(2019-05-27)
Because of the extreme persistence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and their associated risks, the Madrid Statement argues for stopping their use where they are deemed not essential or when safer alternatives ...
Nevada desert dust with heavy metals suppresses IgM antibody production
(2018-02-09)
Systemic health effects from exposure to a complex natural dust containing heavy metals from the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area (NDRA) near Las Vegas, NV, were evaluated. Several toxicological parameters were examined following ...
Differences in the carcinogenic evaluation of glyphosate between the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
(2016-08)
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs Programme identifies chemicals, drugs, mixtures, occupational exposures, lifestyles and per- sonal habits, and physical and biological agents that cause ...
Environmental risk factors for autism
(2011)
Autism is a devastating childhood condition that has emerged as an increasing social concern just as it has increased in prevalence in recent decades. Autism and the broader category of autism spectrum disorders are among ...
Health effects following subacute exposure to geogenic dust collected from active drainage surfaces (Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, Las Vegas, NV)
(2017-01)
The specific health effects of direct inhalation of fine minerogenic dusts generated by natural soil surfaces remain poorly known and relatively little researched. To learn more about this exposure and its contri- bution ...
Health effects from exposure to atmospheric mineral dust near Las Vegas, NV, USA
(2016-09)
Desert areas are usually characterized by a continuous deposition of fine airborne particles. Over time, this process results in the accumulation of silt and clay on desert surfaces. We evaluated health effects associated ...
A single dose of trichloroethylene given during development does not substantially alter markers of neuroinflammation in brains of adult mice
(2017-04-03)
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a widespread environmental contaminant associated with developmental immu- notoxicity and neurotoxicity. Previous studies have shown that MRLþ/þ mice exposed to TCE from gesta- tion through ...
Immune function in female B6C3F1 mice is modulated by DE-71, a commercial polybrominated diphenyl ether mixture
(2012-01-04)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are an important class of flame-retardants that are environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative. Toxicity of these compounds has become a concern because detectable levels of PBDEs ...
