Safety and security are two important features of urban drinking-water distribution systems (UDWDS), worldwide, that often compromised by a suite physical, hydraulic, chemical factors adversely impacting quality potable water reaching consumer taps. Growth scales biofilm conglomerates (SBC) coupled with sorption chemicals planktonic microorganisms SBC has been increasingly recognized as underestimated contaminant sources in aging pipe networks UDWDS. The main objective this study was to...
Despite the unequal burden of environmental exposures borne by racially minoritized communities, these groups are often underrepresented in public health research. Here, we examined racial/ethnic disparities exposure to metals among a multi-ethnic sample pregnant women. The included women enrolled PRogramming Intergenerational Stress Mechanisms (PRISM) pregnancy cohort (N = 382). Urinary metal concentrations (arsenic [As], barium [Ba], cadmium [Cd], cesium [Cs], chromium [Cr], lead [Pb],...
With the exception of polycarbonate (PC) baby bottles, little attention has been paid to bisphenol A (BPA) intake from packaged water consumption (PC dispensers), especially during summer weather conditions. We determined magnitude and variability urinary BPA concentrations in 35 healthy individuals largely relying upon PC satisfy their potable needs. used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry measure concentrations. questionnaire was administered July/August a spot urine sample...
Every year in the United States, more than 300,000 infants are admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU) where they exposed a chemical-intensive hospital environment during developmentally vulnerable period. The neurodevelopmental impact of environmental exposure phthalates NICU stay is unknown. As phthalate third trimester developmental window has been implicated neurobehavioral deficits term-born children that strikingly similar phenotype morbidity common among born premature, role...
Data on pediatric asthma morbidity and effective environmental interventions in U.S. agricultural settings are few. We evaluated the effectiveness of HEPA air cleaners among a cohort rural Latino children.
Elevated lead (Pb) concentrations in residential houseyards around house walls painted with Pb‐based pigments pose serious human health risks, especially to children. Vetiver grass ( Vetiveria zizanioides L.) has shown promise for use situ Pb phytoremediation efforts. However, little is known about the biochemical mechanisms responsible observed high tolerance by vetiver. We hypothesized that vetiver exposure induced synthesis of phytochelatins (PC n ) and formation Pb–PC complexes,...
Human exposures to bisphenol A (BPA) are widespread. The current study addresses uncertainties regarding human pharmacokinetics of BPA following dermal exposure.To examine the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion in humans administration.We dermally administered deuterated (d6-BPA) 10 subjects (6 men 4 women) at a dose 100 µg/kg over 12-hour period conducted blood urine analysis from beginning dosing through three- or six-day period. We present time-course serum concentrations...
Dried Matrix Spot (DMS) is a cost-effective and stable sampling technique used in population-based studies, clinical research, noninvasive chemical biomarker screening. DMS especially useful developing countries like India, where collaborative initiatives are required for its improved applications.
