- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedPrenatal and early-life environmental insults ranging from malnutrition to toxic exposures can tilt the odds toward development of adverse health effects decades later. These effects likely occur, at least in part,...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Placental tissue may furnish information on the exposure of both mother and fetus. Mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) are toxicants of interest in pregnancy because they are associated with...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Prenatal exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has been associated with impaired performance on attention tasks in previous studies, but the extent to which these cognitive...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-Reviewedhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1205573 I read with interest the extensive study on lung cancer and elemental carbon exposure in trucking industry workers (Garshick et al. 2012). I believe that the Cox model setup the...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedResearch on epigenetics has surged in the past two decades as it has become apparent that changes in gene function aside from those related to DNA mutations or natural variations may be integral factors in numerous...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Short-term exposure to ozone has been associated with increased daily mortality. The shape of the concentration-response relationship--and, in particular, if there is a threshold--is critical for estimating...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedSilver nanoparticles are an effective tool for killing disease-causing bacteria. But despite their widespread use in catheters, clothing, toys, cosmetics, and many other products, (1) investigators haven't fully...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been widely used as flame retardants and are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. PBDEs have been linked to adverse neurodevelopment in animals and humans....
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: During May-June 2010, a childhood lead poisoning outbreak related to gold ore processing was confirmed in two villages in Zamfara State, Nigeria. During June-September of that year, villages with suspected...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Although fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in animal models and acute fluoride poisoning causes neurotoxicity in adults, very little is known of its effects on children's neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVE: We...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedLast winter, the discovery of arsenic in foods containing organic brown rice syrup, including toddler formulas, made headlines. Members of the same research team now report higher urinary arsenic concentrations in...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedNew Orleans is already known as a hot, moist place--ideal growing conditions for mold. Now factor in Hurricane Katrina, which hit the city in August of 2005, leaving behind even more indoor mold and other asthma-causing...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Winter temperature inversions--layers of air in which temperature increases with altitude--trap air pollutants and lead to higher pollutant concentrations. Previous studies have evaluated associations...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedWith growing concern over energy use, much of the developed world has adopted compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), which use 25-80% less energy and can last 3-25 times longer than regular incandescent bulbs. (1) A new...
- 15From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: A considerable part of the worldwide production of surgical instruments takes place in Sialkot, Pakistan. Many children work in hazardous conditions in this industry. OBJECTIVE: We investigated exposure...
- 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedHigh levels of naturally occurring arsenic are found in drinking water around the world. Most current methods for detecting arsenic in water involve a long analysis time. A proposed new biosensor combines an artificial...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedGout is a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the blood. High lead exposures have long been associated with gout in adults. Now a new analysis of NHANES data examines potential associations with...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Cadmium is a commonly occurring toxic food contaminant, but health consequences of early-life exposure are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the associations between cadmium exposure and...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-Reviewedhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1205564R We thank Beyea for his comments and would like to respond, in particular, regarding the works he cites in his letter. First, the results of our study are, in fact, consistent...
- 20From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Prenatal exposures to polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) may be associated with adverse changes in fetal and postnatal growth. OBJECTIVE: We explored associations of prenatal serum concentrations of...
