Main Themes

Children’s health and health outcomes (such as asthma, cancer, lead poisoning).

News

On 6th and 19th of January 2022 we organise two webinars on lead and children’s health. In cooperation with WHO these webinars are a follow-up of lead week last November. We have several presentations and a general discussion on how to proceed from science to policy recommendations. What do the policy makers need to kow from science?

Activities

INCHES is an organization which promotes children’s health. This requires protecting them from harmful environmental exposures.

We re-scheduled the 10th Conference to a virtual meeting on the 1st and 2nd of December.  Presentations have been accessible for two months. There was a multidisciplinary audience from science, health, environment, risk assessment, social and many other domains. We celebrated very modestly the 10th Conference of INCHES since 1998. But besides celebrating we are also concerned about the state of the planet, of the health of children and the future of vulnerable groups. Therefore we did focus this year on climate change and new emerging challenges in children’s environmental health. INCHES joined the COP26 in Glasgow and collaborated with a great group of health professionals. We tried to get health into the reports of the COP26 but still too many delegations are not aware enough about all the health consequences of the climate change. Come and particpate with INCHES to prepare for the COP27 in 2022. We can use all the expertise and efoort in the period upto the actual meeting in November 2022. 

The 10th International Conference on Children’s Health and the Environment, was held 1 -2 December 2020. It was the first ever conference online for INCHES. We thank all the participants for their excellent contributions. 

Peter van den Hazel, chair of the INCHES Board and chair of the Organising Committee

The participants have the opportunity to publish a full paper in the journal Environment Research. Environmental Research is a multidisciplinary Journal of Environmental Sciences, Ecology, and Public Health. Impact Factor: 5.026. Editor-in-Chief: José L. Domingo, Robert Letcher, Aijie Wang.

Environmental Research has accepted to produce a special issue for the INCHES2020 meeting. This is still part of the December conference.
The website of the journal introduced a slot for submission of the papers. Starting date of submission: 1 of February 2022.

The  title  of  the  special  issue has the working title “INCHES-10 for  children’s health”. Special editors will be Joan Grimalt, Stephan Boese- O’Reilly and Peter van den Hazel.

INCHES will disseminate information and initiate research on the relationship between environmental factors and child health. Solid facts and good examples are made easily available on the Internet as the network develops. Parents, researchers and scientists, children’s organizations, children themselves are all potential partners with a stake in INCHES.
Children are more susceptible to most environmental hazards than previously thought. Children are in a dynamic state of growth, as many vital systems such as the nervous, immune, and respiratory systems are not fully developed at birth. Because children are still developing, exposure to environmental hazards may result in disruption of their normal development and may cause damage.
