Summer is a great time to be outside and enjoy the weather. Awareness of summer health hazards can help you prevent potential injuries and discomfort.

Here are ways you can protect yourself and others and enjoy the summer fun:

Lawn mower injuries

Before mowing, remove debris from the lawn, such as rocks, sticks or other potential flying object hazards.

Always wear protective eye wear, hearing protection and closed toe shoes while operating the mower.

If the lawn slopes, mow across the slope with the walk-behind rotary mower, never up and down. With a riding lawn mower, drive up and down the slope, not across it, to avoid tipping over.

Save extra on plant-based meat options for July 4 holiday

Do not allow children to play in the vicinity of an operating mower, and never allow young children to ride with an adult on a mower.

Food poisoning

Hot temperatures in the summer allow bacteria to develop faster in food with no refrigeration. Foods or food products with dairy, eggs, mayonnaise or meat can become hosts to the types of bacteria that can lead to food poisoning.

To prevent food poisoning, follow the U.S. Department of Agricultures advice to:

Clean: Wash your hands as well as the surfaces where youll be preparing foods.

Separate: Wrap raw meat securely and keep it stored away from other food items.

Cook: Bring along a meat thermometer. Grilling meat browns it very fast on the outside, but that doesnt mean its safe on the inside. Steaks should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, ground beef and pork to 160 degrees, and poultry to 165 degrees.

Chill: Keep everything refrigerated as long as possible. Store perishable picnic items in an insulated cooler packed with ice, and follow the last in, first out rule whatever youre going to eat first should go at the top of the cooler.

Dont keep any foods at room temperature longer than 2 hours-or 1 hour if its warmer than 90 degrees.

Sun damage

Sun protection is an important precaution to guard against skin cancer and reduce signs of aging. To help protect your skin and eyes from the damaging effects of UV rays:

Use sunscreen -Choose a sunscreen that has sun-protection factor (SPF) of at least 30.

Stay in the shade between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Wear sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays to reduce the risk of cataracts.

Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours while outdoors.

Wear clothing to protect exposed skin, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face, ears and neck.

Insect bites

Mosquito bites can be annoying, but they can also cause serious viral diseases, such as West Nile, Zika, Chikungunya and Dengue. To protect yourself from mosquito bites:

Mosquito-proof your home by using screens on windows and doors. Repair or replace all torn screens in your home. Close windows and doors, then use air conditioning when available.

Drain water where mosquitoes grow. Mosquitoes can grow in containers that hold water for more than a week such as pop cans, buckets, bottles and discarded tires. Fill holes that hold water with gravel or dirt.

Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks to create a barrier between you and mosquitoes.

Apply insect repellent on exposed skin when you go outdoors. Use Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellants containing DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

Heat illness & dehydration

Anyone exposed to high temperatures for a sustained period of time is at risk for heat-related illness and dehydration. Prevention is the best way to avoid heat-related illness. When it is hot outside, remember to:

Stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible.

Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated will help your body sweat and maintain a normal body temperature.

Wear loose-fitting, lightweight clothing. Wearing excess clothing or clothing that fits tightly wont allow your body to cool properly.

Take it easy during the hottest part of the day.

Poison ivy

Poison ivy contains the plant oil urushiol, which can cause severe skin rash when any part of the leaves, stem or root is touched. Learn how to identify poison ivy in order to avoid exposure.

The old saying Leaves of three, let it be is a reminder of the consistent leaf characteristic of this plant.

One leaf centered on longer stalk, and two leaves to each side attached to the stalk.

Each leaf has three glossy leaflets, with smooth or toothed edges.

Wash garden tools and gloves regularly. It is possible to pick up the rash from plant oil that may have stuck to clothing, pets, and other items that have come in contact with poison ivy.

Health & wellness: Take care to avoid common summer health hazards - Dayton Daily News

The hot weather that we are getting can take a toll on us, and it can also take a toll on our lawns.

According to City of Moose Jaw Parks Gardener Sarah Regent, most of the lawns in the area are cool-season grasses that thrive in lower temperatures. Once the mercury hits the 30s, the grass can go into a summer dormancy.

Regent said the best thing we can do to help our lawn in the heat is to be gentle with it.

So that means doing things that arent as stressful to it. A really easy one to do is mow when it is cooler out, ideally in the evening, and make sure you are mowing only when your grass is dry, she said.

Other tips she gave include only mowing about a third of the grasss height off. She said taking off more can be stressful to the grass and removing a lot of its photosynthetic areas.

Tearing of grass isnt good for the lawn either. Regina said keeping a shape mower blade is important because a cleaner cut is easier for the grass to heal.

When it comes to watering, Regent said it depends on the goals and landscaping.

Generally you want to water deeply less often, so you are looking at once or twice a week. You want to make sure those run to roughly the equivalent of an inch per week. Thats a pretty good rule of thumb if we arent really getting any rain, she said.

She added holding to that rule will help keep the roots growing down as watering every day and every other day can encourage the roots to stay shallow.

Some of the warning signs that your lawn needs water are brown spots, especially in higher spots. Even before that, Regent said that the green colour of the grass will start to fade and turn blueish. A thirsty lawn will also not spring back up if it is stepped on.

Many of us think of insects as those pesky bugs, and there is no shortage of products that promise to eliminate them from our midst.

However, insects are vital lynchpins in terrestrial ecosystems, and we really cant live without them. They recycle nutrients, and birds and other wildlife depend on them for food. Pollinators also fertilize 75% all flowering plants (including 30% of food crops), ensuring fruit set as well as providing for genetic diversity.

Populations of all insects have been plummeting in recent decades, jeopardizing our survival as well as our entire ecosystem. Causes of their rapid decline include widespread use of systemic pesticides, loss of habitat, climate disruption and light pollution. At the current rate of population collapse, insects will be functionally gone by the end of the century unless we take meaningful action.

For these reasons, the Amherst Town Council passed a pollinator resolution on June 15 committing the town to minimizing pesticide use and managing town-owned land for pollinator habitat. Also, National Pollinator Week, initiated by Pollinator Partnership (pollinator.org), is June 22-28, and nows a good time as ever to learn how to protect their lives and ours!

So how can you be a pollinator champion?

Make your lawn bee-friendly. Mow every other week or less often at a height of three or four inches to allow clover, violets, thyme, dandelions and other lawn flowers to bloom, and then watch with pride as hungry native bees, honeybees and other pollinators feast on your offerings.

Replace unused lawn with pollinator plants to enhance wildlife habitat. Carpets of close-cropped grass are food deserts for wildlife and lawns. Sheet mulching (smothering your lawn with an organic barrier such as cardboard or several thicknesses of newspaper and covering that with mulch) is an easy, no-dig way to eliminate grass or other unwanted vegetation to create a blank slate.

Planting a variety of flowering trees and shrubs, creating wildflower meadows and pollinator gardens, establishing flowering groundcovers, and even mowing just once a year are all ways to welcome wildlife.

Use a planting calendar to ensure that several different plant species will be in bloom from spring through fall so that pollinators are supplied with pollen and nectar for their entire life spans.

Consider reducing your lawn area by at least 25% to welcome beneficial wildlife youll be glad you did!

Welcome caterpillars with native plantings. Butterfly and moth larvae need to eat a lot before they pupate, but are often not be able to digest the leaves of non-native plants. Plant a variety of native trees, shrubs and forbs so that their nutritional needs can be met.

Provide shelter and places for insects to raise their young. Leave fallen leaves and other dead plant matter until the spring for insect habitat. Instead of mulching all of your beds, provide bare patches of ground for tunneling native bees and make a bee hotel with Japanese knotweed stems or other hollow stalks for cavity-nesting mason bees and leafcutter bees.

Provide water. Pollinators get thirsty, too! Make sure your water source has a shallow or sloping side so that they can easily approach the water without drowning.

Post a pollinator habitat sign. Pollinator habitat can look unkempt, especially in winter when there are no colorful flowers to admire. Proclaiming to the world what youre doing to help our hard-working pollinators will educate and inspire others to emulate your efforts.

Landscaping for nature is a richly rewarding adventure for people of all ages, allowing us to closely observe a variety of organisms and marvel at their beauty and complexity. For beginning gardeners, there is no shortage of ways to learn. In addition to books and the internet, you can get answers to your gardening questions from garden centers, master gardeners, and university extension services.

Neighbors can also be a great source of advice, as well as free perennials. Youll have a chance to be generous with information and plants yourself in no time by availing yourself of these resources.

Lists of area landscaping professionals, nurseries offering organically grown seeds and plants, and information about creating and maintaining pollinator gardens can be found at the Western Mass Pollinator Networks website, wmassbees.org. WMPN also offers Wild for Pollinator garden signs at a sliding scale to proclaim that your land is providing essential wildlife habitat. Contact us if you would like to participate in our regional campaign to protect and promote pollinators.

Guest columnist John Root: A week to celebrate the beauty of pollinators - Amherst Bulletin

For the last decade, governments and private businesses have talked of grand ideas to reduce carbon emissions and stave off climate change, committing to a variety of future targets. But what does it really take to meet these targets? A company called Minimise USA is doing work on the ground to make buildings more efficient from understanding a companys consumption habits, retrofitting their buildings by investing in more energy efficient lighting and HVAC-R (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration) systems, and educating clients and their employees about how to reduce their energy consumption.

Minimise USA is an energy-efficiency-as-a-service company based out of Tampa, Florida. Grit Daily caught up with CEO Daniel Badran, a two-time cancer survivor who leads the operation, to learn more about how energy-efficiency-as-a-service companies function. Badran has a strict understanding of the term as a service, claiming that only the companies that offer no capital outlay, take no collateral, and include maintenance, are truly offering energy efficiency as a service.

The model is simple. Minimise goes to a client, looks at their energy bills for the previous 2 years, takes measurements to get a better understanding of the facility, and tests the equipment to see how much each energy consuming asset uses on a regular basis. This is all part of the investment grade audit Minimise conducts to get an idea of what retrofits and replacements are worth investing in. The audit aligns with the IPMV (International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol), which provides an overview of best practice techniques for energy and water efficiency and renewable energy projects.

Then, Minimise suggests areas for improvement, and commits to investing in the project to ensure energy savings, aiming for savings of 15-17%, to eventually reduce energy use by up to 40%. This means installing LED light bulbs, more efficient heating and cooling equipment, solar panels, low flow water valves and leakage detectors, etc.

The final step is educating the staff, what Minimise calls mindset change management to make sure that the end user effectively adapts to the new equipment.

Minimises largest project to date is in partnership with the Hillsborough County School District, where so far, they have replaced over 300 thousand light bulbs with LEDs, installed Eniscope software to monitor energy consumption in real time, and significantly reduced energy bills. Sean Ewais, a Senior Project Executive at Minimise says of the NCOPA (No Capital Outlay Plan Agreement) model, We dont want your money. We know that you are going to have an energy bill. We know that were going to reduce energy, so were just going after saving from the energy bill to pay for the cost of the project.

Minimise has a global presence, partnering with companies in South Africa, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, and New Zealand, who are interested in applying the NCOPA model to get maximum cost savings without having to make the hefty initial investment to make their facilities more energy efficient. Minimises contracts are off the balance sheet, and they do not take the equipment as collateral for payment, nor do they treat the agreement as a loan or lease. Theyre making long-term investments, which include maintenance of equipment.

Minimise USA is currently offering double payouts to clients during the coronavirus pandemic, something that the CEO hopes can continue on indefinitely. Badran prides himself on having partnerships with clients, and is not out to milk every dollar. He says, The client should be very happy with the fact that were risk takers and were not risking their money; were risking ours, and in return were putting our technology where our money is.

Inorganic Antimicrobial Coating Market 2020 Global Trends, Emerging Technologies And Growth Analysis By Forecast To 2026 - 3rd Watch News

A water line break at the Fairfield Center in Meeker flooded the basement with about 6 feet more than 400,000 gallons of water last Tuesday. The community center houses the countys public health and human services departments and Chuckwagon, the senior meal service.

The basement, which is not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant, has been used for storage. Human services and county human resources files were damaged and had to be destroyed via use of the road and bridge departments wood chipper. Of greater concern were the Personal Protective Equipment supplies stored there, some of which were salvaged.

County and town employees helped clear out the basement once most of the water had been drained.

In a work session Tuesday, Facilities Manager Eric Jaquez and the Board of County Commissioners discussed installing a differential valve that will shut off the water if the system loses pressure. According to Fairfield Center Manager Bruce Bair, this is the third time the system has sprung a leak. The first two were pinhole leaks.

Commissioners gave Jaquez authority to move forward with remediation. Preliminary figures estimate remediation at around $50,000. Jaquez was waiting on asbestos reports during the meeting Tuesday. Building staff had also expressed concerns about radon and mold. The county has submitted the incident to insurance.

Asbestos was also the topic of an update on the landfill. According to road and bridge director Dave Morlan, there has been some confusion about how asbestos-containing materials are to be handled and disposed of. Rio Blanco County is one of a very few locations in the state permitted to accept asbestos in its landfill, and went to considerable expense to obtain that permission. Having materials brought in by private citizens that are non-compliant jeopardizes landfill employees and could jeopardize the countys landfill status.

Property owners conducting remodels or renovations should contact the county to determine if materials produced could contain asbestos and how those items should be handled before they go to the landfill.

On a side note, changes made to landfill fees in January have generated an additional $53,000 this year.

The coronavirus pandemic has increased grant funding to local public health departments. Public Health Director Alice Harvey would like to hire an additional staff person, using grant funds, to assist with the demands of contact tracing. One new positive case last week resulted in 20 hours of contact tracing.

The key to reopening the economy is a strong local health presence, Harvey said. Just having one additional case took up half of my workweek.

Public Health Nurse Kelly Christian, who came on board less than a year ago, has resigned.

During the boards regular meeting, Certified Public Accountant Paul Miller presented his audit of the countys budget, and praised Budget and Finance Director Janae Stansworth. The audit was clean.

The board approved a retail liquor license for Ripple Creek Lodge.

Commissioners approved event plans for a Tuesday Gymkhana event through the summer months, Yellow Snowmans sno-cone vendor booth and the Masonic Lodges pancake breakfast on July 4, and the Rio Blanco County Fair.

The commissioners also approved a resolution approving an exemption for a subdivision requested by Tammie Crossen and Charles Arnold, whose property is bisected by Hwy. 64. RBC Planner Leif Joy said the exemption is allowed under a 1972 law, and including it as a resolution makes it easier to search for title information.

In commissioner updates, Commissioner Gary Moyer said he had been working to add pesticides to deal with the Mormon cricket invasion to the list of cost-share pesticides on the countys list.

The commissioners reconvened at 1 p.m. for the quarterly Board of Health meeting. They appointed Margie Joy to the board, filling a seat vacated by Dr. Shelby Lindsay, and approved new bylaws for the board.

Harvey revisited the 5-year goals she introduced in January, and said theyve made progress on all the goals. She also updated the board on the status of COVID-19 in the county. New modeling from the states public health department indicates Colorado is in the trough right now, with a second wave of cases expected to start up in August, coinciding with school reopening.

She also expounded on what social distancing is, saying, Social distancing is more about the number of high-risk contacts you have and reducing the frequency of those contacts. High-risk contacts may include talking to someone without wearing a mask for more than 15 minutes or without maintaining a distance, or touching a contaminated surface.

We urge the public to continue to be smart and do everything they can to protect the vulnerable, Harvey said.

Hazards in the home, such as lead paint and mold, can cause health problems. And the burdens are often greatest for low-income people.

Families with limited incomes often are living in really difficult housing conditions because they dont have a lot of other choices, says Catherine Lee of the Jackson, Mississippi, branch of the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative.

She says many low-income households also have high utility bills because their homes may have drafty windows, poor insulation, and old appliances.

Its very common that low- and moderate-income households pay a significant portion of their monthly income on their energy bills, she says.

So Lee says its important to tackle the multiple burdens that often come with substandard housing.

If the housing stock has not been repaired or brought up to more efficient standards, multiple problems usually exist together, she says. So we really work to make sure that were addressing these things in tandem.

For example, when Jackson residents apply for help with lead remediation, the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative helps determine if theyre also eligible for weatherization funding.

She says its a comprehensive approach to making sure people can live affordably in safe, healthy homes.
