International society of doctors for the environment (isde).
The International Society of Doctors for the Environment (ISDE) is a global umbrella organization of national initiatives of medical doctors. The main purpose of ISDE is to help defend our environment both locally and globally to prevent numerous illnesses, ensure the necessary conditions for health, and improve the quality of life.
In order to safeguard the health of our own generation and of future ones, we must care for the environment. ISDE was established as a tool for educating and updating physicians and the general public, and stimulating awareness and initiatives by public and private bodies, in particular governmental agencies. The Association intends to reach out to all, as fellow citizens of the world.
Environmental Medicine embraces and involves various disciplines including the biomedical and environmental sciences, the legal, economic, political and societal sciences, as well as the materials and construction sciences. SIMA (Italian Society of Environmental Medicine) aims to safeguard human health through the protection and development of nature and the environment, promoting actions that limit the environmental impact of human activities such as industrial discharges, greenhouse effect, deforestation and pollutant emissions. These are the main environmental risk factors for the human health, due to the close correlation between man and the environment. In this view, the protection of the territory and the environment represents a relevant part of disease prevention, in order to reduce the exposure to chemical, physical and (micro)biological pollutants.

News from the Columbia Climate School
Columbia Climate School
Switching from a gas stove to an electric induction stove can reduce indoor nitrogen dioxide air pollution, a known health hazard, by more than 50 percent according to new research led by scientists at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and the Columbia Climate School.
The study was carried out as part of a pilot project titled “Out of Gas, In with Justice” led by Northern Manhattan-based nonprofit WE ACT for Environmental Justice . The pilot is the first to evaluate the feasibility and benefits of transitioning from gas to induction stoves in affordable housing. It is also the first study to evaluate the effects of residential cooking electrification in a public housing setting in the U.S.
This research comes as New York City passed a law in 2023 that will ban gas-powered heaters, cooking stoves and water boilers in all new buildings to meet climate goals. Similarly, in 2022, California adopted an electric-friendly statewide building code requiring buildings to be “all-electric ready.” Gas stoves are used in about 38 percent of U.S. homes but their prevalence varies significantly by state, reaching 62 percent in New York.
Twenty low-income households in a public housing building in the Bronx were recruited and randomized to have their gas stove replaced with an induction stove or serve as a control group. Between October 2021 and July 2022, homes were monitored continuously over three seven-day periods to assess indoor air quality (NO 2 , CO, PM 2.5 ) and stove use before and after the intervention. The impact of cooking on indoor air quality was also evaluated during controlled cooking tests. Participants were invited to take part in a focus group.
Researchers found a 56 percent reduction in average daily NO 2 concentrations in the induction stove group compared with the control group using gas stoves.
“We have seen these high pollution numbers in most apartments with [gas stoves and] inadequate ventilation. Unless a vent moves air outside an apartment, then it is just mixing the pollution around your apartment,” said study co-author Roisin Commane , an atmospheric chemist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory , which is part of the Columbia Climate School. In many New York City kitchens that use gas stoves, she added, it’s important to open the window when cooking or you may see similar levels of pollution in your apartment.
During focus group discussions, participants using the new stoves unanimously reported being pleased with the transition. None of the participants opted to switch back to gas cooking despite having the option to do so at zero cost.
While the study did not measure the climate benefits of the intervention, there is ample research on the negative effects of gas stoves . Residential gas use accounts for 15 percent of the country’s gas consumption. Gas is composed primarily of methane, a greenhouse gas with more than 80 times the global warming potential of CO2 over a 20-year timeframe.
“A green energy transition should prioritize electric stoves, which both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the health of vulnerable populations,” said senior author Darby Jack , professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health.
“People of color and low-income individuals are more likely to live in smaller, older apartments that have poor ventilation, ineffective or broken range hoods and dated appliances that leak more gas. It is crucial for environmental justice that they are not left behind in this transition,” said study co-author Annie Carforo, climate justice campaigns manager at WE ACT .
