- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: There is broad consensus regarding the health impact of tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure, yet considerable ambiguity exists about the nature and consequences of thirdhand smoke (THS). OBJECTIVES:...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedA new study shows that children aged 12-19 years exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) were nearly twice as likely as nonexposed teens to experience sensorineural hearing loss, a type of hearing loss typically associated...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedA growing body of research suggests that prenatal exposure to air pollution may be harmful to fetal development. Estarlich et al. (p. 1333) studied the association between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIn addition to health burdens from extreme weather events and heat waves, public health workers throughout the world are being advised they can also expect a redistribution of vector-borne and other diseases as a result...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedChildren are particularly susceptible to the health effects of air pollution because they spend more time outdoors, have higher respiratory rates, and breathe in a greater volume of air relative to their body weights....
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedOxidized products of nitric oxide (a physiological regulator of endothelial function and hemodynamics) can form nitrotyrosine, a marker of nitrative stress. Cigarette smoking decreases exhaled nitric oxide, but it is...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely produced endocrine-disrupting chemical. Diet is a primary route of exposure, but internal exposure (serum concentrations) in animals and humans has been measured only after...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedHalogenated analogs of bisphenol A (BPA), including brominated [e.g., tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA)] and chlorinated [e.g., tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA)J bisphenols, are used as flame retardants and have been recently...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: There is limited evidence suggesting that prenatal exposure to ambient air pollutants may increase the risk of stillbirth, but previous epidemiological studies have not elaborated the most susceptible...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAtrazine is a triazine herbicide used widely in the United States. Although atrazine is a carcinogen in animals, evidence for this effect in humans is limited. Beane Freeman et al. (p. 1253) updated a previous analysis...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Both coplanar and noncoplanar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exhibit neurotoxic effects in animal studies, but individual congeners do not always produce the same effects as PCB mixtures. Humans...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The negative health effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are well established for modern human populations but have so far not been studied in prehistoric contexts. PAHs are the main component...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBisphenol A (BPA), an industrial chemical used to manufacture epoxy resins, polycarbonate plastics, and thermal paper, has come under fire because of accumulating evidence of its harmful effects on test animals and,...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe past few years have seen dramatic wildfires around the world, but in many areas people are exposed for substantial periods of time every year to smoke from forest wildfires, prescribed burns, and agricultural field...
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedObjective: A recent Monographs Working Group of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that there is sufficient evidence for a causal association between exposure to asbestos and ovarian...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedAs fire season in the western United States peaks, the U.S. Forest Service is incorporating public comments into a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) published earlier this year (1). The DEIS was developed in...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedDrinking water from natural sources in coastal Bangladesh has become contaminated by salinity due to saltwater intrusion from rising sea levels, cyclone and storm surges, and upstream withdrawal of freshwater. Khan et...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Cooking with biomass fuels on open fires results in exposure to health-damaging pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and particulate matter. OBJECTIVE: We...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBisphenol A (BPA) is a widely produced endocrine-disrupting chemical. Diet is a primary route of exposure, but internal exposure (serum concentrations) in animals and humans has been measured only after single oral...
- 20From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 119, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedConventional methods to detect formaldehyde in air can be time-consuming, expensive, and inadequately sensitive. A team of researchers has designed a nanofiber net that, when used as a coating on a device known as a...
