- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The putative effects of postmenopausal hormone therapy on the association between particulate matter (PM) air pollution and venous thromboembolism (VTE) have not been assessed in a randomized trial of...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedIn October 2010 the National Organic Standards Board recommended that engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) be prohibited from food products bearing the U.S. Department of Agriculture's coveted Organic label. (1) If the...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Quantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) assays are increasingly being used to inform chemical hazard identification. Hundreds of chemicals have been tested in dozens of cell lines across extensive...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedQuantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) assays are being used more frequently to facilitate chemical hazard identification. Sedykh et al. (p. 364) tested the hypothesis that dose-response data points of qHTS...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMechanisms of cardiovascular injury from exposure to gas and particulate air pollutants are largely uncharacterized. Kodavanti et al. (p. 312) hypothesized that episodic exposure to ozone or diesel exhaust particles...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Exposure to environmental toxicants is associated with numerous disease outcomes, many of which involve underlying immune and inflammatory dysfunction. OBJECTIVES: To address the gap between environmental...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The feminization of nature by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is a key environmental issue affecting both terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. A crucial and as yet unanswered question is whether EDCs have...
