- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown associations between air pollution and risk for lung cancer. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether traffic and the concentration of nitrogen oxides ([NO.sub.x]) at the residence are...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAccess to electricity contributes to good health by powering infrastructure for clean drinking water and sanitation and by reducing the need for indoor burning of coal, wood, and other solid fuels. But these benefits...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Preterm delivery and preeclampsia are common adverse pregnancy outcomes that have been inconsistendy associated with ambient air pollutant exposures. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to prospectively examine...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAir pollution in China reflects a combination of traditional and modern-day factors. Severe air pollution in Chinese cities is the result of rapid industrialization, urbanization, and growth in vehicle use. At the same...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used organophosphorus pesticide (OP), is metabolized to CPF-oxon, a potent cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor, and trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCPy). Urinary TCPy is often used as a...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedStrontium-90 is a radioactive by-product of fission reactions within nuclear reactors that generate electricity. About 3% of the mass of spent nuclear fuel consists of fission products including strontium-90.' Because...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMany studies have shown consistent associations between indoor dampness or mold and respiratory or allergic health effects, but causal links remain unclear. Mendell et al. (p. 748) evaluated literature reports for...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAlthough public concern has focused on the environmental impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the public health impact on a broad range of coastal communities is uncertain. Grattan et al. (p. 838) determined the...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVES: We examined the extent to which consensus exists on the criteria that should be used for assessing the credibility of a scientific work, regardless of its funding source, and explored how these criteria...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) sorbed to fine atmospheric particulate matter (PM ) increase inhalation cancer risk in exposed populations. In China each year, an estimated 6.5 people per million develop lung...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedKessler (2011) provided a valuable update on the current state of research and regulatory policy concerning nanomaterials. However, the article could give the misleading impression that the precautionary principle...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The growing health risks associated with greenhouse gas emissions highlight the need for new energy policies that emphasize efficiency and low-carbon energy intensity. OBJECTIVES: We assessed the...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedUntil recently, scientists didn't think of autoimmune illnesses as a group of related conditions. Today, however, autoimmune diseases as a whole are recognized as among the leading causes of death among young and...
