Influence of Air Pollution Exposures on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: a ReviewCurrent Environmental Health Reports - - Trang 1-7 - 2023
Li-Hao Guo, Mohammed Zeeshan, Guo-Feng Huang, Duo-Hong Chen, Min Xie, Jun Liu, Guang-Hui Dong
The increasing prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) contributes to the rise in cardiovascular disease. Previous research has established a connection between air pollution and both the development and severity of CRFs. Given the ongoing impact of air pollution on human health, this review aims to summarize the latest research findings and provide an overview of the relationship betwee...... hiện toàn bộ
Integrating -Omics Approaches into Human Population-Based Studies of Prenatal and Early-Life ExposuresCurrent Environmental Health Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 328-337 - 2018
Todd M. Everson, Carmen J. Marsit
We present the study design and methodological suggestions for population-based studies that integrate molecular -omics data and highlight recent studies that have used such data to examine the potential impacts of prenatal environmental exposures on fetal health. Epidemiologic studies have observed numerous relationships between prenatal exposures (smoking, toxic metals, endocrine disruptors) and...... hiện toàn bộ
Little to Give, Much to Gain—What Can You Do With a Dried Blood Spot?Current Environmental Health Reports - Tập 7 - Trang 211-221 - 2020
Bryttany McClendon-Weary, Diane L. Putnick, Sonia Robinson, Edwina Yeung
Technological advances have allowed dried blood spots (DBS) to be utilized for various measurements, helpful in population-based studies. The following is a review of the literature highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of DBS and describing their use in multiple areas of research. DBS can track pollutant exposure to understand their impact on health. DBS can also be used for (epi-)genetic...... hiện toàn bộ
Supporting Decarbonization of Health Systems—A Review of International Policy and Practice on Health Care and Climate ChangeCurrent Environmental Health Reports - - Trang 1-13 - 2024
Emily Hough, Arielle Cohen Tanugi-Carresse
Healthcare is a significant contributor of carbon emissions, which contribute to climate change. There has been an increased focus on the role healthcare should play in reducing emissions in recent years. This review, completed in September and October 2022, explored national commitments among 73 countries to reduce emissions from healthcare and the policies and delivery plans that exist to suppor...... hiện toàn bộ
A scoping review of multigenerational impacts of grandparental exposures on mental health in grandchildrenCurrent Environmental Health Reports - - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Jingyuan Xiao, Anushka Jain, Giselle Bellia, Kate Nyhan, Zeyan Liew
The multigenerational effects of grandparental exposures on their grandchildren’s mental health and neurodevelopment are gaining research attention. We conducted a scoping review to summarize the current epidemiological studies investigating pregnancy-related and environmental factors that affected grandparental pregnancies and mental health outcomes in their grandchildren. We also identified meth...... hiện toàn bộ
Trends in Exposure to Chemicals in Personal Care and Consumer ProductsCurrent Environmental Health Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 348-355 - 2015
Antonia M. Calafat, Liza Valentin-Blasini, Xiaoyun Ye
Synthetic organic chemicals can be used in personal care and consumer products. Data on potential human health effects of these chemicals are limited—sometimes even contradictory—but because several of these chemicals are toxic in experimental animals, alternative compounds are entering consumer markets. Nevertheless, limited information exists on consequent exposure trends to both the original ch...... hiện toàn bộ
Microbial Indicators of Fecal Pollution: Recent Progress and Challenges in Assessing Water QualityCurrent Environmental Health Reports - Tập 7 - Trang 311-324 - 2020
David A. Holcomb, Jill R. Stewart
Fecal contamination of water is a major public health concern. This review summarizes recent developments and advancements in water quality indicators of fecal contamination. This review highlights a number of trends. First, fecal indicators continue to be a valuable tool to assess water quality and have expanded to include indicators able to detect sources of fecal contamination in water. Second,...... hiện toàn bộ
Risk Communication Strategies: Lessons Learned from Previous Disasters with a Focus on the Fukushima Radiation AccidentCurrent Environmental Health Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 348-359 - 2016
Erik R. Svendsen, Ichiro Yamaguchi, Toshihide Tsuda, Jean Remy Davee Guimaraes, Martin Tondel
It has been difficult to both mitigate the health consequences and effectively provide health risk information to the public affected by the Fukushima radiological disaster. Often, there are contrasting public health ethics within these activities which complicate risk communication. Although no risk communication strategy is perfect in such disasters, the ethical principles of risk communication ...... hiện toàn bộ
A Systematic Review of the Interplay Between Social Determinants and Environmental Exposures for Early-Life OutcomesCurrent Environmental Health Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 287-301 - 2016
Allison A. Appleton, Elizabeth A. Holdsworth, Laura D. Kubzansky
Early-life social and environmental exposures have independent effects on many child health outcomes. Increasingly, investigators have suggested that these exposures, which commonly co-occur, may have synergistic effects and have thus begun to evaluate if environmental and social factors jointly contribute to child health. This systematic review summarizes findings and methodological approaches ac...... hiện toàn bộ
