      <title>What to Know About Fluoride’s Impact on Health</title>
      <description>Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that is commonly added to drinking water and dental products to prevent cavities, a significant public health achievement. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of fluoride can damage teeth and bones, and recent evidence suggests that moderate levels of fluoride may be linked to lower IQ in children. Balancing fluoride’s profound oral health benefits while minimizing potential harms requires a careful examination of the latest data.</description>

      <title>Fracking is being forced onto some Ohio property owners' land: Here's why it's legal</title>
      <description>Unitization, the pooling of parcels of land into a single unit for fracking purposes, has been legal in Ohio since 1965, however, the last decade has seen unitization orders surge to meet fracking demands.  As fracking in Ohio surges, a Yale School of Public Health report has identified human health concerns associated with fracking.</description>

      <title>How Climate Change Could Make Pesticides Even Deadlier</title>
      <description>When it is hotter outside, pesticides tend to evaporate faster, explains Nicole Deziel, an environmental health scientist at the Yale School of Public Health. This, in turn, impacts how much of the pesticide actually reaches the crop. Any that doesn’t usually sticks around in the air—and can travel miles offsite. Pesticide drift means that the toxic chemicals spread further than ever intended, affecting farmworkers and adjacent communities.</description>

      <title>PFAS and Phenols Linked to Different Cancers in Women of Different Races</title>
      <description>A new federally-funded study in the Journal of Exposure Science  Environmental Epidemiology has found that compounds called phenols, and the synthetic chemicals PFAS, were linked to different kinds of cancer in white women and women of color.

PFAS were linked to ovarian and uterine cancers mainly in white women, and phenols were linked more to breast cancer in non-white women. Phenols and PFAS are found in hundreds of daily consumer products.

The researchers stated that the racial differences are particularly impactful because of racial disparities in exposure to these chemicals.

Nicole Deziel, member of the Yale Cancer Center and associate professor of epidemiology (environmental sciences) at Yale School of Public Health, who is not associated with the study, said the findings “provided a lot of new information suggesting that exposure to PFAS could be associated with a variety of hormonally related cancers, particularly in women.”</description>

      <title>How genetics determine our life choices</title>
      <description>It has been 20 years since the Human Genome Project was "completed". But it quickly became apparent that the efforts to sequence and map the human "book of life" was only just the beginning. Far from closing the question of what makes our bodies tick and why they do so differently, research on the human genome has revealed a far more complex picture than anyone could have imagined. We may not realize it, but it appears that many routine aspects of our daily lives might be partially driven by our genome. </description>

      <title>A new Yale research study will examine public health impacts of cancer-causing chemical in L.I. drinking water</title>
      <description>Yale University scientists are preparing to launch a study on Long Island to determine the health effects of the chemical 1,4 dioxane, a contaminant likely to cause cancer in people, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Yale Superfund Research Center is looking for volunteers who live on Long Island, where the chemical is being detected in private wells and public water supply systems at higher levels than most of the rest of the country, to participate in the study. </description>
