Pesticide Residues in Honey from the Major Honey Producing Forest Belts in GhanaJournal of Environmental and Public Health - Tập 2017 - Trang 1-6 - 2017
Godfred Darko, Jonah Addai Tabi, Michael Adjaloo, Lawrence Sheringham Borquaye
Concentrations of pesticides residues in honey sampled from the major honey
producing forest belts in Ghana were determined. Samples were purposively
collected and extracted using the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective,
Rugged, and Safe) method and analysed for synthetic pyrethroids, organochlorine,
and organophosphate pesticide residues. Aldrin, γ-HCH, β-HCH, ∑endosulfan,
cyfluthrin, cyperme... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of Levels, Speciation, and Toxicity of Trace Metal Contaminants in Selected Shallow Groundwater Sources, Surface Runoff, Wastewater, and Surface Water from Designated Streams in Lake Victoria Basin, UgandaJournal of Environmental and Public Health - Tập 2019 - Trang 1-18 - 2019

The levels, speciation of elements, and toxicity of selected trace metals as
well as other parameters in selected surface water, shallow groundwater sources,
landfill leachate, and associated surface runoff in the Lake Victoria basin,
Uganda, were studied. The WHO guidelines, Ugandan standards, Canadian guidelines
and Swedish EPA were used for assessment. The shallow groundwater was acidic

Organic Compounds Detected in Deciduous Teeth: A Replication Study from Children with Autism in Two SamplesJournal of Environmental and Public Health - Tập 2015 - Trang 1-9 - 2015

Biological samples are an important part of investigating toxic exposures and
disease outcomes. However, blood, urine, saliva, or hair can only reflect
relatively recent exposures. Alternatively, deciduous teeth have served as a
biomarker of early developmental exposure to heavy metals, but little has been
done to assess organic toxic exposures such as pesticides, plastics, or
medications. The pur... hiện toàn bộ

Introduction. Little is known about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) people’s response to smoking cessation interventions. This descriptive
study examined the benefits of a community-based, culturally tailored smoking
cessation treatment program for LGBT smokers.Methods. A total ofN=198LGBT
individuals recruited from clinical practice and community outreach participated

Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals: Associated Disorders and Mechanisms of ActionJournal of Environmental and Public Health - Tập 2012 - Trang 1-52 - 2012
Sam De Coster, Nicolas Van Larebeke
The incidence and/or prevalence of health problems associated with
endocrine-disruption have increased. Many chemicals have endocrine-disrupting
properties, including bisphenol A, some organochlorines, polybrominated flame
retardants, perfluorinated substances, alkylphenols, phthalates, pesticides,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, alkylphenols, solvents, and some household
products including some... hiện toàn bộ
The Associations between Blood and Urinary Concentrations of Metal Metabolites, Obesity, Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, and Dyslipidemia among US Adults: NHANES 1999–2016Journal of Environmental and Public Health - Tập 2021 - Trang 1-13 - 2021
Sarah Swayze, Michael Rotondi, Jennifer L. Kuk
Background. Heavy metals are well known to be associated with cancer outcomes,
but its association with obesity and cardiometabolic risk outcomes requires
further study. Methods. Adult data from the National Health and Examination
Survey (NHANES Continuous 1999–2016, n = 12,636 to 32,012) with data for blood
or urinary metals concentrations and body mass index were used. The study aim
was twofold:... hiện toàn bộ
Relationship between Flooding and Out Break of Infectious Diseasesin Kenya: A Review of the LiteratureJournal of Environmental and Public Health - Tập 2018 - Trang 1-8 - 2018
Fredrick Okoth Okaka, Beneah D. O. Odhiambo
Flooding can potentially increase the spread of infectious diseases. To enhance
good understanding of the health consequences of flooding and facilitate
planning for mitigation strategies, deeper consideration of the relationship
between flooding and out-break of infectious diseases is required. This paper
examines the relationship between occurrence of floods in Kenya and outbreak of
infectious d... hiện toàn bộ
[Retracted] Emotion Analysis Based on Neural Network under the Big Data EnvironmentJournal of Environmental and Public Health - Tập 2022 Số 1 - 2022
Jing Zhou, Liu Quan-ju
Aiming at the problems of poor emotional tendency prediction effect and low
utilization of syntactic information, this study proposes a big data sentiment
analysis method based on neural network. First, the BERT model is used to
vectorize the input data to reduce the semantic loss when the data is
vectorized; then the word vector is input into the bidirectional LSTM encoder to
obtain data features... hiện toàn bộ
