- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedCairo is known for its poor air quality, with its near-permanent haze a mix of industrial emissions, desert sand, and car exhaust fumes. In March 2006, a small fleet of new taxis hit the streets of Egypt's capital city....
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Otitis media is one of the most common infections in young children. Although exposure to environmental tobacco smoke is a known risk factor associated with otitis media, little information is available...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: The inhalation of radon, a well-established human carcinogen, is the principal--and omnipresent--source of radioactivity exposure for the general population of most countries. Scientists have thus sought to...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedSpatial estimations are increasingly used to estimate geocoded ambient particulate matter (PM) concentrations in epidemiologic studies because measures of daily PM concentrations are unavailable in most U.S. locations....
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedTrichloroethylene (TCE) is a common environmental contaminant at hazardous waste sites and in ambient and indoor air. Assessing the human health risks of TCE is challenging because of its inherently complex metabolism...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) is set to be honored for its Physical Activity and Nutrition program as part of the September 2006 National Congress on Accelerating Improvement in Childhood Obesity in...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The Chernobyl accident in 1986 caused widespread radioactive contamination and enormous concern. Twenty years later, the World Health Organization and the International Atomic Energy Authority issued a...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedFarmers use "ag plastics" for a wide variety of purposes--dairy and silage bags, coverings for crops, wrappings for hay bales, and more--and thousands of tons are burned, buried, or dumped annually. Now Cornell...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe health sector component of the first U.S. National Assessment, published in 2000, synthesized the anticipated health impacts of climate variability and change for five categories of health outcomes: impacts...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedWe analyzed the chest radiographs (CXRs) of 249 clinically healthy children, 230 from southwest Mexico City and 19 from Tlaxcala. In contrast to children from Tlaxcala, children from southwest Mexico City were...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedWe conducted a longitudinal study to assess the exposure of 23 elementary school-age children to pyrethroid pesticides, using urinary pyrethroid metabolites as exposure biomarkers. We substituted most of the children's...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: During August 2003, record high temperatures were observed across Europe, and France was the country most affected. During this period, elevated ozone concentrations were measured all over the country....
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedMuch progress has been made in understanding the complex pharmacokinetics of trichloroethylene (TCE). Qualitatively, it is clear that TCE is metabolized to multiple metabolites either locally or into systemic...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIn their article "First Experimental Demonstration of the Multipotential Carcinogenic Effects of Aspartame Administered in the Feed of Sprague-Dawley Rats," Soffritti et al. (2006) present interesting data on the...
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: We previously demonstrated that among 54 infants in neonatal intensive care units, exposure to polyvinyl chloride plastic medical devices containing the plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Persistent organohalogen pollutant (POP) exposure may have a negative impact on reproductive function. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of POP exposure on the male...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials have been linked to asthma in several epidemiologic studies, but the possible causal factors remain unknown. PARTICIPANTS: We challenged 10 subjects experimentally to...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Extremes of temperature are associated with short-term increases in daily mortality. OBJECTIVES: We set out to identify subpopulations and mortality causes with increased susceptibility to temperature...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: To explore possible associations between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and environmental exposures, we linked the California autism surveillance system to estimated hazardous air pollutant (HAP)...
- 20From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 114, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAlthough only 2.2% of the world's land area is less than 10 meters above sea level, 10% of the world's population--some 600 million people--lives at these low elevations. Of these, 60% live in urban areas. A report in...
