On- and off-road mobile sources are the dominant contributors to urban anthropogenic volatile organic compound (AVOC) emissions. Analyses of gasoline samples from California for both summer winter indicate significant differences in liquid fuel vapor chemical composition due intentional seasonal adjustments. Ambient concentrations 55 VOCs were measured via situ gas chromatography 2005 Study Organic Aerosols at Riverside (SOAR) during fall. A mass balance analysis was used differentiate...
Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a postnatal drug withdrawal that can occur after intrauterine opioid exposure. Adverse neurobehavioral outcomes have been documented in infants with NAS; however, educational not thoroughly examined. We analyzed Tennessee data to understand the need for special services among who are born NAS.By using Medicaid and birth certificate data, were between 2008 2011 history of NAS matched (1:3) during same period without NAS. Groups on basis sex, race and/or...
Abstract Background Childhood cancer survivors may have premature symptomatic cardiovascular and non‐cardiovascular diseases that contribute to reduced capacity for physical activity. Studies of exercise identification risk factors in are limited. Procedure We assessed maximal myocardial oxygen consumption ( ${\rm V}_{{\rm O}_{2} \,{\rm max}} $ , a measure capacity) at least 4 years after diagnosis sibling controls. evaluated associations between age, sex, treatments, cardiac structure...
From 2004 to 2014, the incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in United States increased 433%, from 1.5 8.0 per 1,000 hospital births. The latest national data 2014 indicate that one baby was born with signs NAS every 15 minutes (1). is a drug withdrawal most commonly occurs among infants after utero exposure opioids, although other substances have also been associated NAS. Prenatal opioid has poor fetal growth, preterm birth, stillbirth, and possible specific birth defects (2-5)....
Lifetimes of the lowest excited singlet (S1) electronic states various derivatives pyrimidine nucleobase cytosine (Cyt) were measured by femtosecond transient absorption technique. The bases in room-temperature aqueous solution at 265 nm using approximately 200 fs pump pulses from a titanium-sapphire laser system. decay excited-state (ESA) visible probe wavelengths was used to determine S1 lifetimes variety modified Cyt compounds different pH values global fitting.

Background Research on health effects and potential harms of electronic cigarette (EC) use during pregnancy is limited. We sought to determine the risks EC pregnancy-related adverse birth outcomes assess whether quitting ECs reduces risks. Methods Women with singleton live births who participated in US Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) survey study 2016–2020 were classified into four mutually exclusive groups, by their combustible cigarettes (CCs) pregnancy: non-use, only...
Health agencies have called for research evaluating e-cigarette (EC) use in supporting prenatal smoking cessation. This study aimed to describe (1) the characteristics of smokers who begin using electronic cigarettes (ECs) during pregnancy, (2) how frequently reduce or eliminate pre- and post-natal combustible cigarette (CC) use, (3) risk neonatal health complications among initiate ECs pregnancy. Pregnant women CCs exclusively prepregnancy, participated a U.S. surveillance study, were...
Kinetics studies of the OH-initiated oxidation 2-butyne, propyne, and acetylene were conducted at 100 Torr 298 K using turbulent flow chemical ionization mass spectrometry. The major products identified, with aid supporting electronic structure thermodynamics calculations, a general mechanism for alkynes is proposed. product branching ratio product-forming rate constants 2-butyne-OH adduct + O(2) reaction experimentally determined as well. atmospheric implications kinetics results are discussed.

The overall rate constants of the NO reaction with hydroxyalkylperoxy radicals derived from OH-initiated oxidation several atmospherically abundant alkenes—ethene, propene, 1-butene, 2-butene, 2-methyl 1,3-butadiene, and isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene)—were determined using turbulent flow technique pseudo first-order kinetic conditions high pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry for direct detection radical reactants. individual 100 Torr, 298 K each alkene system were found to be...
The temperature dependence of the overall rate constant for C3H7O2 + NO reaction and minor branching channel resulting in production i-C3H7ONO2 have been measured using turbulent flow technique with high-pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry detection reactants products. was investigated between 298 213 K at 100 Torr pressure, data were fit by following Arrhenius expression (with 2 standard deviation error limits indicated): × 10-12 exp[(268 ± 56)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1. This agrees...
Ambient concentrations of eight predominantly anthropogenic halocarbons were measured via in situ gas chromatography California's South Coast air basin for both summer and fall during the 2005 Study Organic Aerosols at Riverside (SOAR). Ongoing emissions banned methylchloroform CFC-11 observed basin, whereas CFC-113 have effectively ceased. We estimate methylchloroform, CFC-11, HCFC-141b, chloroform, tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), dichloromethane based on regressions...

Under such circumstances I say, let remain Chicago.

Newborn metabolite perturbations may identify potential biomarkers or mechanisms underlying adverse, smoking-related childhood health outcomes. We assessed associations between third-trimester smoking and newborn concentrations using the Tennessee Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS, 2009-2019) as discovery cohort INSPIRE (2012-2014) replication cohort. Children were linked to screening metabolic data (33 metabolites). Third-trimester was ascertained from birth certificates...
