Abstract:
Environment and health The greatest will the impact of technology on our life be, the greatest will our need for nature be. This is what emerges from this bimonthly review. Some articles put in evidence the importance of soil remediations for the health of people living near polluted sites. Others articles underline children's vulnerability to the heavy metals present in street dust or the risks of pesticides for pregnant women and future offspring. Other articles emphasize the importance of environmental education to increase awareness both in children and teenagers and how activities in natural environments can help cognitive development as well as physical and mental health. Finally, it is highlighted how much work still needs to do be done to train health workers on mitigation and adaptation actions to the impacts of climate change we are experiencing. A part of this work is also up to us pediatricians, and this is one of the tasks of this review. This issue summarizes the main articles published in the monitored journals. All articles and editorials deemed worthy of attention are listed divided by topic, with a concise comment. This number is based on the systematic review of the May and June 2022 publications.
