- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedA survey of selected scented consumer goods showed the products emitted more than 100 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including some that are classified as toxic or hazardous by federal laws. (1) Even products...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Exposure to arsenic, an established human carcinogen, through consumption of highly contaminated drinking water is a worldwide public health concern. Several mechanisms by which arsenical compounds induce...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Estrogens are potent nongenomic phospho-activators of extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). A major concern about the toxicity of xenoestrogens (XEs) is potential alteration of responses to...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedEfforts to minimize people's exposure to air pollution historically have focused on curbing emissions from tailpipes and smokestacks. But increases in vehicle-kilometers traveled--that is, more cars spending more time...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedReport finds estimates of Gulf Coast exposure to carcinogens off. The Natural Resources Defense Council reports the FDA underestimated seafood consumption by Gulf Coast residents in developing their June 2010...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Silver exposures are rising because of the increased use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products. The monovalent silver ion ([Ag.sup.+]) impairs neurodevelopment in PC12 cells and zebrafish....
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedEnvironmental and occupational risk factors contribute to nearly 40% of the national burden of disease in India [World Health Organization (WHO) 2002], with air pollution ranking among the leading risk factors. Despite...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Anemia and lead exposure remain significant public health issues in many parts of the world, often occurring together. Animal studies suggest that the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) mediates the effects of both...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The C8 Health Project was established in 2005 to collect data on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, or C8) and human health in Ohio and West Virginia communities contaminated by a fluoropolymer production...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Centers (BCERCs) include collaborators from basic sciences, epidemiology, and the community, conducting studies to investigate whether environmental exposures...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: A common link has been exposed, namely, that metal exposure plays a role in obesity and in Parkinson's disease (PD). This link may help to elucidate mechanisms of neurotoxicity. OBJECTIVE: We reviewed the...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAmong the many touted benefits of nanotechnology, one of the most alluring is the possibility that it will help reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Researchers and industry analysts foresee lighter and more efficient...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Global hypomethylation of DNA is thought to constitute an early event in some cancers and occurs in response to arsenic (As) exposure and/or selenium (Se) deficiency in both in vitro and animal models. In...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Human exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs), a potent oxidative stressor, causes various dermal disorders, including hyperkeratosis and skin cancer. Nuclear factor--erythroid 2--related factor 1 (NRF1, also...
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn the article by Breen et al. [Environ Health Perspect 118:265-272 (2010)], there is an error on page 267. In the first line below Equation 3, the subscript in the mathematical variable is incorrect;...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe body produces estrogens--including estrone ([E.sub.1]), estradiol ([E.sub.2]), and estriol ([E.sub.3])--that direct reproductive system processes and contribute to the normal function of tissues including the brain,...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Gestational lead exposure (GLE) produces novel and persistent rod-mediated electroretinographic (ERG) supernormality in children and adult animals. OBJECTIVES: We used our murine GLE model to test the...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Quantifying the benefits of reducing hazardous air pollutants (HAPs, or air toxics) has been limited by gaps in toxicological data, uncertainties in extrapolating results from high-dose animal experiments to...
