The air inside a factory building can be polluted by release of contaminants from industrial processes to the air of the workroom. This is a major cause of occupational disease. Prevention and control of such contamination are part of the practice of industrial hygiene. To prevent exposure of workers to such contamination, industrial hygienists use industrial ventilation systems that remove the contaminated air from the workroom and discharge it, either with or without treatment to remove the contaminants, to the ambient air outside the factory building.

The First International Symposium on Disease Prevention by IP6 and other Rice Bran Components. was conducted in Kyoto, Japan on June 8-9, 1998. Scientists from all over the globe gathered and presented their research findings on the effect of IP6 and other rice bran components on several aspects of health. The brain storming sessions of nearly 35 presentations demonstrated that IP6 is a chemopreventive agent as both a cancer inhibitor and a cancer suppressor in mammary gland, colon and lung cancer (Shamsuddin et al, 1997).

Heart failure is more prevalent and associated with a worse prognosis in African-Americans compared to the general population.1 Unfortunately, deficiencies in disease prevention, detection, and access to treatment are well documented in minority populations. African-Americans and other races are underrepresented in clinical trials, compromising the extrapolation of results from these studies to ethnic subpopulations. The influence of race on efficacy and safety of medications used in HF treatment has received additional attention with...

Vaccines are a cost-effective means for disease prevention. It is estimated that for every dollar spent on routine childhood vaccines there will be a savings of 0.90 to 24.00 in direct medical expense. The rates of vaccination for children are well over 90%. This has been attributed to the requirements for proof of vaccination by states for enrollment into day care centers and school. Additionally, children (less than or equal to 18 years of age) may receive routine vaccinations free of charge through state health departments or other assistance programs, such as the national Vaccines for Children program.

Diet plays an important role in most of the chronic diseases that are the largest causes of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. In a reductionist approach, scientists have often made the role of individual nutrients in the maintenance of health the focus of their research. This approach, and in particular the discovery of essential nutrients and their roles in disease prevention, has been instrumental in the elimination of deficiency diseases in large parts of the world. However, nutrients are not consumed in isolation, but as components of whole foods and in an infinite number of combinations. In addition, foods contain a myriad of chemicals (or non-nutrients) which either serve no role in human metabolism or for which the role has not yet been elucidated. This introduces a significant level of complexity, which may be difficult to unravel.

Finally, it should also be considered that flavonoid-rich foods contain a great diversity of compounds with bioactive properties (for e.g., carotenoids, other phenolics, fiber, and minerals), and multiple interactions occur among all of them. There is also great diversity in the ingestion, absorption, and metabolism of these compounds in different populations, and all of these circumstances could camouflage any effect of flavonoids on disease prevention or treatment.
