Health Promotion for Staff In many respects this thread is almost invisible, yet everyone experiences its influence. Positive social relationships and attitudes about school are as important to the environment as are safe and well-kept buildings and grounds. The alarming increase in the number of students with asthma is one problem that may, in part, be affected by poor physical conditions in schools. The psychosocial school environment encompasses the attitudes, feelings, and values of students and staff. Physical and psychological safety, positive interpersonal relationships, recognition of the needs and success of the individual, and support for learning are all part of the psychosocial environment. In addition, schools need involvement of families and environmental, public health, public safety, public welfare, and other community agencies.

Emergencies, such as fires, chemical spills, or injuries to staff at any UCAR location, should be reported immediately by calling extension 1911.

Environment, Health Activists Urge Release Of Dioxin Report Since the report could influence legislation, environmental and health According to a report by the Centre for health, environment and Justice, http://www.twnside.org.sg/title/dioxin.htm
Extractions: BACK TO MAIN ONLINE BOOKSTORE HOW TO ORDER Environment, health activists urge release of dioxin report by Danielle Knight Washington, 29 May (IPS) - To the cheers of environmentalists and community health activists, the government is expected to finally release a decade-long study evaluating the potential dangers dioxins pose to humans and the environment. Two weeks ago, a panel of scientists decided it would urge the EPA to release the long-awaited report. Environmental groups, elated with the news, say the report, known as the Dioxin Reassessment, would have been released much sooner if the process had not been delayed by industry groups. The fact that this report has been in draft form for the last 10 years has been a stumbling block for community groups who have been pushing for strong health policies on dioxin and an excuse for the chemical industry to carry on with business as usual, says Monica Rohde with the Virginia-based Centre for Health, Environment and Justice. Dioxins are not intentionally created; but they are generated as wastes and by-products when municipal and hazardous waste is burned or during the manufacture of chemicals containing chlorine, such as pesticides, PVC (vinyl) plastics, and paper products.

As we have stated over the past four years or so, these 38,000 drums will be left behind for our children or their children to deal with. Lawsuits over these drums have been filed finally, yet our officials say that Cell 1 is not leaking and intact because it has a double liner system. Somewhere in between is the truth so maybe we should look at the facts and history of Cell 1:
