The noise that shortens life, insecticides and air pollution that increase the risk of leukemia in children and the opening of the Rugby World Cup, that's what we should not miss this week in 'environmental health news.
Silence, we want to live long!
If he has the gift to annoy or upset, the noise would also have impacts on our health. Regional Health Observatory (ORS) and Bruitparif come to the show in the 12 million inhabitants of Ile de France. Each of them would lose more than 7 months of life expectancy, just because of the noise! Worse, those who live next to Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport would lose up to 18 months of life in good health. This is explained by the fact that noise can cause stress, sleep disorders, but also the onset of cardiovascular disease. The guilty ? The road, rail and air.

Leukemia: air pollution and insecticides, the culprits of the week
This week, the link between leukemia and the environment was further strengthened a little. First with the air pollution. Inserm researchers have shown that the frequency of new cases of myeloid type of leukemia is higher than 30% among children living within 150 m from main roads and when the total length of road sections in this radius is greater than 260 m.
Then with insecticides. By compiling data from 16 studies, US researchers have found that children's exposure to indoor insecticide (lice or mosquito) increases the risk of leukemia and lymphoma 47% to 43%. So a tip: use mosquito organic and natural alternatives to anti-lice.

More: insecticides at home, poison for children
Rugby, and if we did a test?
Last Friday opened the Rugby World Cup! Two thirds of the French are going to follow ... from their sofa! That's good, but exercise a sport is better! To tempt their patients to put it (the sport, not necessarily rugby), Rugby doctors at the Environmental Health Association France took advantage of this opportunity to release a Special Edition of the World Cup of their "short guide health Sportif ". Because one does anything you learn: the sport is good for health! It de-stresses, helps to keep the line and protects against many diseases. In this guide you will find all the reasons to get started, and warnings against the products they sell us to boost our performance.
