The assumption of a threshold is false in risk assessments for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) when endogenous hormones being disrupted are already above any possible threshold: a policy failure by the US FDA
Abstract The US FDA continues to assure the public that if they are exposed to an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), there is a threshold daily exposure level below which everyone is safe throughout the lifespan (the Acceptable or Tolerable Daily Dose). This assurance is false when the endogenous…

Human biomonitoring in support of the Minamata Convention: a case of phasing out dental amalgam
Abstract This study analysed urinary mercury (U-Hg) concentrations in 1412 Slovenian children across four human biomonitoring campaigns conducted between 2007 and 2024. Median U-Hg levels declined from 0.76 ng mL−1 (0.72 µg g−1 creatinine) in the 2007 PHIME cohort to 0.22 ng mL−1 (0.21 µg g−1…

Metals in water used by artisanal and small-scale gold miners for gold-mercury amalgamation in Western Kenya
Abstract Background Workers in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) are exposed to metals and metalloids (referred to here as “metals”) while mixing milled ore and elemental mercury to produce a gold-mercury amalgam. Although concentrations of metals in surface waters near ASGM activities…

Cross-sectional association of arsenic exposure with thyroid function in Bangladeshi children aged 5 to 7 years
Abstract Background Arsenic is a pervasive environmental contaminant and a recognized global public health concern. Experimental evidence suggests that arsenic may disrupt endocrine signaling during critical developmental windows, yet epidemiologic data on its effects on thyroid function in early…

Associations of arsenic exposure and folate in maternal leukocyte DNA methylation: a case-control study of mothers with spina-bifida affected children
Abstract Background In Bangladesh, more than a quarter of drinking water tubewells are contaminated with arsenic above the national standard (50 µg/l), while nearly half exceed the World Health Organization guideline (10 µg/l). Among other negative health consequences, arsenic is a suspected…

Residential proximity to active and abandoned oil and gas development and risk of childhood Ewing sarcoma in California
Abstract Background Oil and gas development (OGD) has been linked to increased pediatric cancer risk, but the literature to date is focused on hematologic malignancies and active wells. The emergence of suspected clusters of cancers such as Ewing sarcoma in children living near OGD and widespread…

Temporal clustering of neuroblastic tumours in children and young adults from Scotland
Abstract Background Neuroblastic tumours (neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma) are the most common childhood solid tumours outside the central nervous system, with a median age of diagnosis of 2 years. Temporal clustering of neuroblastic tumours in northern England and Ontario, Canada has been…

Protective versus risky: the complex relationship between prenatal fluoride exposure and birth outcomes in a Chinese large-scale population study
Abstract Background Previous studies on fluoride in drinking water and birth outcomes have yielded inconsistent findings. Furthermore, the association between fluoride exposure and gestational age (the duration of pregnancy), along with offspring characteristics at birth, has not been thoroughly…

Associations between prenatal exposure to ambient air pollutants and preterm birth in the Atlanta African American maternal-child cohort
Abstract Background Substantial differences in preterm birth (PTB) persist across populations, with African Americans facing the highest rate. While air pollution contributes to PTB, its role in these uneven health burdens remains poorly understood. Studies of PTB subtypes might uncover racial…

Residential indoor air monitoring to assess long-term exposure to air pollution in susceptible populations for epidemiology: overview and early findings
Abstract While there has been accumulating evidence of the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and various health endpoints, most epidemiological studies relied on ambient air pollution which showed substantial deviation from indoor. This difference could lead to biased or…

Occupational heat exposure and chronic kidney disease risk under climate warming: a retrospective cohort study of petrochemical workers with mechanistic insights
Abstract Background The modifying role of climate warming in the association between occupational heat exposure and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the related biological mechanisms, remains incompletely understood among petrochemical workers. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of…

Sex and adrenal hormone alteration in Ecuadorian adolescents with home and school proximity to floriculture crop area
Abstract Background Pesticides frequently used in agriculture, including organophosphates, glyphosate, and 2,4-D, have endocrine disrupting potential. We previously found that residential proximity to floriculture crops can increase the potential for pesticide exposure of children and adolescents…

Air pollution and mortality in a University of Michigan amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cohort: a survival analysis
Abstract Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, fatal, neurodegenerative disease. With limited treatment options, identifying modifiable risk factors that impact ALS survival is an important goal. Air pollution may be one such risk factor, yet the research on this topic is…

Long-term association between phthalate exposure in pregnancy and midlife bone mineral density among women in Mexico City
Abstract Background Phthalates are widespread endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that may affect bone metabolism, though human studies remain limited. This study investigated the long-term associations between measures of phthalate exposure during pregnancy, a period of heightened bone activity…

Occupation and urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations in a national survey of adults in Canada
Abstract Background Phthalates are synthetic chemicals with widespread exposure linked to adverse health effects. Occupational determinants remain understudied despite the potential for substantially elevated workplace exposure levels. This study aimed to investigate the associations between…

Serum cotinine-assessed tobacco exposure, cadmium co-exposure, and childhood obesity: a cross-sectional study
Abstract Background The association between tobacco exposure and obesity remains controversial, with the potential modifying role of cadmium (Cd) unclear. Childhood population provide a critical window to assess low-dose tobacco effects. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum…

The potential role of dietary patterns in modifying the association between ambient PM2.5 exposure and mortality in elderly Hong Kong Chinese
Abstract Background The potential of dietary patterns to modify the associations between long-term ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure and all-cause, respiratory, and circulatory mortality remains unclear. Methods A total of 3,937 older adults (≥ 65 years) living in the community were…

Spatial variation of asthma rates in Los Angeles County by environmental and socioeconomic indicators
Abstract Background Asthma is a chronic lung disease affecting nearly 1.2 million people in Los Angeles (LA) County. Asthma can be triggered and worsened by environmental pollutants. Exposure to oil/gas well operations, environmental contamination, and other forms of environmental degradation have…

Lessons learned from longitudinal biomonitoring and birth cohort studies: informing the future of reproductive health research in Canada
Abstract Longitudinal biomonitoring studies during preconception, pregnancy and early childhood are highly valuable tools for assessing environmental chemical exposures during sensitive windows and their effects on health and development. For the past 15 years, the Maternal-Infant Research on…
