Background: Residential proximity to agricultural pesticide applications has been used as a surrogate for exposure in epidemiologic studies, although little is known about the relationship with levels of pesticides homes.Objective: We identified determinants concentrations dust.Methods: collected samples carpet dust and mapped crops within 1,250 m 89 residences California. measured seven extensively agriculture (carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, chlorthal-dimethyl, diazinon, iprodione, phosmet,...
Geocoding is often used in epidemiologic studies to map residences with geographic information systems (GIS). The accuracy of the method usually not determined.We collected global positioning system (GPS) measurements at homes a case-control study non-Hodgkin lymphoma Iowa. We geocoded addresses by 2 methods: (1) in-house, using ArcView 3.2 software and U.S. Census Bureau TIGER 2000 street database; (2) automated geocoding commercial firm. calculated distance between GPS location (positional...
Abstract Background Residence near municipal solid waste incinerators, a major historical source of dioxin emissions, has been associated with increased risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in European studies. The aim our study was to evaluate residence industrial combustion facilities and estimates emissions relation NHL the United States. Methods We conducted population-based case–control (1998–2000) four National Cancer Institute-Surveillance Epidemiology End Results centers (Detroit, Iowa,...
Ingestion of inorganic arsenic in drinking water is recognized as a cause bladder cancer when levels are relatively high (≥ 150 µg/L). The epidemiologic evidence less clear at the low-to-moderate concentrations typically observed United States. Accurate retrospective exposure assessment over long time period major challenge conducting studies environmental factors and diseases with latency, such cancer.
The recent U.S. Geological Survey policy offering Landsat satellite data at no cost provides researchers new opportunities to explore relationships between environment and health. purpose of this study was examine the potential for using support pesticide exposure assessment in California.We collected a dense time series 24 5 7 images spanning year 2000 an agricultural region Fresno County. We intersected with California Department Water Resources (CDWR) land use map selected field samples...
ISEE-0796 Background and Objective: Epidemiologists at the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) conducted two large scale studies that include location of residential histories over participant lifetimes. We discuss degree mobility these participants its impact on conducting exposure assessment environmental contaminants. Methods: received addresses from 2,611 in a New England Health Environment Study (NEHES) concerning arsenic disinfection byproducts (DBP) water supply, 2,378 SEER-NHL...
ISEE-0509 Background and Objective: Occupational exposure to dioxins dioxin-like chemicals has been associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The objective was assess if environmental from living near industrial combustion sources is NHL. Methods: We conducted a population-based case-control study NHL (1998–2000). residential locations 792 cases 624 controls during the 20-year period before date diagnosis (similar for controls) were linked spatial database eight types...
Industrial pollution has been suspected as a cause of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), based on associations with chemical exposures in occupational studies. We conducted case-control study NHL four SEER regions the United States, which residential locations 864 cases and 684 controls during 10 years before recruitment were used to characterize proximity industrial facilities reporting releases Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). For each 15 types industry (by...
