Groundwater Chemistry and Children's Blood Lead Levels: A County‐Wise Analysis in the United States

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Groundwater is a major source of drinking water in the United States (US). Groundwater chemistry can contribute to lead leaching from water supply pipes due to factors such as pH and mineral content that influence corrosion. Lead exposure disproportionately affects children from low‐income neighborhoods.

Fetal exposure to a mixture of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals and biomarkers of male fecundity: A population‐based cohort study

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 76-89, January 2026.
Abstract Background Fetal exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been associated with reduced male fecundity, but with few studies considering chemical mixtures. Objectives We assessed the association between fetal exposure to a mixture of EDCs and biomarkers of male fecundity in young adulthood.

Association between organophosphate esters exposure and the prevalence of hyperuricemia in US adults from NHANES 2011–2016

Scientific Reports
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) exposure has potentially harmful effects on human health. However, the evidence between OPEs and hyperuricemia is insufficient. We aimed to assess the association between OPEs metabolites and the prevalence of hyperuricemia.

Associations of Heavy Metal Mixtures With Liver Function in Middle‐Aged and Elderly Adults: A Comparative Analysis of Blood and Urinary Biomarkers

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Whether concurrent exposure to several heavy metals is related to liver function among generally healthy middle‐aged and older adults has rarely been examined. We therefore analyzed 2541 adults (≥ 40 years) from the 2017–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycle, in whom blood and urinary concentrations of multiple metals and
