-- Date: 11th December, 2020 Time: 1 PM (Danish Time) Participant: Olaf Aayushi Thapa, Suyasha Koirala Agenda --
 * 1) To ask about the data collection in Denmark to Olaf
 * 2) Since, data collection is kind of mandatory in order to have equivalence in Nepal so the options were either to collect data in Nepal or Denmark.
 * 3) Upon asking the possibility of collection of data in heavy metals in Denmark, Olaf said considering the time frame it is difficult.
 * 4) To ask research topics related to seafarers
 * 5) Olaf introduced one of the Maritime Health Research and Network projects which is about “ The seafarers’ work-related stress measured by the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ12)”.
 * 6) He also informed that there are the possibilities to conduct the surveys and the necessity of collecting data can also be solved by this research.
 * 7) Next meeting 18 Dec 1 pm Danish time
 * 8) Venezuela UMC will help to come with data

Date: 1st December, 2020 Time: 4 PM (Danish Time) Platform: Zoom Participant: Olaf Chresten Jensen, Aayushi Thapa, Suyasha Koirala Week Update; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6522210/ Pesticide Exposure and Stunting among Children in Agricultural Areas Case control study conducted in the agricultural area of Indonesia among children aged 8 -12 years concluded that high pesticide exposure was significantly associated with stunting. https://annalsofglobalhealth.org/articles/10.29024/aogh.2361/ Environmental Risk Factors Associated with Child Stunting: A Systematic Review of the Literature It is the review paper where the association between the stunting and environmental risk water was examined. It showed that food borne mycotoxins, dirt floor, poor quality cooking fuels, inadequate sanitation and waste disposal cause stunting but the relation between arsenic, mercury and environmental tobacco remains inconclusive as the studies were limited. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5967730/ Examining the relationship between blood lead level and stunting, wasting and underweight- A cross-sectional study of children under 2 years-of-age in a Bangladeshi slum It is the cross sectional study done in Bangladesh where the blood lead level on children under 2 years of age was examined. Elevated BLL was found to be a significant predictor of stunting and underweight. Elevated BLL, child’s gender and weight, maternal body mass index (BMI) and severe household food insecurity were all significantly associated with stunting in the multivariate model. Finding suggests that stunting among child slum dwellers in Bangladesh is associated with chronic lead poisoning. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03893721 Effect of Chronic Arsenic Exposure on Malnutrition of Under Five Children This study is conducting a clinical trial on the effect of arsenic in child malnutrition. It is collecting hair samples of children below 5 years of age to know the concentration of arsenic in the body. Results are yet to be published. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1742-7843.2007.00168.x Health Effects of Early Life Exposure to Arsenic The health effects are mostly documented at adult ages, and little is known about variation in susceptibility depending on, for example, age and gender. Such information is essential as the exposure arsenic in the environment often starts in the very beginning of life and continues for many years or even throughout life.

The role of arsenic metabolism in the health effects induced early in life is not clear.

Agenda: To ask Olaf on his view on the tentative topic “ Review of effect of heavy metals (specific metals yet to be decided) on stunting among children(age of children yet to be decided)” Olaf gave a green signal :). He further shared the effect of mercury on health. We shared some issues of Nepal. In Nepal analog thermometers used mercury and are still being used in some households and for the filling of teeth, in the old days mercury was used and those people till now have mercury filling in their teeth.

- Date: Nov 12, 2020 Time: 2 PM (Danish Time) Participants Suyasha Koirala Aayushi Thapa Olaf Jensen Date: Nov 12, 2020 Time: 2 PM (Danish Time) Platform: Zoom Participants Olaf Jensen Suyasha Koirala Aayushi Thapa Agenda To inform Olaf in detail about the Nepal situation 12 number points says that the students who have passed after the year 2018 in the thesis if they do “Meta Analysis” or “Retrospective” then Tribhuwan University will not give equivalent for those Master degrees. However, if the students have passed before 2018 this rule doesn't apply. (The official page is attached below which is in Nepali) To ask for the possibilities of data collection in Denmark or other countries Olaf informed that the agriculture area is safe and improved and is not like it was some years ago. Olaf has some datas but they are already processed and we need data which is fresh and can be used for analysis process As a suggestion, he told us to ask help from Dinesh and Eric as Dinesh may have data from Nepal and Eric from other parts of Nepal as he is working in the field of pesticide for many years. Next meeting: Data: 20th Nov 2020 (Friday) Time: 2 PM

 * -	Solid waste = 11,581
 * -	Solid Waste Management = 3,711
 * -	Municipal and Solid Waste = 1,689
 * -	Household waste and Health risk = 22
 * -	Systematic critical review of epidemiological studies on PH concerns of Municipal solid waste handling. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1757913916639077
 * Time reviewed: 1995 - 2014
 * Conclusion: Review studies revealed no causal and non-causal relationship between specific waste management and adverse endpoints.
 * -	Assessment of plastic waste generation and its potential recycling of Household Solid Waste in Vietnam.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20490914/
