Environmental stewardship, sustainability, and planetary health related to infection prevention and control
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Infection prevention and control (IPAC) practices are both impacted by and contribute to climate change and pollution. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) has identified climate change as the greatest global threat of the 21st century. Canada is warming more than twice as fast as the global rate, and the Canadian Arctic almost four times as fast (Rantanen et al., 2022). Extreme weather events from climate change are increasingly impacting the health of Canadians directly, through heat stroke (Adam-Poupart et al., 2014, 2015) and cardiorespiratory issues (Paterson et al., 2012; Levison et al., 2018). Global warming has contributed to the rise in diseases like Lyme disease in Canada, spread by vectors which can now live further north (Ogden et al., 2014; Canadian Medical Association, 2022; Romanello et al., 2024), and the simultaneous emergence of multidrug-resistant Candida auris in three continents may be linked to thermal adaptation (Casadevall et al., 2019).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
