Conference on biometeorological consequences of environmental controls. Housing: introductory remarks.

About a decade ago I wrote a review of the relations of indoor to outdoor atmospheric conditions (1). In the interval, the major substantive contributions in this field have been in the air quality field. A comprehensive review of this area, covering the entire literature since the 1930's has been published by EPA (2). Another rather interesting monograph has just appeared, in which the meteoro...

Biometeorological consequences of environmental controls: overview.

We have studied the genetic alterations acquired during selection of a cloned human leukaemic cell line (CEM/VP-1) that is 15-fold more resistant to the anticancer topoisomerase Il-inhibitor etoposide than parental CCRF-CEM cells. CEM/VP-1 cells exhibit an 'atypical MDR' phenotype: cross resistance to other topo II inhibitors (but not Vinca alkaloids) and expression of a drug-resistant topo II ...

Conference on health consequences of environmental controls: impact of mobile emissions controls. Conference objectives.

The past and current EPA research and regulatory programs as they relate to non-regulated emissions from light-duty motor vehicles are reviewed. Provisions of Sections 202(a) and 211 of the 1970 Clean Air Act Amendments are discussed and their relationships to the nonregulated emissions issue detailed. The EPA position regarding non-regulated emissions from oxidation catalyst-equipped vehicles ...

Introductory Remarks for the Press Conference

Conference on health consequences of environmental controls: impact of mobile emissions controls. The public interest: overview.

In 231 colorectal carcinomas, allele variation at four restriction fragments length polymorphisms (RFLP) loci on chromosome 17 have been studied by Southern analysis. Heterozygous loss of the TP53 gene was found in 68% (129/189) of the carcinomas informative on both chromosome arms. In 41% (77/189) of the carcinomas the loss was found only on 17p. Two probes were used to detect alterations on 1...
