- 1From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground To confirm or refute the hypothesis that the morbidity of children (since birth to age 5) born and living in the heavily polluted (PM.sub.10, benzo[a]pyrene) eastern part of Ostrava, Czech Republic, was...
- 2From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cellphone and cordless phone use is very prevalent among early adolescents, but the extent and types of use is not well documented. This paper explores how, and to what extent, New Zealand adolescents are...
- 3From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Epidemiologic studies and animal models suggest that in utero arsenic exposure affects fetal health, with a negative association between maternal arsenic ingestion and infant birth weight often observed....
- 4From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn their new paper, Bellanger and coauthors show substantial economic impacts to the EU from neurocognitive impairment associated with methylmercury (MeHg) exposures. The main source of MeHg exposure is seafood...
- 5From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAssessing the detrimental health effects of chemicals requires the extrapolation of experimental data in animals to human populations. This is achieved by applying a default uncertainty factor of 100 to doses not found...
- 6From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The growing interest in research on the health effects of near-highway air pollutants requires an assessment of potential sources of error in exposure assignment techniques that rely on residential...
- 7From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Studies that have evaluated the association between exposure to gas appliances emissions at home with respiratory health in children obtained heterogeneous and limited results. The aim of this study is to...
- 8From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground This study examined the association between unusually high temperature and daily mortality (1997-2007) and hospital admissions (1997-2010) in the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Region (GMR) to assist in the...
- 9From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Anniston, Alabama, is the site of a former Monsanto plant where polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were manufactured from 1929 until 1971. Residents of Anniston are known to have elevated levels of PCBs. The...
- 10From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground We assessed indoor air quality in photocopier centers and investigated whether occupational exposure to emissions from photocopiers is associated with decline in lung function or changes in haematological...
- 11From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Bicycle commuting in an urban environment of high air pollution is known to be a potential health risk, especially for susceptible individuals. While risk management strategies aimed to reduce exposure to...
- 12From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedDespite China's leaded gasoline phase out in 2000, the continued high rates of lead poisoning found in children's blood lead levels reflect the need for identifying and controlling other sources of lead pollution. From...
- 13From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The identification of gene by environment (GxE) interactions has emerged as a challenging but essential task to fully understand the complex mechanism underlying multifactorial diseases. Until now, GxE...
- 14From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Environmental exposures, including dietary contaminants, may influence the developing immune system. This study assesses the association between maternal pre-parturition consumption of seafood and wheeze,...
- 15From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground To study the association between use of wireless phones and meningioma. Methods We performed a case-control study on brain tumour cases of both genders aged 18-75 years and diagnosed during...
- 16From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground DNA adducts are widely used marker of DNA damage induced by environmental pollutants. The present study was designed to explore whether sperm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts were associated...
- 17From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground There is now compelling evidence that epigenetic modifications link adult disease susceptibility to environmental exposures during specific life stages, including pre-pubertal development. Animal studies...
- 18From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Few studies have supported an association between breast cancer and DDT, usually assessed with biomarkers that cannot discern timing of exposure, or differentiate between the accumulation of chronic...
- 19From: Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In recent years, the prevalence of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and eczema symptoms in childhood has considerably increased in developing countries including Bolivia, possibly due to changes in lifestyle,...
