Environmental Source of Arsenic Exposure [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2014 Arsenic is a ubiquitous, naturally occurring metalloid that may be a significant risk factor for cancer after exposure to contaminated drinking water, cigarettes, foods, industry, occupational environment, and air.

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

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.

Environmental Exposure and Leptospirosis, Peru [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Human infection by leptospires has highly variable clinical manifestations, which range from subclinical infection to fulminant disease. We conducted a population-based, cross-sectional seroepidemiologic study in Peru to determine potential relationships of environmental context to human exposure to Leptospira and disease associated with seroconversion.

Environmental Exposures and Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2016 Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects millions around the world. The Braak hypothesis proposes that in PD a pathologic agent may penetrate the nervous system via the olfactory bulb, gut, or both and spreads throughout the nervous system. The agent is unknown, but several environmental exposures have been associated with PD.

Environmental Exposures and Hearing Loss [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 Pollutants that contaminate the natural or built environment adversely affect the health of living organisms. Although exposure to many of them could be avoided or minimized by careful preventive measures, it is impossible to totally avoid exposure to all pollutants.
