Osmium: An Appraisal of Environmental Exposure [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1974
In the U.S., the chief source of new osmium is copper refining, where this metal is produced as a byproduct. Probably less than 10% of the osmium in the original copper ore is recovered, and 1000-3000 oz troy of osmium is lost each year to the environment as the toxic, volatile tetroxide from copper smelters.

The genome as a record of environmental exposure [PDF]

Mutagenesis, 2015
Whole genome sequencing of human tumours has revealed distinct patterns of mutation that hint at the causative origins of cancer. Experimental investigations of the mutations and mutation spectra induced by environmental mutagens have traditionally focused on single genes.

Biomarkers of Environmental Benzene Exposure [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 1996
Environmental exposures to benzene result in increases in body burden that are reflected in various biomarkers of exposure, including benzene in exhaled breath, benzene in blood and urinary trans-trans-muconic acid and S-phenylmercapturic acid. A review of the literature indicates that these biomarkers can be used to distinguish populations with ...

Flood Exposure of Environmental Assets

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Abstract. Environmental assets provide important benefits to society and support the equilibrium of natural processes. They can be affected by floods; however, flood risk analyses usually neglect environmental areas due to (i) a lack of agreement on what should be considered an environmental asset, (ii) a poor understanding of environmental values, and
