Everyone is exposed to natural and manmade ionizing radiation that can originate from sources in the environment and in medical and occupational settings. There is notable variation, however, among individuals and across populations in the types of sources of radiation and in the frequency, level, and duration of exposure.

Insecticide Urinary Metabolites in Nonoccupationally Exposed Populations
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, 2005The wide use of insecticides in agricultural and residential settings has resulted in environmental contamination, leading to increased concern about exposure of the population and possible chronic effects on health. This review summarizes the studies that have measured urinary metabolites to assess exposure of nonoccupationally exposed population to ...

Cancer mortality in a population exposed to nephrite processing
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2016Although asbestos has been recognised as a strong carcinogen, many asbestos minerals exist in concrete masses, and the health risks of these materials remain inconclusive. Nephrite jade is a concrete mass of amphibole that consists of asbestiform and non-asbestiform particles.

Arsenic in the hair of a non-occupationally exposed population
Atmospheric Environment (1967), 1971Abstract Arsenic determination was carried out on the hair of one control and 7 exposed groups of 10-year-old boys from communities located in the vicinity of a power plant which burned a local coal of high arsenic content. The emission is approximately 1 ton of arsenic per day.

Urinary hydroxypyrene and estradiol in an occupationally exposed "outdoor" population. [PDF]
Annali di igiene : medicina preventiva e di comunita, 2014 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely present in the air pollution. The urinary hydroxypyrene (1-HOPu) is considered the main biological biomarker currently available to measure the exposure to PAH. It is supposed responsible of an increase of estradiol levels in males.

Biomonitoring of a population of Portuguese workers exposed to lead
Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2011Lead is a heavy metal that has been used for many centuries and it is still used for various industrial purposes thanks to its physical and chemical characteristics. Human exposure to lead can result in a wide range of biological effects depending upon the level and duration of exposure.

Epidemiological Studies of Styrene-Exposed Populations
Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 1994The potential human carcinogenicity of styrene has been investigated mainly by epidemiological studies of occupationally exposed populations. Several cohort studies have suggested that workers exposed to styrene in the chemical industry have increased mortality from lymphatic and hematopoietic cancer.

Asbestos-exposed populations: Prevention, care, and compensation
Preventive Medicine, 1984In Israel, the prevention and care of asbestos-associated diseases with latency periods of one to four decades (asbestosis, mesothelioma, increased frequency of cancer of the lung and other sites) are not satisfactory, and new national policies are required. Such policies have three major goals: (a) elimination or reduction of exposure to asbestos dust;

Health response by questionnaire in arsenic-exposed populations
Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 1992The health status of populations exposed to arsenic through drinking water was determined by a mailed questionnaire. Participants were selected from three communities located in Nevada with 1977 tap water arsenic levels of approximately 0.1 mg/l and one California community with 1977 levels around 0.39 mg/l. The questionnaire responses were obtained in

Cytogenetic studies on rural populations exposed to pesticides
Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology, 1987The authors have carried out cytological analysis of 72 h lymphocyte cultures from peripheral blood and internal examinations of 80 workers professionally exposed to a complex of pesticides and that of 24 control persons. There was a significant increase of chromosome aberrations in relation to the duration of exposure.
