Adrianna Petryna has a PhD in anthropology and is a professor of such at the University of Pennsylvania. This shows that she has a background in the humanity and relations perspective of the issues that she addresses. Therefore, the scientific information about Chernobyl and other situations she discusses are likely based on research that she read, rather than on her own reasearch and experiences,.

I looked up Turkish marriage traditions, EMS systems, and the languages spoken.

Many of the citations are from the MSF compilation, but others are clearly other studies or research articles. They are all from the past 20 years or so, since humanitarian and womens' sexual rights gained popularity and momentum around that time.

More one-on-one interviews with the healthcare workers - finding out how they deal with situations, what situations are too common, why policies are the way they are, and what changes would make sense - finacially, health-wise, wait-time-wise, etc.

This article is more based on the response to disease spread, rather than response to a single emergency event.

Emergency response is briefly mentioned as something to consider in risk vs security in situations. The safety of emergency responders is important, but making every person take measures to prevent every disease may not be practical. The importance of vaccinating emergency responders was also mentioned.

The government should not edit the EPA's notices and warnings.

There should be far more safety information given to first responders and people living/working in a dangerous area. If they are not actively saving lives, they should not be risking their own lives - like in the rubble cleanup for 9/11.
