Assessing developmental toxicant exposures via biomonitoring.
Most of the developmental effects that populations experience are believed to be linked with their exposure scenario and/or their susceptibility to these exposures. In environmental public health, most studies have focused on exposures to environmental chemicals but certainly other environmental factors and susceptibility factors must be considered. Our laboratory assesses exposure to environme...
متن کاملOf decrements and disorders: assessing impairments in neurodevelopment in prospective studies of environmental toxicant exposures
Prenatal and early life neurodevelopment is exquisitely sensitive to insult from environmental exposures. Identifying the effects of environmental toxicants on neurodevelopmental disorders is particularly important from a public health perspective because many of these exposures are modifiable and may be targeted for intervention. Studying these associations in prospective cohort studies that m...
متن کاملComplex exposures: potentials for assessing integrated exposures.
To determine empirically the most probable mode of interaction of chemicals given in combination, major occupational health, environmental health, and toxicology journals published in the past 10 years were sorted by eye for studies on noncarcinogenic and nonteratogenic effects of industrial and environmental chemicals in combination. Of the 159 relevant studies, 49 reported "more than additive...
متن کاملEmerging exposures of developmental toxicants.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to identify emerging developmental toxicants that are understudied in children's health. Exposures may arise from new products designed to improve utility, to reduce toxicity, or to replace undesirable chemicals. Exposures to less-toxic chemicals may also be significant if they are very commonly used, thereby generating widespread exposure. Source...
متن کاملChemical Exposures: Exploring Developmental Origins of Obesity
In the past 20 years, obesity rates across the developed world have skyrocketed. About one-third of U.S. adults are overweight and another third are obese, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Similarly, more than one-third of U.S. children are overweight or at risk for overweight. The result is a host of health problems for millions of people, incl...
