- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Research suggests that independent and joint effects of genetic variability in the dopamine transporter (DAT) locus and pesticides may influence Parkinson's disease (PD) risk. MATERIALS and Methods: In 324...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedScientists increasingly find that exposure to toxicants during critical periods of pre- and perinatal development can have long-lasting effects that increase the risk of reduced fertility, reproductive tumors, and breast...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The etiology of childhood brain cancer remains largely unknown. However, previous studies have yielded suggestive associations with parental pesticide use. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate parental exposure...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIn summer 2008 an unprecedented algal bloom almost caused the cancellation of the Olympic Games' sailing events in the regatta city of Qingdao, China. It took more than 10,000 people to clean up over 1 million tons of...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are found globally in wildlife and humans and are suspected to act as endocrine disruptors. There are no previous reports of PFAA levels in adult men from Denmark or of a possible...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Concern for children exposed to elemental mercury prompted the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to review the sources of elemental mercury...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Recent evidence has shown that humans metabolize benzene more efficiently at environmental air concentrations than at concentrations > 1 ppm. This led us to speculate that an unidentified metabolic pathway...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedGenetic research is beginning to provide potential insights on why some people are more vulnerable than others to various pollutants. Now a few more pieces can be added to the extraordinarily complex puzzle. In the April...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-Revieweddoi: 10.1289/ehp.12620 Science plays a critical role in arbitrating the safety and efficacy of consumer and industrial products. Just as critical is the role of scientific journals, which can give published science the...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Although many studies have examined the effects of air pollution on mortality, data limitations have resulted in fewer studies of both particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 µm...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedSustaining Life: How Human Health Depends on Biodiversity Edited by Eric Chivian and Aaron Bernstein New York:Oxford University Press, 2008. 542 pp. ISBN: 978-0-19-517509-7, $34.95 We share this planet with millions...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMuch of our exposure to endocrine disruptors occurs through what we eat and drink--in some cases, chemicals such as plasticizers may have migrated from food or beverage packaging. The possibility that these chemicals end...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAdvances in Molecular Toxicology, Vol. 3 James C. Fishbein, ed. St. Louis, MO: Elsevier, 2009. 216 pp. ISBN: 978-0-444-53357-9. $235 Advice on the Department of Energy's Cleanup Technology Roadmap: Gaps and...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-Revieweddoi:10.1289/ehp.0800532R I welcome the opportunity to respond to the comments of Mavis and DeSesso regarding our article on the developmental effects of perchlorate exposure on brain function (Gilbert and Sui 2008)....
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Population - based studies have estimated health risks of short - term exposure to fine particles using mass of [PM.sub.2.5] (particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter) as the indicator. Evidence...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIndustrialized aquaculture (an umbrella term for various methods of domesticated fish production) is the world's fastest-growing animal food production system and recently surpassed wild catch as the source of the...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Understanding the progression from beryllium exposure (BeE) to chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is essential for optimizing screening and early intervention to prevent CBD. METHODS: We developed an analytic...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedWidespread exposure to a variety of neurotoxic chemicals has been posited as one potential factor behind what has been called a "silent pandemic" of autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, and other...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 117, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Exposure to arsenic is a critical risk factor in the complex interplay among genetics, the environment, and human disease. Despite the potential for in utero exposure, the mechanism of arsenic action on...
