- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIn April 2004, one of the largest aflaroxicosis outbreaks occurred in rural Kenya, resulting in 317 cases and 125 deaths. Aflatoxin-contaminated homegrown maize was the source of the outbreak, but the extent of regional...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWe describe an ongoing collaboration that developed as academic investigators responded to a specific request from community members to document health effects on black women of employment in poultry-processing plants in...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedChronic exposure to arsenic is occurring throughout South and East Asia due to groundwater contamination of well water. Variability in susceptibility to arsenic toxicity may be related to nutritional status. Arsenic is...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe Environmental Science of Drinking Water By Patrick J. Sullivan, Franklin J. Agardy, and James. J.J. Clark Burlington, MA:Elsevier, 2005. 368 pp. ISBN: 0-7506-7876-3, $59.95 cloth Our ever-increasing knowledge of...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe objective of this study was to evaluate associations between short-term (hourly) exposures to particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters < 2.5 µm ([PM.sub.2.5]) and the fractional concentration of nitric oxide in...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIn epidemiologic studies, exposure assessments of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) assume a fixed elimination rate. Recent data suggest a dose-dependent elimination rate for TCDD. A physiologically based...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWe measured fractional exhaled nitric oxide ([FE.sub.NO]), spirometry, blood pressure, oxygen saturation of the blood (Sa[O.sub.2]), and pulse rate in 16 older subjects with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIn recent years there have been a significant number of publications on the benefits and challenges of community-based participatory research (CBPR). In this introduction we give an overview of three projects presented...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThis study sought to determine whether wild white sturgeon from the Columbia River (Oregon) were exhibiting signs of reproductive endocrine disruption. Fish were sampled in the free-flowing portion of the river (where...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), derived largely from fossil fuels and their combustion, are pervasive contaminants in rivers, lakes, and nearshore marine habitats. Studies after the Exxon Valdez oil spill...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIn this article we describe a research partnership between the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation and scientists at the University at Albany, State University of New York, initiated to address community and scientific concerns...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWhat does the word "fermentation" bring to mind? Beer? Bread? Ethanol derived from corn and other plant matter? How about succinate? Since 2001, biochemist George Bennett and bioengineer Ka-Yiu San, both professors at...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIt is still unknown whether the associations between particulate matter (PM) and heart rate variability (HRV) differ by particle sizes with aerodynamic diameters between 0.3 µm and 1.0 µm ([PM.sub.0.3-1.0]), between 1.0...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: 3-Methylfuran (3-MF) is a common fungal volatile product with active biologic properties, and previous studies have indicated a contribution to airway disease. The aim of the present study was to assess the...
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIn this study we evaluated residential location as a potential determinant for exposure to organochiorine compounds. We investigated the geographic distribution characteristics of organochlorine levels in approximately...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThere was an error in Figure 2 of Zeman et al. [Environ Health Perspect 110:817-822 (2002)]: the y-axis should have been labeled "Nitrite" instead of "Nitrate." The corrected figure appears below. In Giusi et al....
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIn response to concerns regarding arsenic in soil from a pesticide manufacturing plant, we conducted a biomonitoring study on children younger than 7 years of age, the age category of children most exposed to soil. Urine...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedToxicologic studies have demonstrated associations between growth-related birth outcomes and exposure to high concentrations of disinfection by-products (DBPs), including specific trihalomethane (THM) and haloacetic acid...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWe read with interest the article by Kalinich et al. (2005) on the generation of rhabdomyosarcomas from "embedded weapons-grade tungsten alloy." Although the study design and the reported findings are of great interest,...
- 20From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 113, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect of long-term ambient particulate matter (PM) on risk of fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). A cohort of 3,239 nonsmoking, non-Hispanic white adults was followed for 22...
