From vision toward best practices: Evaluating in vitro transcriptomic points of departure for application in risk assessment using a uniform workflow

Frontiers in Toxicology, 2023
The growing number of chemicals in the current consumer and industrial markets presents a major challenge for regulatory programs faced with the need to assess the potential risks they pose to human and ecological health. The increasing demand for hazard

Human exposure pathways to organophosphate triesters — A biomonitoring study of mother–child pairs

Environment International, 2015
The worldwide ban of several formulations of brominated flame retardants has caused an increase in the production of organophosphorus flame retardants (PFRs) to meet the existing fire regulations for a wide range of household products. This biomonitoring

A generic approach to estimate airborne concentrations of substances released by indoor spray processes using a deterministic 2-box model

Frontiers in Public Health
Sprays are used both in workplace and consumer settings. Although spraying has advantages, such as uniform distribution of substances on surfaces in a highly efficient manner, it is often associated with a high inhalation burden.

Critical windows of exposure to air pollution and gestational diabetes: assessing effect modification by maternal pre-existing conditions and environmental factors

Environmental Health, 2023
Background Ambient air pollution has been associated with gestational diabetes (GD), but critical windows of exposure and whether maternal pre-existing conditions and other environmental factors modify the associations remains inconclusive.
