- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedDespite considerable epidemiologic evidence about the health effects of chronic exposure to vehicle exhaust, efforts at defining the extent of risk have been limited by the lack of historical exposure measurements...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Human exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remains widespread. PCBs have been associated with adverse reproductive health outcomes including reduced fecundability and increased risk of pregnancy...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBisphenol A (BPA) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) are high-production, high-volume chemicals used in plastics and resins for food packaging. Human exposure sources have been estimated, but the relative...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedPurchasing fresh, unpackaged foods and avoiding the use of plastic food processing and storage equipment may help consumers minimize their exposure ro bisphenol A (BPA) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phrhalate (DEHP), according...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedDiesel exhaust (DE) is a complex mixture of toxic gaseous and particulate components associated with adverse cardiovascular effects such as arrhythmias. Hazari et al. (p. 951) hypothesized that increased risk of...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Chemicals having estrogenic activity (EA) reportedly cause many adverse health effects, especially at low (picomolar to nanomolar) doses in fetal and juvenile mammals. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedTobacco harm reduction--encouraging the use of cigarette alternatives as a way to reduce the public health impact of smoking--is the subject of fierce debate in the public health community. (1, 2) Some believe such...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedChevrier et al. (p. 1034) assessed the association between adverse birth outcomes and urinary biomarkers of prenatal atrazine (triazine and chloroacetanilide herbicides) exposure, taking into account exposure to other...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Deficits in cognitive function have been demonstrated among workers chronically exposed to solvents, but the neural basis for these deficits has not been shown. OBJECTIVES: We used functional magnetic...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedExposure to particulate air pollution has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Lower blood DNA methylation has been found in processes related to cardiovascular morbidity. Madrigano et...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Current knowledge about Chornobyl-related thyroid cancer risks comes from ecological studies based on grouped doses, case--control studies, and studies of prevalent cancers. Objective: To address this...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedDingemans et al. (p. 900) reviewed the possible mechanisms by which polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their hydroxylated (OH-) or methoxylated metabolites might produce developmental neurotoxicity. Studies in...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedIn the February 2011 issue of EHP, Manuel (2011) took an important look at some potential adverse health implications of home energy retrofits. Here, we further discuss the complexity of possible indoor environmental...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThirty days after the most powerful earthquake and tsunami in Japan's recorded history struck the northeastern coast of that country's main island, the city of Ishinomaki was a scene of devastation. The busy...
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedDuring the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear accident, the then-Soviet republic of Ukraine was hit hard with iodine-131 fallout. Since then, numerous studies have demonstrated a relationship between 1-131 exposure from Chornobyl...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedWe thank Tsuda et al. for sharing their views. Along with their previous publications on Minamata disease, we find their comments useful as a complement to our brief historical review of the mass poisonings in Japan and...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedDeficits in cognitive function have been demonstrated among workers chronically exposed to solvents, but the neural basis for these deficits has not been characterized. Tang et al. (p. 908) used functional magnetic...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThere is increasing evidence that commonly used plastic products may contain or release chemicals that have estrogenic activity (EA). Yang et al. (p. 989) investigated whether commercially available plastic resins and...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedTo study the relationship between particulate matter (PM) air pollution and cardiac disease, He et al. (p. 927) examined the association between exposure to fine PM [aerodynamic diameter [less than or equal to] 2.5 pm...
- 20From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The findings of prior studies of air pollution effects on adverse birth outcomes are difficult to synthesize because of differences in study design. OBJECTIVES: The International Collaboration on Air...
