2023, Science of the Total EnvironmentChronic environmental contamination: A systematic review of psychological health consequences
2021, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :The systematic review and meta-analysis presented here serve to synthesize the existing literature in order to assess the extent of the psychological health impact of CEC, to understand the limitations of the literature and the barriers to conducting research, and to suggest future research topics and methods in this area. Early psychological studies used a range of comparative designs and methods to determine that CEC experience was stressful for extended temporal periods, although not necessarily at levels indicative of clinical impairment (Baum and Flemming, 1993; Havenaar and Van den Brink, 1997; Bowler et al., 1994). Theoretical models suggested similarities between symptoms of CEC-induced chronic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly in regard to the chronic ambiguity, invisibility, and subsequent hypervigilance associated with exposure and potential health effects (Edelstein, 2018; Vyner, 1988).
Chronic environmental contamination: A narrative review of psychosocial health consequences, risk factors, and pathways to community resilience
2021, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Beginning with research on events such as the Love Canal contamination (Fowlkes and Miller 1987; Gibbs and Levine 1982; Stone and Levine 1985), the Three Mile Island nuclear incident (Bromet 1989), and the Exxon Valdez oil spill (Palinkas et al., 1993; Picou et al., 1992), the 1980s and 1990s saw a steady stream of research on the psychological effects of contamination (for review, see Tucker 1998). Early studies used various comparative designs and a range of methods to determine that CEC experience was stressful for extended temporal periods, although not necessarily at levels indicative of clinical impairment (Baum and Fleming 1993; Bowler et al., 1994; Dayal et al., 1994; Havenaar and van den Brink 1997). Theoretical models suggested similarities between symptoms of CEC-induced chronic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly in regard to the chronic ambiguity, invisibility, and subsequent hypervigilance associated with exposure and potential health effects (Edelstein 2004; Vyner 1988).

2021, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Not to mention more than 150,000 people in Fukushima who were forced to evacuate to avoid radiation. Those human-made toxicological disasters had more profound effects than natural disasters on a number of psychophysiological parameters (Havenaar, 1997; Havenaar and Rumyantzeva, 2006). Amongst all, it is pregnant women and mothers with young children who are with the highest risk for poor emotional response and more frequent mental health complications after a nuclear accident (Adams et al., 2002; Bromet et al., 2011).
