New research has been released which found people who spend more of their lives in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas have a significantly higher risk of premature ‘deaths of despair.'

These kinds of deaths include suicide, drug overdoses and alcohol-related diseases. The findings of the report suggest neighbourhood effects frequently operate independently of individual-level factors, indicating expanding public health beyond individual treatment to wider neighbourhood care may be necessary to help those most in need.

To discuss deprived area’s link to deaths of despair and how best to solve the issue producer Thomas talked to University of Auckland Social Sciences Professor Barry Milne.

On That’s the Spirit, Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham joins us to discuss the Encyclical Letter Magnifica Humanitas of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence. Shabooya!

Last week, the Danish government officially confirmed it will be lowering the legal limits for nitrate contamination in water according to recommendations from an independent scientific review commissioned by the Danish ministry for the environment.

The change came after outcry from Danish citizens over the country’s pork industry and its links to water contamination. Greenpeace Aotearoa is now saying New Zealand should follow Denmark’s lead and lower their legal nitrate levels to the same point.

There has recently been suggestions New Zealand is in a nitrate crisis, with the Canterbury regional council declaring an emergency last year and Southland is facing increasing calls to do the same.

To discuss the lowering of drinking water nitrate limits producer Thomas talked to Greenpeace freshwater campaigner Will Appelbe.
