Military Environmental Exposures
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 2023ABSTRACT The passage of the PACT Act of 2022 expanded the services veterans receive through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), ensuring they now qualify for benefits if they've been exposed to certain toxins during their military service. This significant expansion of VA benefits also highlights the need for nurses and other health

Environmental exposure to thallium
Science of The Total Environment, 1988This paper reviews recent data and findings concerning the sources of thallium in the environment and its current environmental levels and exposures, particularly with respect to human exposure. Special emphasis is given to some recent cases of environmental thallium pollution that were recognized around several cement factories in the Federal Republic

Environmental lead exposure and the kidney
Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology, 1988Lead and its components remain widely distributed in the environment and in some workplaces. Lead serves no useful physiological function, yet is potentially toxic to several organ systems. For many years human health effects have been recognized after heavy lead exposure.

Mitochondrial Epigenetics and Environmental Exposure
Current Environmental Health Reports, 2016The rising toll of chronic and debilitating diseases brought about by the exposure to an ever expanding number of environmental pollutants and socio-economic factors is calling for action. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind the effects of environmental exposures can lead to the development of biomarkers that can support the public ...

Biomonitoring for Environmental Exposures to Arsenic
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, 2009Arsenic (As) is a widely occurring environmental contaminant. To assess human exposures to As, public health officials and researchers often conduct biomonitoring. Samples of urine, hair, nails, or blood are collected from potentially exposed people and are analyzed for As compounds and their metabolites. When analyzing for As exposure, it is useful to

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 Exposures in Reproductive Health
Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2019Our genetic makeup and environment interact. Evidence has emerged demonstrating preconception and prenatal exposure to toxic agents have a profound effect on reproductive health. We cannot change our genetics, but we can change our environment. Health providers can protect pregnancies from harmful exposures.

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.

The Epidemiology of Pediatric Environmental Exposures
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2007Currently, the only national databases that are available to aid in a search to assess the effect of environmental exposures on children's health are those provided by the Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Units and poison control centers. Both have limitations and are largely deficient in accurate, helpful numbers.
