There was also support for the “developmental obesogen” hypothesis, which suggests that chemical exposures may increase the risk of obesity by altering the differentiation of adipocytes or the development of neural circuits that regulate feeding behavior. The effects may be most apparent when the developmental exposure is combined with consumption of a high-calorie, high-carbohydrate, or high-fat diet later in life. Research on environmental chemical exposures and type 1 diabetes was very limited. This lack of research was considered a critical data gap. This workshop report outlines the major themes that emerged from the workshop and discu...

This study advanced current knowledge of the human cord blood serum proteome. It showcases the potential of UCB as a diagnostic medium for assessing infant health by detection and identification of candidate biomarkers for known disease pathways using a global, non-targeted approach. These biomarkers may inform on mechanisms of exposure-disease relationships. Furthermore, biomarkers approved by the Food and Drug Administration for screening in adult blood were detected in UCB and represent high-priority targets for immediate validation.

The dominance of pyrethroid use has major implications due to the spread of insecticide resistance with potential to reduce the efficacy of LNs. Insecticide resistance management should be coordinated between disease-specific programs and sectors within the context of an integrated vector management approach.

These observations suggest that PAH exposure was adequate to alter global methylation in our study population. Additional epidemiologic studies that can measure site-specific cytosine methylation and adduct formation will improve our ability to understand this complex molecular pathway in vivo.

Results from this highly exposed cohort provide suggestive evidence that postnatal PCB concentrations may be influential, but a smaller set of 6-month PCB measurements limited statistical power at that time point. Implications regarding impaired immunologic maturation or long-term clinical implications remain to be determined.

Metals, for example, are ubiquitous in the environment, and most of us are exposed to different combinations of metals each day through air, water, and food. Simultaneous exposures to different metals may have synergistic effects in children, whose developing brains are particularly vulnerable to adverse effects from these potentially neurotoxic agents. In this podcast host Ashley Ahearn discusses the neurodevelopmental effects of metals mixtures with researcher Robert O. Wright.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that exposure to p,p’-DDE may be associated with increased rates of XX, XY, and total sex chromosome disomy, whereas exposure to PCBs may be associated with increased

An inverse association was observed between increased exposure to PCBs and XX disomy. Further work is needed to confirm these findings.

Control measures included environmental remediation, chelation therapy, public health education, and control of mining activities.

By contrast, postnatal PCB exposure appears to affect processes associated with error monitoring, an aspect of behavioural regulation required to adequately adapt to the changing demands of the environment, which results in reduced task efficiency.

Moreover, exposure to low O3 concentrations may cause subclinical effects that are only manifested when triggered by a stressor, suggesting that the health effects of ambient levels of air pollutants may be insidious and potentially underestimated (This abstract does not reflect EPA policy).

Interpreting a causal effect of arsenic on hypertension is limited by the small number of studies, the presence of influential studies and the absence of prospective evidence. Additional evidence is needed to evaluate the dose-response relationship between arsenic exposure and hypertension.

An estimated one-third of the global burden of disease afflicting children under the age of 5 is caused by undernutrition. Climate change is anticipated to reduce cereal yields, further threatening food security and potentially increasing child undernutrition. In this podcast, host Ashley Ahearn discusses the connection between climate change and undernutrition with researcher Sari Kovats.

The phthalate metabolite MEHP was associated with higher occurrence of pregnancy loss. Since this is the first human study to show this association and the sample size is small, the findings need to be corroborated in independent studies.

Our sperm findings point to benzene as a possible risk factor for de novo 1p36 deletion syndrome. Because chromosomal aberrations in sperm can arise from defective stem cells/spermatogonia, our findings raise concerns that occupational exposure to benzene may have persistent reproductive effects in formerly exposed workers.

Urine cadmium concentrations decreased markedly between 1988 and 2008. Declining smoking rates and changes in exposure to tobacco smoke may have played an important role in the decline of urine cadmium concentrations, benefitting both smokers and non-smokers. Cadmium has been associated to several health outcomes in NHANES 1999-2008. Consequently, despite the observed decline, further reduction in cadmium exposure is needed.

Steps should be taken to mitigate the risk of exposure to lead-contaminated soil and dust. Further research is needed to quantify the possible contribution of reconstruction activities to environmental lead levels.

However in contrast to whites, childhood height and weight, but not low socioeconomic status indicators, were associated with early onset fibroids in blacks. The general consistency of early-life findings for blacks and whites supports a possible role of early-life factors in fibroid development.

For the markers of tubular effects, a tendency towards improvement, but not complete recovery, was observed. Data from repeated observations suggests that β2-microglobulin may be more informative than NAG as an indicator for the individual’s future tubular function.

The built environment may influence exposures to these risk factors in different ways and thus differentially impact the health of urban populations. Objective: To investigate the built environment’s association with air pollution and physical inactivity, and estimate attributable health risks. Methods: We used a regional travel survey to estimate within-urban variability in physical inactivity and home-based air pollution exposure (PM2.5, NOx, O3) for 30,007 individuals in southern California. We then estimated the resulting risk for ischemic heart disease (IHD) using literature-derived dose-response values for the general public and for a sensitive subpopulation. Usi...

Strong enforcement, support for community based lead programs, and ongoing intergovernmental coordination will be necessary to maintain lead safe housing in Rochester. Lessons learned from the Rochester experience may inform future local lead poisoning prevention policies in other communities.

These findings shed light into the oxidantdependent events that underlie cellular responses to environmental electrophiles.

The study adds to mounting evidence that low-level exposure to PCBs is inversely associated with fetal growth.

Methods: MMTV-erbB2 mice were exposed to 0, 2.5, 25, 250, or 2500 µg BPA/L drinking water from 56 until 112 (mechanism of action) or 252 (tumorigenesis) days of age. Cellular and molecular mechanisms of BPA action in the mammary gland were investigated via immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Results: Only low doses of BPA significantly decreased tumor latency and increased tumor multiplicity, tumor burden, and the incidence of metastasis. All BPA doses significantly increased the cell proliferation index, but only the higher doses also increased the apo...
