This article develops and assesses novel indicators of respiratory other morbidity mortality following London's lethal smog in the winter 1952. Public health insurance claims, hospital admission rates for cardiac disease, pneumonia cases, records, influenza reports, temperature, air pollutant concentrations are analyzed December-February 1952-1953 compared with those previous year or years. Mortality episode from December 1952 to February 1953 were 50-300% higher than year. Claims that only...
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs Programme identifies chemicals, drugs, mixtures, occupational exposures, lifestyles and personal habits, physical biological agents that cause cancer in humans has evaluated about 1000 since 1971. are written by ad hoc Working Groups (WGs) of international scientific experts over a period 12 months ending an eight-day meeting. WG evaluates all the publicly available information each substance and, through transparent rigorous...
The London smog of 1952 is one history's most important air pollution episodes in terms its impact on science, public perception pollution, and government regulation. association between health during the episode was evident as a strong rise levels immediately followed by sharp increases mortality morbidity. However, months after also elevated above normal levels. An initial report proposed hypothesis that influenza responsible for high these months. Estimates number deaths were generated...
The sex ratio of 1.06:1, the male to female births, has declined over past decades. Recent reports from a number industrialized countries indicate that proportion males born significantly decreased, while some reproductive tract disorders have increased.To examine evidence for declines in at birth and suspected causes this decline, determine whether altered can be considered sentinel health event.Birth records were analyzed national statistical agencies.Published analyses trends females...
These groups will evaluate the status of bio- logical markers for specific biological systems: reproductive and developmental effects, with an em- phasis on neurodevelopmental effects; pulmonary system exposure, susceptibilities; immunological changes as they relate to cancer, including childhood cancer; ecological toxicity, ecosystem exposure altered processes.As part this project, Subcommittee Reproductive Developmental Toxicology convened a sym- posium January 12-13, 1987, in Washington,...
Xenobiotic estrogens are external compounds with estrogenic activity that may thereby affect the risk of breast cancer. This paper describes a mechanism by which xeno-estrogens development Estradiol metabolism proceeds hydroxylation at one two mutually exclusive sites C-2 and C-16 alpha. The catechol pathway yields weakly 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1), inhibits cell proliferation. In contrast, alternative genotoxic 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone (16 alpha-OHE1), enhances growth, increases unscheduled...
The adoption of readily available measures to lower GHG emissions in Santiago, Mexico City, SA£o Paulo, and New York over the next two decades would also provide major public health benefits from associated reductions particulate matter ozone ambient concentrations. Improved technologies reduce fossil-fuel combustion could these copollutants by about 10%, thereby avoid some 64,000 premature deaths (including infant deaths), 65,000 chronic bronchitis cases, 37 million person-days restricted...
To investigate the potential local health benefits of adopting greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation policies, we develop scenarios GHG for México City, México; Santiago, Chile; São Paulo, Brazil; and New York, USA using air pollution impact factors appropriate to each city. We estimate that adoption readily available technologies lessen fossil fuel emissions over next two decades in these four cities alone will reduce particulate matter ozone avoid approximately 64,000 (95% confidence interval...
Hormesis (defined operationally as low-dose stimulation, high-dose inhibition) is often used to promote the notion that while high-level exposures toxic chemicals could be detrimental human health, low-level would beneficial. Some proponents claim hormesis an adaptive, generalizable phenomenon and argue default assumption for risk assessments should induce stimulatory (i.e., "beneficial") effects at low exposures. In many cases, nonmonotonic dose-response curves are called hormetic responses...
Recent findings of indoor exposure studies chlorpyrifos indicate that young children are at higher risks to the semivolatile pesticide than had been previously estimated [Gurunathan et al., Environ Health Perspect 106:9-16 (1998)]. The study showed after a single broadcast use by certified applicators in apartment rooms, continued accumulate on children's toys and hard surfaces 2 weeks spraying. Based this other research studies, levels from spraying for approximately 21-119 times above...
