Biomonitoring in environmental medicine – results of LARS
The Leipziger allergy risk study (LARS) investigated, during a period of five years, the influence of a typical indoor contaminant burden on the development of allergies and upper respiratory tract infections in children with an allergy-risk. During the third year of life, biomonitoring with the focus on passive smoking was carried out. Therefore, typical tobacco smoke related indoor volatile o...
متن کاملSelection of multiple seagrass indicators for environmental biomonitoring
The need to monitor the environmental condition of ecosystems worldwide has resulted in a large number of potential bioindicators being proposed in the scientific literature. However, only a few have been validated at an adequate scale to monitor environmental problems and to solve management questions. Here we compiled a list of candidate seagrass indicators (n = 59) obtained from the literatu...
متن کاملDNA adducts and mutations in occupational and environmental biomonitoring.
The methods applied for DNA adduct determination in humans have become more reliable. Yet there is a need to characterize the adducts studied better and when possible, to identify them with the help of the available standard compounds. Use of standard compounds also allows quantification of adduct levels. There is a lack of knowledge on the adduct levels and their half-lives in target and surro...
متن کاملReporting individual results for biomonitoring and environmental exposures: lessons learned from environmental communication case studies
Measurement methods for chemicals in biological and personal environmental samples have expanded rapidly and become a cornerstone of health studies and public health surveillance. These measurements raise questions about whether and how to report individual results to study participants, particularly when health effects and exposure reduction strategies are uncertain. In an era of greater publi...
متن کاملActivity screening of environmental metagenomic libraries reveals novel carboxylesterase families
Metagenomics has made accessible an enormous reserve of global biochemical diversity. To tap into this vast resource of novel enzymes, we have screened over one million clones from metagenome DNA libraries derived from sixteen different environments for carboxylesterase activity and identified 714 positive hits. We have validated the esterase activity of 80 selected genes, which belong to 17 di...
