The Cuyahoga Is Still Burning
Almost 40 years ago, in 1969, the Cuyahoga
River caught fire as it flowed through Akron
and Cleveland, Ohio. Although it was not the
only river to burn, the image of this burning
river—the terrible...
Impaired Reproductive Development in Sons of Women Occupationally Exposed to Pesticides during Pregn
The aim of this prospective study was to investigate whether occupational pesticide
exposure during pregnancy causes adverse effects on the reproductive development in the male infants.
Risk of Childhood Cancers Associated with Residence in Agriculturally Intense Areas in the United St
The potential for widespread exposure to agricultural pesticides through drift
during application raises concerns about possible health effects to exposed children living in areas
of high agricultu...
Personal and Ambient Air Pollution Exposures and Lung Function Decrements in Children with Asthma
Epidemiologic studies have shown associations between asthma outcomes and
outdoor air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter mass < 2.5 μm in diameter
(PM2.5). Independent effec...
Prenatal Exposure to Wood Fuel Smoke and Low Birth Weight
Maternal exposure to wood fuel smoke may lead to impaired fetal growth due to
hypoxia and or oxidative stress from smoke constituents such as carbon monoxide and particulate
matter.
Dietary Intake and Its Contribution to Longitudinal Organophosphorus Pesticide Exposure in Urban/Sub
The widespread use of organophosphorus (OP) pesticides has led to frequent exposure
in adults and children. Because such exposure may cause adverse health effects, particularly in
children, the sou...
Risk of Erectile Dysfunction Induced by Arsenic Exposure through Well Water Consumption in Taiwan
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has a profound impact on the quality of life of many men.
Many risk factors are associated with ED, such as aging, sex hormone levels, hypertension, cardiovascular
disease...
Drinking-Water Arsenic Exposure Modulates Gene Expression in Human Lymphocytes from a U.S. Populatio
Arsenic exposure impairs development and can lead to cancer, cardiovascular
disease, and diabetes. The mechanism underlying these effects remains unknown. Primarily because
of geologic sources of c...
Angiogenic Potential of 3-Nitro-4-Hydroxy Benzene Arsonic Acid (Roxarsone)
Roxarsone (3-nitro-4-hydroxy benzene arsonic acid) is an arsenic compound widely
