  • Resistance & Reclamation
    Resistance & Reclamation A study of joint CSO / local group efforts to contest land grabs in Myanmar’s rural communities By Elliott Prasse­Freeman for Land Core Group ­ Publication date: September 2016 – Funded by: Acknowledgement We thank the LIFT donors, the European Union and government of Australia, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America for their kind contributions to improving the livelihoods and food security of rural people in Myanmar. Cover photo: Farmland in Kangydaung, Ayeyarwady by Laurien Petri Disclaimer: This document has been produced with financial assistance from Australia, Denmark, the European Union, France, Ireland, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The views expressed herein can in no way be taken to reflect the official opinion of the European Union or the governments of Australia, Denmark, France, Ireland, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Executive Summary This research in Ayeyawaddy and Kachin suggests that trainings on knowledge about new laws and policies pertaining to land issues can be used by regional CSOs in partnership with local farmer and fisher groups to successfully advocate to government (and other relevant parties) for the reclamation of previously grabbed land. Local groups can also use this legal knowledge as part of protection strategies, as reflected in successful applications for communal forests and lands. However, while knowledge of the law itself is necessary, it is not sufficient – it must be used instrumentally as part of a coordinated set of tactics deployed by the CSOs and the local groups.

  • Peripheral Neuropathy Induced by Drinking Water Contaminated with Low-Dose Arsenic in Myanmar
    Mochizuki et al. Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine (2019) 24:23 Environmental Health and https://doi.org/10.1186/s12199-019-0781-0 Preventive Medicine RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Peripheral neuropathy induced by drinking water contaminated with low-dose arsenic in Myanmar Hitoshi Mochizuki1* , Khin Phyu Phyu2, Myo Nanda Aung2, Phyo Wai Zin2, Yasunori Yano3, Moe Zaw Myint4, Win Min Thit4, Yuka Yamamoto5, Yoshitaka Hishikawa6, Kyaw Zin Thant2, Masugi Maruyama7 and Yoshiki Kuroda5 Abstract Background: More than 140 million people drink arsenic-contaminated groundwater. It is unknown how much arsenic exposure is necessary to cause neurological impairment. Here, we evaluate the relationship between neurological impairments and the arsenic concentration in drinking water (ACDW). Participants and methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. We performed medical examinations of 1867 residents in seven villages in the Thabaung township in Myanmar. Medical examinations consisted of interviews regarding subjective neurological symptoms and objective neurological examinations of sensory disturbances. For subjective neurological symptoms, we ascertained the presence or absence of defects in smell, vision, taste, and hearing; the feeling of weakness; and chronic numbness or pain. For objective sensory disturbances, we examined defects in pain sensation, vibration sensation, and two-point discrimination. We analyzed the relationship between the subjective symptoms, objective sensory disturbances, and ACDW. Results: Residents with ACDW ≥ 10 parts per billion (ppb) had experienced a “feeling of weakness” and “chronic numbness or pain” significantly more often than those with ACDW < 10 ppb. Residents with ACDW ≥ 50 ppb had three types of sensory disturbances significantly more often than those with ACDW < 50 ppb. In children, there was no significant association between symptoms or signs and ACDW.

In accordance with the ‘all hazards’ approach to public health risk, this systematic review examines poisoning and toxic exposures in Myanmar. A systematic literature search was undertaken to find articles pertaining to poisoning in Myanmar published between 1998 and 2020. A number of poisoning risks are identified in this review including snakebites, heavy metals, drugs of abuse, agrochemi- cals and traditional medicine. Patterns of poisoning presented in the literature diverge from poi- soning priorities reported in other lower-middle income countries in the region. The experience of professionals working in a Yangon-based poison treatment unit indicates that frequently observed poisoning as a result of substances including pharmaceuticals, methanol, and petroleum products were absent from the literature.
