NIEHS and CDC track human exposure to endocrine disruptors.
-The gut microcolony assay has been used to measure damage to intestinal crypts by single and split doses of 3 alkylating agents: mechlorethamine hydrochloride (HN2), bis-chloroethyl-nitrosourea (BCNU) and isopropyl methane sulphonate (IMS). The single-dose survival curves for whole crypts were distinguished by extrapolation numbers (3-0, 176 and 15 respectively) that were lower than most previ...
متن کاملAssessment of human exposure to chemicals from Superfund sites.
Assessing human exposure to chemicals from Superfund sites requires knowledge of basic physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring in the environment and specific information about the local environment and population in the vicinity of sites of interest. Although progress is being made in both areas, there is still a tremendous amount to be done. Participants at this meeting have id...
متن کاملThe CDC fourth national report on human exposure to environmental chemicals: what it tells us about our toxic burden and how it assist environmental medicine physicians.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) conducts ongoing assessments of the levels of environmental chemicals in the U.S. population. This ongoing study utilizes lab samples from the individuals who are part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The NHANES samples from the years 1999-2000, 2001-2002, and 2003-2004 (each representing about 2,400 individuals) were used f...
متن کاملCDC Updates Guidelines for Children’s Lead Exposure

متن کاملHExpoChem: a systems biology resource to explore human exposure to chemicals
SUMMARY Humans are exposed to diverse hazardous chemicals daily. Although an exposure to these chemicals is suspected to have adverse effects on human health, mechanistic insights into how they interact with the human body are still limited. Therefore, acquisition of curated data and development of computational biology approaches are needed to assess the health risks of chemical exposure. Here...
