Observational epidemiologic studies provide critical data for the evaluation of potential effects environmental, occupational and behavioural exposures on human health. Systematic reviews these play a key role in informing policy practice. should incorporate assessments risk bias results included studies.
Cancer hazard identification is critical to informing decisions on preventive actions. However, the influence of cancer assessments creation health-protective regulations poorly understood. Although prior studies have measured health and economic benefits regulatory actions in general, we are not aware efforts explicitly study policy United States.
BackgroundEnvironmental health and other researchers can benefit from automated or semi-automated summaries of data within published studies as summarizing study methods results is time resource intensive. Automated be designed to identify extract details interest pertaining the design, population, testing agent/intervention, outcome (etc.). Much reported across existing publications lack unified structure, standardization machine-readable formats may presented in complex tables which serve...
Background and Aim Wood smoke is a complex mixture of gases, chemicals, fine particles generated by wood-burning wildfires. We are conducting cancer hazard evaluation wood for possible listing in the U.S. Report on Carcinogens. The database epidemiology studies exposure to smoke, but not wildfire, adequate conduct an evaluation. As mechanistic evidence may inform overall evaluation, especially wildfires, we mapped published biomarkers key characteristic carcinogens (KCC), focusing here...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Cancer hazard identification is critical to inform decision-making on occupational exposures, but the influence of these evaluations occupationally protective regulatory policies poorly understood. Our study examined whether listing a substance as human carcinogen in Report Carcinogens (RoC) may prompt action, leading health and economic benefits. <h3>Methods</h3> We systematically searched U.S. Federal state databases for regulations mentioning RoC from 1995–2021. For...
Chemical exposures are an important environmental health concern. The general population can be exposed to chemicals in food and consumer products, cleaning supplies, industrial manufacturing activities, or agricultural applications on a regular basis. Conducting systematic reviews of these challenging due the sheer number as well lack available data many contexts. Only small percentage will have undergone toxicologic evaluation, human exposure characterization, epidemiologic...
Background: After an occupational or environmental carcinogen is identified as a human hazard, years often pass before policy decisions are enacted that will impact public health. Evaluating the informativeness of hazard assessments on science and regulatory policies critically important but rarely undertaken. Additionally, no clear approaches exist to measure influence cancer conclusions science-based policy. Using US Report Carcinogens (RoC) by National Toxicology Program, we aim assess...
Background & Aim: Ethylbenzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon widely used in consumer and industrial applications, including as styrene feedstock paints, glues, fuels. Given that ethylbenzene one of the most highly emitted hazardous air pollutants, it relevant to survey available literature understand potential adverse health effects. Here, we utilize a systematic evidence map (SEM) approach identify epidemiological studies exposure characterize aspects base may support human hazard...
