Environmental impact of pediatric ENT surgery: A STROBE analysis.

Introduction: Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases contribute to climate change. The healthcare sector, and particularly the operating room, is a significant emitter of greenhouse gases. In head-and-neck surgery, pediatric procedures are very common, but few studies have assessed their ecological impact.

[CAP, understand, act and share: A toolbox made in Nouvelle Aquitaine to support healthcare establishments in their ecological transformation].

In the face of climate change, Health is mobilizing to find solutions and reduce its environmental impact. The CAP (understand, act and share) sustainable hospital toolbox cited in the roadmap for the Ecological Planning of the French Health System offers 3 original, operational and complementary tools to: (1) acculturate professionals in the sector (Plan Health Faire®), (2) build the establishment strategy (2030 Agenda), and (3) take action with healthcare professionals (The Sustainable Units program).

Knowledge, behaviours, practices, and expectations regarding climate change and environmental sustainability among health workers in France: a multicentre, cross-sectional study.

Background: Faced with climate change, hospitals are confronted with a dual challenge. On one hand, they need to embark on a far-reaching ecological transformation to reduce their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts; on the other hand, they need to limit the effects of climate change on their activities. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge, behaviours, practices, and expectations of health workers in French hospitals regarding climate change and environmental sustainability.

Analytical methods and biomonitoring results in hair for the assessment of exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals: A literature review.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are compounds that alter functions of the endocrine system due to their ability to mimic or antagonize endogenous hormones, or that alter their synthesis and metabolism, causing adverse health effects. Human biomonitoring (HBM) is a reliable method to assess human exposure to chemicals through measurement in human body fluids and tissues. It identifies new sources of exposure and determines their distribution, thereby enabling detection of the most exposed populations.
