Working Group on Parkinson's Disease and the EnvironmentThe goals of CHE's Working Group on Parkinson's Disease and the Environment (CHE-PD) are to explore potential links between this neurodegenerative disease and contaminants or environmental exposures that may cause it; to provide a discussion forum that is conducive to the interaction of researchers, health care providers, community groups and people affected by PD; to translate research and policy recommendations into accessible language for the broader community; and to explore opportunities for collaboration to strengthen research on health promotion and disease prevention in PD. (Each Participant can decide whether these opportunities for collaboration is of interest or not.) The CHE-PD conference calls and listserv will focus on those goals. At some point in the future, this group may expand its focus to include other movement disorders as well. For more information about this group, contact Jackie Hunt Christensen at: jackiehc@gmail.com or 612-325-0372 (Central time). If you are interested in joining this group, please sign on as a CHE Partner, and indicate your interest in your application. If you are already a CHE Partner and would like to join the listserv for this group send an email request to: chepd-subscribe@lists.healthandenvironment.org. 10/23/08: NEW REPORT - Environmental Threats to Healthy Aging

Annual U.S. death rates for Parkinson disease increased during 1973--2003. Parkinson disease became the 14th leading cause of death in the United States in 2003. This increase might be attributable to multiple factors, including an aging population, greater awareness of the disease, and improved identification of cases.Searches for Parkinson's Disease and Pesticides and Various Metals and Other Chemicals -- February 9, 2006
