@HMP403_PH Thank you for an awesome semester! I hope that you have a speedy recovery and stay healthy.

@HMP403_PH The amount of sugar and cream people consume every day in their coffee can lead to health issues. We need to work on healthier alternatives. #PHin48hours

@HMP403_PH Pharmaceutical companies making huge money on prescribing medication instead of treating patients properly. Doctors are incentivized to prescribed medication for quick money instead of addressing the actual problems. #PHin48hours

@HMP403_PH Tobacco is a major PH concern. This is one of the many different brands and types of tobacco forms. #PHin48hours

@HMP403_PH Recyclable and compostable products. Good for the environment and safer alternatives to plastics. #PHin48hours

[Gage @Gage_UNH]

@HMP403_PH A little more healthy alternative for a snack instead of grabbing pastries on the go. #PHin48hours

@HMP403_PH A coffee shop filled with sugary, fattening treats. Not the healthiest of choices for food, especially breakfast. #PHin48hours

@HMP403_PH The lecture on Monday December 4, 2017 was very interesting to see all the different areas where bacteria and pathogens can get into our food from start to finish.

[Gage @Gage_UNH]

@HMP403_PH Another interesting fact from lecture is about how they can now analyze down to ppt (parts per trillion). I'm used to ppm (parts for million) and ppb (parts per billion) at the lab I work at.

@HMP403_PH From today's lecture on 12/1 by Mr. Alexakos, something that interests me as an Environmental Engineer is that byproducts of chlorine when treating drinking water may have other negative affects on the environment. The study of toxicology is also interested to me.

@HMP403_PH If we continue to have this concern for the environment and if the U.S. signs on to the Paris Agreement, I think that we will see a major correlation between the focus on the environment to public health improving for the U.S. and every other country. #phtopics_2017

[Gage @Gage_UNH]

@HMP403_PH Thanks to the EPA, we now have policies, monitoring programs, water and wastewater treatment, stormwater management, emissions guidelines, and the list goes on with more health related policy. #phtopics_2017

@HMP403_PH There have been 218 climate and weather disasters in the U.S. since 1980 that have cost over $1 billion in damages each. The grand total for these 218 events is over $1.2 trillion. Source: https://t.co/MAQzV3YwRF #phtopics_2017

@HMP403_PH These climate events create a plethora of public health issues such as disease and sickness from dirty water, physical injury from the severity of the events, long-term health issues that arise from mold from flooding, and many other health issues. #phtopics_2017

@HMP403_PH There is $6.5 billion of properties in Los Angeles at risk from wildfire each year. Source: https://t.co/OUBB7bfBog #phtopics_2017

@HMP403_PH https://t.co/dik9uCtqfp I think it is a mix of gun control and mental health. Mass shootings are more mental health. Gang violence is an example of a gun control issue but still has some mental health issues.

@HMP403_PH The link between poverty, genes, displaced tribes, lack of water, the wrong foods (sugar, fat, etc) to diabetes. #badsugarreact

@HMP403_PH 1984 - FDA first approved nicotine gum and nicotine patches #phclasstopics

@HMP403_PH Following the EPA. Recent tweets about the mold issues resulting from the flooding in Houston.
