- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedExposure to extreme heat has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Because of climate change, heat-related mortality is becoming a matter of great public health concern. Huang et al. (p. 1681)...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Cadmium is a nephrotoxicant at high exposure levels. Few studies have evaluated the role of cadmium in kidney function at low-exposure levels. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the association of blood cadmium with...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Computational modeling of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of chemicals is now theoretically able to describe metabolic interactions in realistic mixtures of tens to hundreds of...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedSome studies have suggested that exposure to water disinfection by-products (DBPs) is associated with reduced birth weight and altered duration of gestation, but the data remain inconclusive. Trihalomethanes (THMs) are...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM), used medically to highlight soft tissues, are considered generally safe, and patients excrete 95% of the dose within 24 hours, making; them a valuable tool in medical imaging. But a...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIncreased prostate cancer risk has been reported for pesticide applicators and pesticide manufacturing workers compared with the general population. Although potential mechanisms are unknown, evidence suggests a role of...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAcute exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been linked to premature mortality and morbidity, but questions remain about which components in and what sources of the vast PM mixture are responsible for...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Current air quality standards for particulate matter (PM) use the PM mass concentration [PM with aerodynamic diameters < 10 [micro] m [(PM.sub.10]) or < 2.5 um [(PM.sub.2.5])] as a metric. It has been...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedIf it weren't for the cement pipe segments nearly nine feet in diameter, oversize yellow backhoes, towering piles of sand, and yawning trenches scattering the streets, the section of Toronto near the junction of...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Dozens of studies link acute exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution with premature mortality and morbidity, but questions remain about which species and sources in the vast PM mixture are...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAlthough asbestos causes a range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic human health effects, not all types of asbestos fibers have the same disease-causing potential, and the mode of action (MOA) of specific types of...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedComputer-based modeling is part of a new approach to predictive toxicology. Audouze and Grandjean (p. 1754) investigated the usefulness of an integrated computational systems biology approach in a case study involving...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-Reviewed* Using Social Media to Track Disease * Transportation Noise and Blood Pressure * Persistent Organic Pollutants and Carotid Atherosclerosis in the Elderly * Air Quality and Exercise-Related Health Benefits from...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Previous research indicates increased prostate cancer risk for pesticide applicators and pesticide manufacturing workers. Although underlying mechanisms are unknown, evidence suggests a role of oxidative DNA...
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedTCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin) is a widespread environmental contaminant that disrupts multiple endocrine pathways; it was classified as a known human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Soy-based infant formula contains high levels of isoflavones. These estrogen-like compounds have been shown to induce changes in sexually dimorphic behaviors in animals exposed in early development....
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedRelatively few studies have explored the possible health effects of radiological pollution, a potentially important aspect of water quality. Guseva Canu et al. (p. 1676) comment on the available epidemiological findings...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedSand et al. (p. 1766) used data from the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) 2-year rodent toxicology and carcinogenesis studies as the basis for an empirical study of the properties of different points of departure...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedGlobal climate change is anticipated to reduce cereal yields and food security and thereby increase child undernutrition. The etiology of undernutrition is complex, and there is a need to develop models that better...
- 20From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Aflatoxin, a potent fungal toxin, contaminates 25% of crops worldwide. Since 2004, 477 aflatoxin poisonings associated with eating contaminated maize have been documented in Eastern Kenya, with a...
