Environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are receiving growing concerns
owing to their potentially adverse impacts on human health. Road dust is one
important source of air pollution in most cities and may pose significant health
risks. Characteristics of EPFRs in urban road dusts and its formation
mechanism(s) are still rarely studied. Here, we evaluated occurrence and size
distributions of... hiện toàn bộ
A review of the iodine status of UK pregnant women and its implications for the offspringEnvironmental Geochemistry and Health - Tập 37 - Trang 619-629 - 2015
Sarah C. Bath, Margaret P. Rayman
Iodine, as a component of the thyroid hormones, is crucial for brain development
and is therefore especially important during pregnancy when the brain is
developing most rapidly. While randomised controlled trials of pregnant women in
regions of severe iodine deficiency have shown that prenatal iodine deficiency
causes impaired cognition, less is known of the effects in regions of mild
deficiency.... hiện toàn bộ
Identification of the spatial patterns and controlling factors of Se in soil and rice in Guangxi through hot spot analysisEnvironmental Geochemistry and Health - Tập 45 - Trang 4477-4492 - 2023

Selenium (Se) is essential to human health, anti-cancer, possessing antioxidant,
and antiviral properties. In this study, the spatial patterns of rice Se and
their varying relationship with soil Se on a regional scale were studied using
hot spot analysis for the agricultural soils in Guangxi. According to the hot
and cold spot maps, rice Se correlates positively with soil Se in Guangxi

Exposure to coal mining dust poses a substantial health hazard to individuals
due to the complex mixture of components released during the extraction process.
This study aimed to assess the oxidative potential of residual coal mining dust
on human lymphocyte DNA and telomeres and to perform a chemical characterization
of coal dust and urine samples. The study included 150 individuals exposed to

This study describes spatiotemporal patterns from October 2015 to September 2016
for PM2.5 mass and carbon measurements in rural (Kosmarra), urban (Raipur), and
industrial (Bhilai) environments, in Chhattisgarh, Central India.
Twenty-four-hour samples were acquired once every other week at the rural and
industrial sites. Twelve-hour daytime and nighttime samples were acquired either

Determinants of blood and saliva lead concentrations in adult gardeners on urban agricultural sitesEnvironmental Geochemistry and Health - Tập 44 - Trang 3493-3513 - 2021
Lindsay Bramwell, Jackie Morton, Anne-Helen Harding, Nan Lin, Jane Entwistle
Soil Pb concentrations at urban agriculture sites (UAS) commonly exceed
recommended safe levels. There is a lack of evidence regarding uptake of Pb by
gardeners using such sites for food crops. Our study aimed to elucidate whether
gardening in soil with raised Pb levels results in Pb body burdens of concern to
health, and to assess confounding factors influencing Pb body burden. Our
cross-sectiona... hiện toàn bộ
