Beyond the park boundary: When green space has polluted neighbors

ANN ARBOR—More than half of U.S. public parks are within two miles of an active industrial facility that handles toxic chemicals, according to a new University of Michigan study.About 80,000 such park...

🌳 Over half of U.S. public parks sit within 2 miles of a toxic release site. 2,442 overlap a Superfund site outright. New in Scientific Reports, from the NaNDA team 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #OpenData #EnvironmentalHealth @um-src.bsky.social @umisr.bsky.social @icpsr.bsky.social

More than half of U.S. public parks are within two miles of an industrial facility handling toxic chemicals. ISR researchers helped map where parks, industrial facilities and Superfund sites intersect, adding new context to research on neighborhood environments. @kduchowny.bsky.social

headline reads Beyond the Boundary and subhead reads What surrounds a park can matter, too. Text identifies Philippa Clarke as Research Professor, ISR, and quote reads While communities may experience health benefits from parks, our findings indicate that this does not necessarily occur in isolation from toxic exposures. Key findings say more than half of U.S. public parks are within 2 miles of an active industrial facility that handles toxic chemicals, and nearly 27,000 parks are close to a Superfund site.

Those dispensaries everywhere? They might be saving lives 🏪 💊New @washingtonpost.com opinion piece uses @umnanda.bsky.social data: counties with their first dispensary saw opioid deaths drop ~30% vs counties without. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... @um-src.bsky.social @icpsr.bsky.social

Opinion | Data shows a new remedy for the opioid crisis

Counties with easy access to weed have far fewer opioid deaths. That’s not a coincidence.

In order to better characterize heat burden inequalities, Carina Gronlund et al. developed an approach to estimate individual and subgroup-specific health impacts before and during extreme heat events for three U.S. cities: Atlanta (hot-humid), Detroit (temperate) & Phoenix (hot-dry) myumi.ch/y1VER

Advancing extreme heat risk assessments to better capture individually-experienced temperatures: A new approach to describe individual and subgroup vulnerabilities | Environmental Health Perspectives ...

Background: Extreme heat risk assessments often rely on epidemiologic studies that used the nearest available outdoor airport temperatures (OATs) rather than individually-experienced temperatures (IET...
