at-risk-20171206128872021-01-30 -

Snow → Health
Each year, 24 percent of weather-related vehicle crashes occur on snowy, slushy or icy pavement and 15 percent happen during snowfall or sleet. Over 1,300 people are killed and more than 116,800 people are injured in vehicle crashes on snowy, slushy or icy pavement annually. Every year, nearly 900 people are killed and nearly 76,000 people are injured in vehicle crashes during snowfall or sleet. https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/weather/weather_events/snow_ice.htm2021-01-30 -

Snow → Health
It's better to wait until a few hours into the snowfall to gather your fresh catch. Snow acts like a kind of atmospheric "scrubbing brush," he explains. The longer the snow falls, the lower the pollution levels in the air, and thus in the snow. But even if you start to collect as soon as it begins to flurry, Gaffney reassures me that contaminants in snow are "all at levels well below toxic. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/23/463959512/so-you-want-to-eat-snow-is-it-safe-we-asked-scientists https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/23/463959512/so-you-want-to-eat-snow-is-it-safe-we-asked-scientists2021-01-30 -

Building design → Health
Human health being one, we have all, I think many of us either experienced ourselves or know someone who has experienced not feeling well in a space for various reasons, whether it's there's mold or there's poor air circulation, or it's too hot or too cold, even that. Is a simple example of feeling either better or worse because of your built environment. http://www.solvecast.com/articles/detail/15258-sustainable-design-resilience-planning-with-ariane-laxo2021-01-07
