Short Abstract:

Due to the fact that human and environmental health continues to be threatened by persistent organic pollutants in the Great Lakes ecosystem, this study decided to explore three major questions in order to provide clarity and solutions surrounding this crisis. 1) Do PCB concentrations vary between largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), northern pike (Esox Lucius), smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu), and walleye (Sander vitreus) in west Michigan tributaries of Lake Michigan; 2) Do PCB concentrations vary on a watershed level among Manistee Lake, Muskegon Lake, Pentwater Lake, Tippy Pond, and White Lake; and 3) What are the risk levels associated with fish consumption by members of Little River Band of Ottawa Indians (LRBOI) and sport fishermen for the watersheds and fish species examined?

Short Abstract:

Given evidence that some herbs may contain high lead content, researchers of this article sought to determine the effect of herbal supplement use on blood lead levels of adult US women and men. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a representative sample of the civilian non-institutionalized US population, authors of the study investigated the use of herbal supplements that had previously been found to contain high lead content.

Short Abstract:

Due to the fact that American Indians (AI) have the highest rate of severe physical housing problems in the U.S, and that little information exists about the environmental hazards in AI homes, authors of this paper take on the task of describing challenges that were encountered when recruiting AI for a home-and employment-based environmental health assessments, and highlight major successes, along with proposing recommendations for future indoor environmental health studies.

Short Abstract:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made available to the public an annual compendium of information on locally issued fish advisories and safe eating guidelines. This information is provided to EPA by the states, U.S. territories, Native American tribes, and local governments that issue fish consumption advisories and safe eating guidelines to inform people about the recommended level of consumption for fish caught in local waters. Fish consumption advisories provide advice to limit or avoid eating certain fish due to contamination with chemical pollutants.
