Dietary exposures to selected metals and pesticides.
Average daily dietary exposures to 11 contaminants were estimated for approximately 120,000 U.S. adults by combining data on annual diet, as measured by a food frequency questionnaire, with contaminant residue data for table-ready foods that were collected as part of the annual U.S. Food and Drug Administration Total Diet Study. The contaminants included in the analysis were four heavy metals (...
متن کاملLongitudinal investigation of dietary exposure to selected pesticides.
Between September 1995 and September 1996, 4-day composite duplicate plate samples (379 solid food samples and 303 beverage samples) were obtained from a stratified random sample of 75 individuals in Maryland and analyzed for the presence of 10 pesticides. Samples were collected in each of six approximately equally spaced cycles as part of a larger pilot investigation of longitudinal exposure t...
متن کاملResidential exposures to pesticides and childhood leukaemia.
Like many chemicals, carcinogenicity of pesticides is poorly characterised in humans, especially in children, so that the present knowledge about childhood leukaemia risk derives primarily from epidemiological studies. Overall, case-control studies published in the last decade have reported positive associations with home use of insecticides, mostly before the child's birth, while findings for ...
متن کاملEndocrine Disruption in Human Fetal Testis Explants by Individual and Combined Exposures to Selected Pharmaceuticals, Pesticides, and Environmental Pollutants
BACKGROUND Numerous chemicals are capable of disrupting androgen production, but the possibility that they might act together to produce effects greater than those of the most effective component in the mixture has not been studied directly in human tissues. Suppression of androgen synthesis in fetal life has been associated with testis maldescent, malformations of the genitalia at birth, and p...
متن کاملDose-mortality responses of crawfish and mosquitoes to selected pesticides.
A study was conducted to determine the toxicities (LC50S) of several pesticides on the commercially important red swamp crawfish, Procambarus clarkii, and 3 mosquito species common in Louisiana ricelands--Anopheles quadrimaculatus, Culex salinarius and Psorophora columbiae. Pesticides tested in laboratory bioassays included Bacillus sphaericus, B. thuringiensis var. israelensis, bendiocarb, gly...
