International Journal of Cancer, Volume 152, Issue 5, Page 879-912, 1 March 2023., 2023 Abstract Knowledge of the role in cancer etiology of environmental exposures as pesticides is a prerequisite for primary prevention. We review 63 epidemiological studies on exposure to pesticides and cancer risk in humans published from 2017 to 2021, with emphasis on new findings, methodological approaches, and gaps in the existing literature.

Telomeres and anthropogenic disturbances in wildlife: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 23, Page 6018-6039, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Human‐driven environmental changes are affecting wildlife across the globe. These challenges do not influence species or populations to the same extent and therefore a comprehensive evaluation of organismal health is needed to determine their ultimate impact.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 1508-1519, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Fourteen legacy organochlorine (OC) contaminants and 12 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were measured in eggs of tawny owls (Strix alueco) in central Norway (1986–2019). We expected OCs to have reached stable equilibrium levels due to bans, and that recent phase‐out of some PFASs would have slowed the increase of these compounds.

Autism Research, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 957-970, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Prior work has suggested associations between prenatal exposure to several classes of pesticides and child autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We examined a previously developed pesticide residue burden score (PRBS) and intake of high pesticide residue foods in association with ASD‐related traits. Participants were drawn from the Early Autism Risk
