Environmental Protection Agency this month for its decision not to update slaughterhouse water pollution standards.
Twelve public interest groups sued the U.S. Bao said in an Iowa Now feature that the study does not prove that the insecticides are the cause of death, only that death and exposure are correlated. While those with higher pyrethroid exposure were more likely to die overall, the highly exposed were three times more likely to suffer cardiovascular deaths than others as well. The researchers noted levels of pyrethroid-associated chemicals in their urine and found death records to determine how many had died by 2015, as well as their cause of death. The study followed a sample of 2,116 adults who took the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 19, representative of the U.S. Pyrethroid insecticides are used in most household insecticides and some pet products and head-lice shampoos. Cardiovascular disease was the leading cause of death in the exposed.ĬGRER member Wei Bao, assistant professor of epidemiology in the University of Iowa College of Public Health, is an author of the study, published Jan. New observational research has found that people with high exposure to common “pyrethroid” insencticides were 56% more likely to die during a study period than others. Pyrethroids are commonly found in most household insecticides (via flickr). will have an official voice in global climate discussions, at least for the near future. As a result of this move, 2019 was the last time the U.S.
remains the largest emitter per capita, and the only country to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. have fallen slightly, but not enough to offset rises in developing countries in Asia. Greenhouse gas emissions continued to rise this year, and are projected to continue rising in 2020, the year may scientists agree emissions need to peak in order to meet the goals set in Paris. With only ten years left to meet the agreement’s goal of cutting carbon emissions by 45% by 2030, the countries who remain a part of the agreement will reconvene for the first time to assess the progress they’ve been able to make and to reevaluate their goals. The coming year also marks a “ turning point” for several of the goals set in the Paris Climate Agreement, which scientists earlier in 2019 said that we were not on course to meet. With 14% of voters across the country saying in a recent poll that the climate and environment is their top priority, the issue is likely to play a significant role in the 2020 election. And as presidential candidates made numerous visits to the state to win the votes of caucus-goers, many spoke to the urgency of the environmental crisis, with some calling for a “Green New Deal.” Oxford Languages chose for their Word of the Year “climate emergency,” which the Iowa City City Council also declared, with new goals to reduce emissions enough to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, as recommended by a new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Time magazine named as their Person of the Year climate activist Greta Thunberg, who spoke in Iowa City during her visit to North America.

The Midwest, including Iowa, saw significant flooding this spring.
