Within Our Communities

Within Our Communities. Within our communities there is an increasing number of families whose beliefs forbid strange men from touching their women. A small community hospital has male and nurses on the labor and delivery unit. Because of illness, the unit is short staffed with two male nurses on shift and there are several patients with this cultural belief. Describe why the patient

Community forced to share with coal mine

2 Despite the mine's proximity to the houses, which will potentially put the health of community members at risk, the department of mineral resources and energy gave the company a permit to extract coal from the area. Almost a year ago, the department granted the company a two-year mining permit, "with stringent health and safety conditions". However, when the mine started building

Indigenous communities take legal action over Ecuador's

In 2013, when Rafael Correa was president of Ecuador, four NGOs, a university, and the Shuar communities claimed the mine's environmental impact assessment had not acknowledged the habitat of two endemic species where the mine pit would be. Ecuador recognised the rights of nature in its 2008 constitution. Exterminating a species is tantamount to a violation of nature's rights, the

Ecological restoration alters microbial communities in

Ecological restoration of mine tailings have impact on soil physiochemical properties and microbial communities. The surface soil has been a primary concern in the past decades, however it remains poorly understood about the adaptive response of microbial communities along the profile during ecological restoration of the tailings.

Comparison of Acid Mine Drainage Microbial

This study presents population analyses of microbial communities inhabiting a site of extreme acid mine drainage (AMD) production. The site is the inactive underground Richmond mine at Iron Mountain, Calif., where the weathering of a massive sulfide ore body (mostly pyrite) produces solutions with pHs of ∼0.5 to ∼1.0. Here we used a suite of oligonucleotide probes, designed from molecular

Social transition and why it matters in coal mine closure

Coal remains a significant contributor to the economies of the world, and backbone of many local communities, so simply closing coal mines can trigger a series of unintended social consequences. We speak to Claudia Strambo of the Stockholm Environment Institute about the difficulties in coal mine closure, and how governments and companies can affect those who rely on these operations. JP

Mining and Environmental Health Disparities in Native

More than a century of hard rock mining has left a legacy of 160,000 abandoned mines in the Western USA that are home to the majority of Native American lands. This article describes how abrogation of treaty rights, ineffective policies, lack of infrastructure, and a lack of research in Native communities converge to create chronic exposure, ill-defined risks, and tribal health concerns.

Mine dumps, wheeze, asthma, and rhinoconjunctivitis

02.11.2015Communities in close proximity to mine dumps had an increased likelihood of current wheeze OR 1.38 (95 % CI: 1.10–1.71), rhinoconjunctivitis OR 1.54 (95 % CI: 1.29–1.82), and a protective association with asthma OR 0.29 (95 % CI: 0.23–0.35). Factors associated with health outcomes included other indoor and outdoor pollution sources. Wheeze and rhinoconjunctivitis appear to be a public

Community perceptions on the health risks of acid mine

Such communities suffer the effects of AMD principally through a perpetual risk posed by water pollution. Moreover, they are voiceless and excluded from matters affecting their well-being. This study was carried out with a community in Carolina, near the Mpumalanga coal mining fields. It tested their understanding and perceptions of health risks associated with AMD. The goal was to uncover the

This single mine is slated to disfigure an area larger than Manhattan. Over thirty Alaskan Native village communities, living off of the road system, rely on the wild salmon threatened by the mine. Between 60 and 80 percent of residents' subsistence diets and over 75% of local jobs in the hub community of Dillingham rely on local salmon.
