Hazardous air pollutants and asthma.
Asthma has a high prevalence in the United States, and persons with asthma may be at added risk from the adverse effects of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Complex mixtures (fine particulate matter and tobacco smoke) have been associated with respiratory symptoms and hospital admissions for asthma. The toxic ingredients of these mixtures are HAPs, but whether ambient HAP exposures can induce a...
متن کاملResidential exposure to estrogen disrupting hazardous air pollutants and breast cancer risk: the California Teachers Study.
BACKGROUND Some studies show increased breast cancer risk from exposure to xenoestrogens, but few have explored exposures via ambient air, which could impact large populations. OBJECTIVES This study explored the association between breast cancer risk and residential exposures to ambient estrogen disruptors among participants in a large cohort study, the California Teachers Study. METHODS Pa...
متن کاملHazardous Air Pollutants Special Report
While recent reports have commented on the elevated ambient levels of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in certain areas of Houston, relative to other cities, few studies have assessed the health effects of HAPs for Houstonians and none have evaluated the association between ambient levels of these pollutants and lymphohematopoietic cancer risk in this population. To begin to address this deficit...
متن کاملWeb-Based Access and Visualization of Hazardous Air Pollutants
This paper reports on a project to provide Web-based access to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) extensive model-based summaries of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). As part of EPA’s Cumulative Exposure Project, long-term cumulative concentrations of 148 HAPs for the 60,803 census tracts in the 48 contiguous states have been modeled for 1990. The model results include estimates an...
متن کاملPerinatal exposure to hazardous air pollutants and autism spectrum disorders at age 8.
BACKGROUND Hazardous air pollutants are plausible candidate exposures for autism spectrum disorders. They have been explored in recent studies for their role in the development of these disorders. METHODS We used a prevalent case-control design to screen perinatal exposure to 35 hazardous air pollutants for further investigation in autism etiology. We included 383 children with autism spectru...
