Seminar: The Usage Situation of the Dental Amalgam in China.
On August 15, a seminar discussing the usage situation of dental amalgam in some Chinese regions was held by Natural Fields, Shenzhen Zero Waste (Toxic-Free China), All-China Environmental Federation, and China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation. The seminar introduced the usage of dental amalgam, national usage situation, replacement suggestions, and the harms of methyl mercury.
According to the investigation, in first-tier cities like Beijing, dental amalgam has almost been abandoned, while in non-first-tier cities in regions like Yunnan, Gansu, Qinghai, some private clinics still adopt dental amalgam. Expert Zhen Shuguo from Beijing University Dental Hospital introduced that, dental patients that always take brain inspection can replace the dental amalgam with other materials. However, every kind of dental material has its disadvantages. Therefore, the best approach is to enhance the prevention from dental decay.

世界卫生组织的数据显示，室外空气污染每年导致数百万人过早死亡。时间一长，吸入体内的雾霾微粒便可能引发心血管与肺部疾病，如肺癌和中风等。这些空气污染物对大脑也可能造成同样严重的影响。过去十几年来，无论是在动物还是人类身上，无论是在实验室还是现实世界中，都显示空气污染与大脑相关疾病之间存在关联，如焦虑、注意力缺乏、记忆力下降等等，且儿童似乎格外容易受到影响。
之前，科学家还考察过环芳香烃暴露对胎儿的影响，结果发现，环芳香烃暴露程度更高的儿童的大脑左半球的白质体积普遍较小，白质体积较小往往伴随更外化的行为、注意力不足过动症、以及较慢的信息处理速度等症状。

美国疾病防治中心（CDC）就此发表声明称，他们正在调查7月28日至8月20日之间，电子烟使用者报道的193例严重肺病病例，以明确疾病的原因。此前，电子烟曾被普遍认为比传统香烟更健康，但近年来，电子烟中尼古丁、甲醛等物质的危害性开始受到关注。8月30日，最新的调查进展显示，研究人员发现电子烟中含有的THC或是罪魁祸首。
What We Know About Mysterious Vaping Linked Illness Death
2019年7月31日位于美国休斯敦市东侧的埃克森美孚烯烃工厂发生爆炸和火灾。目前，共造成66人受伤，周围的学校也受到影响。该工厂是世界上最大的乙烯工厂之一。目前，正与监管机构合作，对空气质量进行监测。贝城市政府发表声明称，上午11时，该工厂的一座炼化塔发生火灾。这一设施含有聚丙烯材料。该材料很容易被热，火花或火焰点燃，并与空气形成爆炸性混合物。任何暴露在火中的气瓶都可能通过减压装置排出和释放可燃气体。并且，蒸汽可能会在没有警告的情况下引起头晕或窒息。接触气体或液化气体也会导致灼伤，严重伤害或冻伤。具体的爆炸原因还在调查当中。

海鱼是许多人群的营养来源，但也是神经毒素甲基汞暴露的一大来源。8月7日，在最新发表于《自然》杂志的一项研究中，科学家分析了大西洋西北部缅因湾超过30年的生态系统、沉积物和海水中甲基汞含量的数据，发现从上世纪70年代到本世纪前10年，大西洋鳕组织中的甲基汞含量升高了23%。作者认为，这种转变是由过度捕捞造成的食性转变导致的——过度捕捞让鳕鱼对甲基汞含量较高的大型鲱鱼和龙虾等猎物的依赖度上升。研究还发现，从1969年起，海水温度的持续上升可能导致大西洋蓝鳍金 枪 鱼体内甲基汞含量升高了约56%。

据8月27日出版的法国《6000万消费者》杂志所作的一项调查显示，在一些房屋清洁日用品当中带有毒性成分，即不利于消费者的健康，又对环境造成污染。杂志自发针对一些产品以这种制度进行了评估。他们将108个产品分成8类，以所标出的产品成分为基础，而不考虑其有效性。这些产品包括多用途清洁剂、清洁湿巾、厨房或卫生间用喷雾剂、拖布、地面洗涤剂、马桶清洁灵等等。评估结果令人感到惊讶，有些消毒品和清洁湿巾基本不起作用，而且该杂志还建议消费者避免使用带有漂白水（Eau de Javel）成分的产品，因为这对眼睛和呼吸道都有危害。他们也建议避免使用块状马桶清洁剂，因为这非常污染环境。
