Occupational medicine could cure what ails the work force

Article Abstract:

There is increased demand for trained occupational medicine practitioners by industries seeking ways to cut employee health costs. Dr. John Mitchell says industries are good media for health research since the population is fairly fixed. A good occupational medicine program, such as an employee-wellness program, involves much field work to discover what hazards industrial workers actually experience. It should also consider non-physical factors that affect the workplace, such as emotional health and family life. Industries can benefit enormously from increased production and efficiency resulting from well-cared for, healthy employees.

Environmental issues struggle in campaign

Article Abstract:

The 1992 Presidential campaign period is disappointing environmentalists because of unexpected noncommital attitudes among candidates toward environmental issues. Neither Pres Bush nor Governor Clinton provide significant contribution in favor of environmental health. In fact, President Bush is under fire for three environmental taboos concerning the endangered Northwest Spotted Owl, 1990 Amendment to the Clean Air Act and the Earth Summit.
