The question of when it would be appropriate to conclude that the associations between particulate pollution and various outcomes (including mortality) should be judged as causal in nature has been difficult and controversial. Although such a judgment must be subject to revision, the volume of new information and new experimental findings has been so great that such a reevaluation is required a...

Numerous epidemiologic time-series studies have shown generally consistent associations of cardiovascular hospital admissions and mortality with outdoor air pollution, particularly mass concentrations of particulate matter (PM) < or = 2.5 or < or = 10 microm in diameter (PM2.5, PM10). Panel studies with repeated measures have supported the time-series results showing associations between PM and...

BACKGROUND The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) investigated the 17 April 2013 explosion at the West Fertilizer Company (WFC) that resulted in 15 fatalities, more than 260 injuries, and damage to more than 150 buildings. Among these structures were four nearby school buildings cumulatively housing children in grades kindergarten-12, a nursing care facility, and an apart...

Administration of the phytoestrogen coumestrol to ovariectomized rats leads to increases in both wet and dry uterine weights in the absence of an increase in uterine DNA content, as reported by Markaverich et al. [Effects of Coumestrol on Estrogen Receptor Function and Uterine Growth in Ovariectomized Rats. Environ Health Perspect 103:574-581 (1995)]. It was not possible to know if the observed...

BACKGROUND Environmental exposures to chemicals have been shown to influence gastrointestinal function, yet little is known regarding whether chemical mixtures may be involved in the development of a subclinical enteric dysfunction found in infants and children born into poor hygiene and sanitation. Advances in gastrointestinal and immunotoxicology fields merit inclusion in complex discussions ...
