 Hazard flasher: Stuck on the side of the road? The hazard flasher feature of our Dynamo Emergency Tool allows you to alert other drivers to your presence. Simply turn on the flasher function and place the tool either on top of your vehicle or inside the back window where it's visible to others. The flashing orange LED light is visible from several hundred feet away at night. Flares, of course, would be better, but if you don't have flares, our hazard flasher is an acceptable substitute. |

 Strikingly, using the investigators' broad definition of biological hazard, in 12 of the 17 discordant pairs the autistic twin "probably or possibly suffered a brain injury," whereas the non-autistic twin had not.1 (In 4 of the discordant pairs, neither twin had experienced a perinatal hazard, and in 2 pairs both had experienced a hazard.) These findings led Folstein and Rutter to conclude that "some form of biological impairment, usually in the perinatal period, strongly predisposed to the development of autism. |

 Other health care economists point to "moral hazard," the term they use to suggest that being insured changes the behavior of patients. The moral hazard argument says that because people don't pay out of pocket, they use more health care than they really need. If employers offered their employees vouchers for sports cars, goes the argument, or the government provided universal sports car coverage, we'd all have a little roadster sitting in the garage. |

| The case for using aspirin immediately after bypass surgery has been proven by a number of studies showing major benefits, Topol says, but there has been a debate about its use before surgery because the data has been mixed about whether aspirin creates a bleeding hazard.
The Mayo study shows that "the bleeding hazard doesn't appear to be in any way prohibitive," Topol says.
In practice, surgeons at The Cleveland Clinic generally continue aspirin therapy if the bypass patient has been taking it, he says. |

| Moral hazard says we go to the doctor when we don't really need to; we insist on getting CT scanned for a twisted ankle when ice and an Ace bandage will do; and we demand prescriptions for expensive brand-name drugs we see advertised on TV when a cheap, over-the-counter remedy is more than enough—all because somebody else is paying for it. The concept of moral hazard lies behind the recent enthusiasm for the latest "cure" being prescribed for American health care: health savings accounts. |

| How Do Chemical Toxins Present an Indoor Air hazard?
It may be difficult to believe that indoor air is more hazardous than outdoor air. How can that be, you say, when refineries, large trucks, and passenger autos emit dangerous pollutants all the time? In outdoor environments, toxic chemicals dissipate through the air. However, think about the design of most indoor environments (such as office buildings)—four walls, a floor, a ceiling, and maybe a few windows that don't even open. |

 Incandescent lights are a safety hazard (glass shards, anyone?) and an environmental hazard, since they produce massive carbon dioxide emissions from the coal power plants used to power these bulbs. They're incredibly cheap to purchase up front, but astonishingly expensive to use over time. A typical incandescent light bulb is ten times more expensive to operate than an LED light bulb. It also produces ten times as much carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. Want to warm the climate? Turn on the lights!
So why, then, are so many people still using incandescent light bulbs? |

 The Mad Hatter appears, clipboard in hand, to explain that in order to calculate a risk assessment, one must review the science to determine the chemical hazard, and then estimate how much of the chemical a person is exposed to: Risk = hazard + Exposure. These are the type of calculations the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel used to review TEA and determine the chemical is "safe with qualifications" in cosmetics, with concentration limits for leave-on-the-skin products. So, assuming the companies stuck to the concentration limits, I am safe?
Not so fast. |

 Exposure to diesel exhaust and its particulates is a known occupational hazard to truckers, railroad workers, and anyone using diesel-powered equipment. If we don't lighten up our commutes or take diesel-powered engines off the road, everyone can consider this a hazard.
How many of us have sat behind a truck or school bus and tried to hold our breath as we roll through the black cloud it leaves behind? There is perhaps no more common experience in America than the daily drives we take, whether it's to and from work or shuffling kids around. Today our daily commutes are breaking records. |

 Women who years earlier had experienced five life events had a 1.31 "hazard rate" (compared to 1.00 for the general population of women with similar characteristics) of getting breast cancer. Women who had been divorced or lost a husband (again, between 1976 and 1981) had hazard ratios of 2.23 and 1.64, respectively.
In addition to the usual controls for economic status and obvious behaviors (smoking, drinking), the Finnish study had an additional design advantage. |

 Companies around the world have been buying chemicals based on function, price, and performance," commented Mike Wilson, the environmental health scientist at University of California-Berkeley. "Hazard has not been a part of that picture. REACH is going to start driving that information to downstream users, who will for the first time be able to make comparisons between one substance and another. So, the question of hazard will start to be considered on an equal footing with those other criteria in making choices. |

| Ruud Overbeek felt that the hazard didn't matter. "The hazard could be significant," he reminded everyone, but what matters is how much exposure there is. "The risk and benefit have to be weighed," he said, as many heads nodded in the room.
At the End of the Day
I was standing outside the Javitz Center waiting for a taxi when Bruce Ames walked up and tossed his plastic name tag in a trash can in front of me with a snap of the wrist, like he was glad to be done with the whole ordeal. He eyed me wearily for an instant then headed off into the New York night. That moment is my lasting regret. |

 After controlling for baseline BMI values, the hazard for obesity onset over the 4-year study period was 324% greater for baseline dieters than for baseline nondieters. For each unit increase on the restraint scale, there was a corresponding 192% increase in the hazard for obesity onset [225].
These findings suggest that for some individuals self-reported dieting may be associated with a higher energy intake, and not a lower energy intake as intended. |

In practice, surgeons at The Cleveland Clinic generally continue aspirin therapy if the bypass patient has been taking it, he says. However, it is not yet standard procedure to start a patient on aspirin in the days before surgery, unless there are unusual circumstances, such as a high risk of a heart attack, Topol says.
"Patients who have heart disease and are not taking aspirin should ask themselves—and their doctors—'Why not?'" he adds. |

 Here in a nutshell, so to speak, we have the underlying hazard of civilization. By clearing and cultivating sloping lands—for most of our lands are mote or less sloping—we expose soils to accelerated erosion by water or by wind. ... In doing this we enter upon a regime of self-destructive agriculture. ... As our population increases, farm production will go down from depletion of soil resources unless measures of soil conservation are put into effect throughout the land.10
Lowdermilk did not see this as a remote threat some centuries in the future. |

 Why not HPV, Hepatitis, or any upper respiratory illness that might pose a health hazard to some senior citizen? Once you cross the line of arresting people against their will for showing symptoms of one particular contagious disease, then you have to follow through and arrest everyone with similarly dangerous diseases.
Of course, if that happened, half the country would be behind bars, because the truth is that there are people everywhere who carry infectious germs. |

 The fact that they run remarkably cool also means they greatly reduce the fire hazard normally associated with the use of lights.
LED lights will make incandescent and fluorescent lights obsolete
I will offer a prediction right here: LED lights will render both incandescent light bulbs AND compact fluorescent lights obsolete. Many countries are already banning incandescent lights, and four U.S. states are considering their ban. Compact fluorescent lights will eventually be abandoned as the public learns the truth about their mercury content. |

 The same year -- three decades after medical research demonstrated the dangers of cigarettes -- the American Medical Association finally issued statement on smoking, calling it "a serious health hazard." It was not until 1998 that the CTR was shut down -- and only after the tobacco industry lost a major court case brought forward by states across the country.

 That's a recipe for a fire hazard. If you're going to charge batteries in your home, especially at night or when you might be away from your house during the day, be sure to use a battery charger with advanced safety features that can prevent fires.
 | If you'd expect the cosmetics industry to have a central list of product ingredients, you might suppose the government would already have a central database of hazard information about chemicals. But Jane's new tool — 15 toxicity databases merged together, later expanded to 37 and then 50 — was the only one of its kind in the world. It wasn't the first time EWG had done the government's job. The nonprofit group also built the Farm Subsidy Database2 that tracks billions of dollars paid in government farm subsidies so anyone can go online and find out who gets the checks. |

The EPA says "there is no safe level of radon - any exposure poses some risk of cancer." The EPA bases its claim on studies published by the National Academy of Sciences in 1999 which said radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States after cigarette smoking. Radon in drinking water causes an additional 1 80 deaths a year, estimates the EPA. | | Some health authorities prematurely called for the government of Iran to evacuate Ramsar because of the potential hazard posed by natural radiation exposure.
Ramsar has areas with some of the highest recorded levels of natural radiation measured on the earth. The radioactivity is brought to the surface of the earth by hot water springs.
