The Workshop on Environmental Exposures and Cancer was held by Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) 25-26 April 2001. An expert panel convened to achieve consensus on a list of important environmental exposures, priority environmental exposures in Ontario, and recommendations for CCO in the areas of surveillance, research, and prevention activities to address these environmental exposures. Panel members d...

OBJECTIVE We characterized the prevalence of self-reported environmental exposures, concerns about exposures, and their relationships with somatic symptoms in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraq) (OIF) veterans seeking treatment at a specialty Veterans Affairs (VA) clinic. Concerns about environmental exposures were expected to lead to more reporting...

This paper investigates contagion in financial networks through both debt and collateral markets. We find that the role of is mitigating counterparty exposures reducing but has a phase transition property. Contagion can change dramatically depending on amount relative to exposures. When there an abundance (leverage low), then fully cover exposures, network structure does not matter. adequate mo...

The current study investigated the effects of repetition on learning second language (L2) spoken word forms. Japanese university students L2 English were randomly assigned to one three treatment conditions (one, three, and six exposures) learned 40 words while hearing them viewing their corresponding pictures. A picture-naming test was administered before, immediately after, approximately week ...

The environment plays a major role in influencing diseases and health. The phenomenon of environmental exposure is complex and humans are not exposed to one or a handful factors but potentially hundreds factors throughout their lives. The exposome, the totality of exposures encountered from birth, is hypothesized to consist of multiple inter-dependencies, or correlations, between individual exp...

Exposures to lead have emanated from various sources, including food, throughout human history. Occupational and environmental exposures (especially pica) appear to account for much of the identified human disease, however, food-borne exposures deserve further investigation. Lead residues in food can result from: biological uptake from soils into plants consumed by food animals or man, usage of...

The article focuses on issues relating to occupational exposures of researchers and lab workers, and exposures of bystanders such as health care workers and family members during HSR using nanomaterials. Such third-party exposures give rise to unique challenges relating to oversight as well as exposures to worker groups not previously studied. Given the current state of knowledge regarding heal...

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Poor housing conditions and quality can be linked with residents’environmental exposures, which may contribute to a variety of adverse health outcomes. This systematic literature review will examine around housing, environmental exposure, health; policy implications reduce the impact on exposures. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: identify evaluate published peer-reviewed articles as ...
