- 1From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Different lines of evidence suggest that low-level lead exposure could be a modifiable risk factor for adverse psychological symptoms, but little work has explored this relation. OBJECTIVE: We assessed...
- 2From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIf jet fuel and synthetic pesticides had existed during your great-grandmother Irene's pregnancy, you might have inherited a potential for infertility that could make you the last in your branch of the family tree. But...
- 3From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) occurs in many occupational settings. There is evidence in animal models that maternal exposure to PAHs during pregnancy is associated with gastroschisis...
- 4From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) released the fourth edition of Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality in July 2011. In this edition, the 400-[mu]g/L drinking-water guideline for manganese (Mn) was...
- 5From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedFDA Delays Enforcement of New Sunscreen Labels When the U.S. FDA announced new rules for sunscreen labeling in June 2011, manufacturers were given a year to comply. (1) In May 2012 the agency announced a six-month...
- 6From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedDiabetes and obesity are two of the most significant public health issues of our day, and both are major epidemics in the United States and abroad. These conditions are interrelated; obesity has been long recognized as...
- 7From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The incidence of asbestos-induced human cancers is increasing worldwide, and considerable evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important mediators of these diseases. Our previous studies...
- 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies of fine particulate matter [aerodynamic diameter [less than or equal to] 2.5 [micro]m ([PM.sub.2.5])] typically use outdoor concentrations as exposure surrogates. Failure to account for...
- 9From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedCould titanium-clean air be how advertisers one day try to sell us the virtues of paint or even clothing that reduces the pollution caused by automobiles? The technology behind such products involves the well-known...
- 10From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical that is routinely detected in > 90% of Americans, promotes experimental asthma in mice. The association of prenatal BPA exposure and wheeze has not been...
- 11From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Measures of prenatal environmental exposures are important, and amniotic fluid levels may directly reflect fetal exposures during hypothesized windows of vulnerability. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to detect...
- 12From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedWe thank Dorea for his comments on the importance of examining breast-feeding and ethylmercury exposure in our study of manganese--lead coexposures and neurodevelopment (Claus Henn et al. 2012). We agree that both...
- 13From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Air pollution is known to cause respiratory disease Unlike motor vehicle sources, fuel-fired power plants are stationary. OBJECTIVE: Using hospitalization data, we examined whether living near a...
- 14From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMillions of people are exposed to inorganic arsenic, a human carcinogen, in drinking water. In vitro and animal studies have shown that malignant cell lines and tumors induced by exposure to inorganic arsenic include...

Low-level environmental cadmium exposure is associated with DNA hypomethylation in argentinean women
BACKGROUND: Cadmium, a common food pollutant, alters DNA methylation in vitro. Epigenetic effects might therefore partly explain cadmium's toxicity, including its carcinogenicity; however, human data on epigenetic... - 16From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe growing use of engineered nanomaterials in consumer products raises questions regarding potential adverse health effects of nanomaterial exposures. Although a considerable amount of research exists on the toxicity...
- 17From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter air pollution ([PM.sub.2.5]; < 2.5 pm in aerodynamic diameter) induces endothelial dysfunction and increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. Endothelial...
- 18From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedYour daily routine has many close encounters with food packaging: For breakfast, cereal from a paperboard box and a can of energy drink. For lunch, canned tuna and a plastic bottle of water. Afternoon snack, a...
- 19From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Methylmercury (MeHg) is a known neurotoxicant. Emerging evidence indicates it may have adverse effects on the neurologic and other body systems at common low levels of exposure. Impacts of MeHg exposure...
- 20From: Environmental Health Perspectives. (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedClaus Henn et al. (2012) addressed a "real world scenario" of exposure to multiple neurotoxic metals in their unique and interesting study. They investigated manganese--lead coexposure and its association with...
