Molecular evidence of an interaction between prenatal environmental exposures and birth outcomes in a multiethnic population.
Inner-city, minority populations are high-risk groups for adverse birth outcomes and also are more likely to be exposed to environmental contaminants, including environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found in urban air. In a sample of nonsmoking African-American and Dominican women, we evaluated the effects on birth outcomes of...
متن کاملEnvironmental exposures and respiratory outcomes in children.
Asthma is a complex condition where genetic and environmental interactions occur at critical periods in development. The focus of this review was the role of environmental exposures on asthma causation. Selected studies published in 2010 and 2011 were reviewed to illustrate the challenge in relating environmental exposure(s) on asthma causation and also to focus on some exposures currently thou...

متن کاملPrenatal Phenol and Phthalate Exposures and Birth Outcomes
BACKGROUND Many phthalates and phenols are hormonally active and are suspected to alter the course of development. OBJECTIVE We investigated prenatal exposures to phthalate and phenol metabolites and their associations with body size measures of the infants at birth. METHODS We measured 5 phenol and 10 phthalate urinary metabolites in a multiethnic cohort of 404 women in New York City durin...
متن کاملGeocoding accuracy and the recovery of relationships between environmental exposures and health
BACKGROUND This research develops methods for determining the effect of geocoding quality on relationships between environmental exposures and health. The likelihood of detecting an existing relationship - statistical power - between measures of environmental exposures and health depends not only on the strength of the relationship but also on the level of positional accuracy and completeness o...
