Help for Writers
Writing about environmental health issues? We can help!
Writing about the the ways in which the environment can affect human health? The team behind H&E is here to help.
We publish a range of news feeds (see right or here on Delicious) following the latest news and science about environmental health issues, categorised according to health conditions associated with environmental contamination.
The feeds aggregate stories which catch our eye as environmental health and green healthcare experts.
We have categorised the feeds according to overarching topics (such as issues in green healthcare and environmental health) so you can follow entire issues.
There are also sub-categories within the topics, so if you want you can follow one or two pollutants or, for example, just pharmaceuticals.
Note: The feeds use the Del.icio.us bookmarking system which you can use to create your own custom filters and feeds, such as [science+BPA] for updates on science relating to the health effects of BPA. See the Del.icio.us site for help on how to do this.
We are also able to advise on scientific developments, help flesh out the context for stories, and provide you with connections to environmental health and healthcare experts.
