Low-Level Ozone Exposure and Respiratory Symptoms in Infants
OBJECTIVE Recent studies indicate that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ozone standards may not protect sensitive individuals. In this study we examined respiratory effects of ozone in infants who may be vulnerable, particularly if they are children of asthmatic mothers. DESIGN Women delivering babies at one of five hospitals in southwestern Virginia between 1994 and 1996 were i...
متن کاملPesticide exposure and subjective symptoms of cut-flower farmers
Sales of cut-flowers depend much on the outer appearance of the flowers. They are not intended to be used as foodstuffs; thus, pesticides are used more liberally for cut flower growing than for other agricultural products. Flower production is often carried out in greenhouses; therefore, pesticide exposure seems to reach not only the person spraying the pesticides, but also the non-spraying wor...
متن کاملRisk of chronic effects on the central nervous system at low toluene exposure.
This study evaluates the chronic effects on the central nervous system of exposure to low concentrations of toluene (TWA < 20 ppm) on workers in a rotogravure plant. Ninety-eight male workers from a selection pool of 107 (92%) were examined neuropsychologically using a Cognitive Function Scanner, and neurologically by computerized methods measuring co-ordination ability, tremor and position sta...
متن کامل3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy) and alcohol interactions in humans: psychomotor performance, subjective effects, and pharmacokinetics.
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is frequently consumed in association with alcohol. The effect of this combination in humans has not been previously investigated. Nine male healthy volunteers received single oral doses of 100 mg of MDMA plus 0.8 g/kg ethanol, 100 mg of MDMA, 0.8 g/kg of ethanol, and placebo in a double blind, double dummy, randomized crossover trial. Measurements inclu...
متن کاملChronic low-level mercury exposure, BDNF polymorphism, and associations with self-reported symptoms and mood.
Recent reports have described neurobehavioral impairments in human subjects carrying a V66M polymorphism in the gene encoding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Inasmuch as ventral nervous system (CNS) deficits associated with this BDNF polymorphism are similar to those observed among subjects with chronic exposure to elemental mercury (Hg degrees ), we examined the potential effect of t...
