Abstract Abandoned metal mines and refineries are considered environmentally vulnerable areas owing to high levels of exposure heavy metals. This study examined the association between renal function indicators. We studied a total 298 participants, which 74 68 resided in low- high-exposure abandoned mine areas, respectively, with 121 refinery area 35 control area. Blood urine samples were collected from participants analyze blood lead, cadmium, creatinine urinary NAG, β2-MG. The estimated...
This study compares biomarker levels among environmentally vulnerable residents in Korea, the general Korean population, and Asians United States. We selected 953 exposed 204 controls from Forensic Research via Omics Markers Environmental Health Vulnerable Areas (FROM) (2021-2023), 4,239 participants fourth National Survey (2018-2020), 996 US Nutrition Examination (2017-March 2020). The analyzed biomarkers included blood urinary metals, metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),...
This rapid systematic review aims to summarize studies of human exposure microplastics (MPs) and their health effects. For the literature review, we separately searched for articles original published from 2000 2019 in PubMed, NDSL, KMBASE, Cochrane databases. A total 276 475 were independently evaluated eligibility each article was assessed by two researchers. Finally, 8 13 selected analysis. There no standardized methodology determining MPs. Therefore, size, shape, color, chemical...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is known as an obesogenic endocrine disruptor. S (BPS) and F (BPF) are substitutes that have recently replaced BPA. To investigate the relationships of urinary bisphenols (BPA, BPS BPF) with adiposity measurements (obesity, BMI z-score, fat mass), serum adipokine levels (adiponectin leptin), adiponectin/leptin ratio (A/L ratio) in 6- 8-year-old children. total 561 children who participated Environmental Development Children cohort (482 516 visited at age 6 8, respectively)...
This article was intended to introduce the Korean Surveillance System for Childhood Asthma (KSSCA) and also determine factors that increase risk development of asthma allergic diseases in preschool children Korea based on study results.The KSSCA pilot a web-based, cross-sectional survey sampled 1002 parents with biological child aged 2-6 years visited website participated survey. consisted questionnaire designed measure history prevalence diseases, characteristics dwelling, lifestyle,...
Heavy metals are commonly released into the environment through industrial processes such as mining and refining. The rapid industrialization that occurred in South Korea during 1960s 1970s contributed significantly to economy of country; however, associated refining led considerable environmental pollution, although is now decline Korea, detrimental effects on residents inhabiting surrounding areas remain. bioaccumulation toxic heavy leads metabolic alterations human homeostasis, with...
Cold carcass weight (CW) and longissimus muscle area (EMA) are the major quantitative traits in beef cattle. In this study, we found several polymorphisms of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) gene examined association with (CW EMA) Korean native cattle (Hanwoo).By direct DNA sequencing 24 unrelated cattle, identified 12 single nucleotide within 9 kb full region, including 1.5 promoter region. Among them, six polymorphic sites were selected for genotyping our (n = 428) five marker...
The data used in this study were collected from 5 different strains of KNC raised at Daejeon branch National Livestock Research Institute, Rural Development Administration, Rep. Korea.The five are RB, YB, GB, B and W. From these strains, the performance-tested records have been for 7 generations 1995 to 2001.The number animals by trait strain shown Table 2.The analyzed traits age first egg, body weight 270 days, egg eggs laid days.
Since May 20, 2015, when the first case of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in South Korea was confirmed, cluster has grown to become largest observed following Saudi Arabia within span one month. Akin what East, confirmed cases were infected through nosocomial transmission where is largely limited patients, healthcare workers, and visitors patients facilities with cases. A major difference from outbreaks Arabian Peninsula been large number tertiary Korea, which had reached forty by...
Hyperuricemia has a suspected relationship with hypertension, metabolic syndrome, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. Endocrine disruptors may affect uric acid metabolism; however, few epidemiologic studies have been performed in children regarding newly developed bisphenol A (BPA) substitutes. We evaluated the associations between BPA, S (BPS), F (BPF) exposure serum concentrations 6-year-old Korean children.From Environment Development of Children cohort study, six-year-old (N =...
This research group (FROM) aimed to develop biomarkers for exposure environmental hazards and diseases, assess apply verify these in environmentally vulnerable areas. Environmentally areas—including refineries, abandoned metal mines, coal-fired power plants, waste incinerators, cement factories, areas with high particulate matter—along control areas, were selected epidemiological investigations. A total of 1,157 adults, who had resided over 10 years, recruited between June 2021 September...
In this study, the associations between mercury (Hg) exposure and cholesterol profiles were analyzed, increased Hg levels according to amount of fish consumption evaluated. Data on blood Hg, frequency consumption, total (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-density (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG) in 3951 adults obtained from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2010-2011 database. To compare distribution for each log-transformed indicator, Student's t-test analysis variance...
Objectives This study analyzed the associations between mobile phone call frequency and duration with non-specific symptoms. Methods was conducted a population group including 532 non-patient adults established by Korean Genome Epidemiology Study. The pattern of using investigated through face-to-face interview. Structured methods applied to quantitatively assess health effects are Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), Psychosocial Well-being Index-Short Form, Beck Depression Inventory,...
In this study, the difference between risk perception of electromagnetic waves from cellular phones and other factors such as environment food was analyzed. The cause in psychological social that affect group with high also A questionnaire survey on carried out 1001 subjects (men women) over age 20. phones, women had higher than men. Logistic regression analysis, where low were used dependent variables, indicated 1.815 times statistically significantly men (95% CI: 1.340–2.457). Also,...

Objectives The project Seoul Atopy ∙ Asthma-friendly School investigated the current status of childhood asthma to enable formulation a preventative policy. We evaluated prevalence in and its trends related factors. Methods was conducted annually from 2011 2016 involved around 35 000 children aged 1-13 years. Based on International Study Asthma Allergies Childhood guidelines, survey parents. associations particulate matter (PM10) concentration, number days which daily air quality guidance...
Korean Hanwoo cattle have been subjected to intensive artificial selection over the past four decades improve meat production traits. Another three varieties very closely related reside in Korea (Jeju Black and Brindle) China (Yanbian). These breeds not part of a breeding scheme Here, we compare selected against these similar but presumed be unselected populations identify genomic regions that under recent pressure due program. Rsb statistics were used contrast genomes versus pooled sample...

Abstract This study aimed to develop an environmental risk score (ERS) of multiple pollutants (MP) causing kidney damage (KD) in Korean residents near abandoned metal mines or smelters and evaluate the association between ERS KD by a history occupational chemical exposure (OCE). Exposure MP, consisting nine metals, four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, was measured as urinary metabolites. The participants were recruited from Forensic Research via Omics Markers...
Timepix3 devices are hybrid pixel detectors developed within the Medipix3 collaboration at CERN providing a simultaneous measurement of energy (ToT) and time arrival (ToA) in each its 256$\times$256 pixels (pixel pitch: 55 µm). The timestamp resolution below 2 ns allows charge carrier drift times, so that particle trajectories can be reconstructed 3D on microscopic level ($z$-resolution: 30-60 trajectory reconstruction methodology elsewhere is validated against simulated data ground truth...
