Developmental Exposure to Environmental Toxicants
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2015Children interact with the physical environment differently than adults, and are uniquely susceptible to environmental toxicants. Routes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and target organ toxicities vary as children grow and develop. This article summarizes the sources of exposure and known adverse effects of toxicants that are ubiquitous in our

Environmental exposure assessment
Environmental exposure is usually assessed by evaluating the concentration of a specific chemical in the main environmental media (air, soil, water, sediment) and in biota as food source for other organisms (predators) by secondary poisoning. The study of exposure is complicated by the complexity of the many ecosystems to protect and the high number ofDi Guardo A., Terzaghi E.

Childhood Exposure to Environmental Lead
19741 to 5% of urban adults have blood lead values ≥ 40 μgPb/100 ml whole blood whereas approximately 25% of urban children have blood leads at this level. The metabolic exposure (μgPb/kg body weight) of children is over three times adult exposure for assumed normal absorption and ingestion of lead and twice the exposure of adults for inhaled lead.

Chronic Environmental Exposure
Abstract Chronic exposure to waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) is an important occupational safety issue for anesthesia practitioners and others working in anesthetizing locations and post-anesthesia recovery units. While the results of epidemiological studies investigating the impact of WAG exposure on perioperative workers are conflicting,openaire +1 more source
