The University of California at Los Angeles School of Public Health, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, compiled data and developed a standardized format that displayed a comparison of mortality and morbidity data between Los Angeles County, the State of California, and the United States in 1960, 1970, and 1980 for 16 health topic areas. Findings noted both favorable and unfavorable health trends, as well as substantial data collection problems. In 1980, compared with the United States, the Los Angeles County rates for tuberculosis, gonorrhea, syphilis, and hepatitis B were as much as 45 to 128 percent higher, the homicide rate was more than double, and, for the population aged 65 years and over, the cirrhosis of the liver rate was more than 56 percent higher. The myocardial infarction rate was 58 percent lower in the population aged 18 to 64. Problems of inadequate data for many health indicators, lack of comparability in data, and conflicting information from different data sources were noted. These limitations with the data underscore the need to standardize data collection procedures and to extend the parameters on which information is collected. The approach represents a tool that could be used by many health departments to monitor their activities and set future goals. 相似文献

Polyvinyl chloride polymers and formulations were pyrolyzed in a stream of air by gradually raising the temperature from ambient to approximately 600 C. The pyrolysis air stream was diluted with twice its volume of room air, and rats were exposed to it. Exposure to an air stream containing the pyrolyzed products of 1 to 2 gm of polyvinyl chloride polymer resulted in the death of 50% of the animals. Most deaths were due to carbon monoxide (CO), and carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels correlated well with the amount of plastic pyrolyzed. Little histological evidence of lung damage was evident. When oxygen (O2) was added to the air stream to prevent deaths from CO, pulmonary edema and interstitial hemorrhage developed. The lungs of some animals exposed to high levels of pyrolysis products of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer also showed focal edema and intra-alveolar hemorrhage. Polyvinyl chloride formulations, containing additives and inert materials, were in general less toxic per gram of sample pyrolyzed. 相似文献

The importance of recycled wastewater in the pathogenesis of disease has been considered in an ecologic analysis of four geographic areas of Los Angeles County. Two of the areas received recycled wastewater via the groundwater since 1962, while two similar areas served as controls. Of 19 health outcomes included in the analyses, five exhibited statistically significant differences among four areas. In none of these five analyses, however, were the differences in accord with the biologic hypothesis that recycled water causes disease. For only one outcome, deaths due to cancer of the rectum, were differences noted in which the high recycled water area had more excess deaths than the low recycled water area, and both had more excess deaths than the control areas. This positive association was of a low order, however, and might well have been due to chance (P = 0.08). The results of this first stage of our investigation suggest that as of 1969–1971, there were no grossly apparent adverse health effects associated with the use of recycled water. Nonetheless, a cautious interpretation of the study findings is necessary due to the inherent limitations of this type of analysis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Increasing individual preparedness for disasters, including large-scale terrorist attacks, is a significant concern of public health planners. As with natural disasters, individuals can help protect their health and safety by preparing for the emergency situation that may follow a terrorist event. Our study describes variations in preparedness among the population of Los Angeles County after the September 11, 2001 and subsequent anthrax attacks. METHODS: In 2004, the data were analyzed from the Los Angeles County Health Survey, a random-digit-dialed telephone survey of the non-institutionalized population in Los Angeles County fielded October 2002 through February 2003. RESULTS: Overall, 28.0% of respondents had emergency supplies, and 17.1% developed an emergency plan in the past year in response to the possibility of terrorism. Factors associated with having emergency supplies included African American (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.1-3.1) and Latino (AOR=1.5, 95% CI=1.0-2.4) race/ethnicity; having a household dependent aged相似文献
