Air pollution exposure at the residence and risk of childhood cancers in Denmark:A nationwide register-based case-control study

2020

Background: The etiology of childhood cancer is poorly understood. The role of environmental factors, including air pollution (AP) exposure, has been addressed previously, but results so far have been inconclusive. In this study, we investigate the association between long-term AP exposures in relation to childhood cancer subtypes in Denmark (1981–2013). Methods: We conducted a nationwide register-based case-control study. We identified 7745 incident cases of childhood cancers (<20 years) in the Danish Cancer Registry. Four randomly selected (cancer-free) controls were matched to each case according to sex and date of birth. We modelled concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), fine part…

Increased thyroid cancer incidence in a basaltic volcanic area is associated with non-anthropogenic pollution and biocontamination

2016

The increased thyroid cancer incidence in volcanic areas suggests an environmental effect of volcanic-originated carcinogens. To address this problem, we evaluated environmental pollution and biocontamination in a volcanic area of Sicily with increased thyroid cancer incidence. Thyroid cancer epidemiology was obtained from the Sicilian Regional Registry for Thyroid Cancer. Twenty-seven trace elements were measured by quadrupole mass spectrometry in the drinking water and lichens (to characterize environmental pollution) and in the urine of residents (to identify biocontamination) in the Mt. Etna volcanic area and in adjacent control areas. Thyroid cancer incidence was 18.5 and 9.6/10(5) inh…

The Bisphenol A Experience: A Primer for the Analysis of Environmental Effects on Mammalian Reproduction1

2009

It is increasingly evident that environmental factors are a veritable Pandora's box from which new concerns and complications continue to emerge. Although previously considered the domain of toxicologists, it is now clear that an understanding of the effects of the environment on reproduction requires a far broader range of expertise and that, at least for endocrine-disrupting chemicals, many of the tenets of classical toxicology need to be revisited. Indeed, because of the wide range of reproductive effects induced by these chemicals, interest among reproductive biologists has grown rapidly: in 2000, the program for the annual Society for the Study of Reproduction meeting included a single…

Association between odour pollution from industrial sources and human health: a systematic review and meta-analysis

2021

Objetivo: Se realizó una revisión sistemática para sintetizar toda la evidencia disponible, de estudios epidemiológicos, sobre la asociación entre la exposición residencial u ocupacional a corto y largo plazo a la contaminación por mal olor industrial y el estado de salud de la población expuesta. Métodos: Las búsquedas bibliográficas se realizaron en OvidMedline, EMBASE y Scopus en octubre de 2018. Para la exposición, se incluyeron estudios si capturaban la exposición a un olor ambiental de origen industrial en el ámbito residencial u ocupacional. Se consideraron los resultados para los cuales había una plausibilidad biológica, como fueron sibilancias y asma, tos, cefalea, náuseas y vómito…

Risk analysis using fuzzy set theory of accidental exposure of medical staff during brachytherapy procedures

2010

Using fuzzy set theory, this paper presents results from risk analyses that explore potential exposure of medical operators working in a high dose rate brachytherapy irradiation plant. In these analyses, the HEART methodology, a first generation method for human reliability analysis, has been employed to evaluate the probability of human error. This technique has been modified on the basis of fuzzy set concepts to take into account, more directly, the uncertainties of the so-called error-promoting factors on which the method is based. Moreover, with regard to some identified accident scenarios, fuzzy potential dose was also evaluated to estimate the relevant risk. The results also provide s…

Prevalencias de exposición a riesgos laborales en trabajadoras embarazadas (proyecto INMA-Valencia)

2009

Objetivo: Describir las prevalencias de exposición declarada a riesgos laborales en mujeres embarazas y analizar su relación con características sociodemográficas y laborales a partir de la información recogida en la cohorte INMA-Valencia. Métodos: La cohorte INMA-Valencia se inicia en 2004 con 855 mujeres embarazadas residentes en la provincia de Valencia. En la semana 32 de gestación se recogió información, mediante entrevista personal con cuestionario estructurado, sobre características sociodemográficas (edad, nivel de estudios, país de nacimiento), condiciones de empleo (actividad, ocupación, tipo de contrato, tipo de jornada) y exposición laboral autorreferida a carga física y riesgos…
