  1. 1. Exposure, telomere length, and cancer risk

    Författare :Huiqi Li; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; exposure; telomere; methylation; chromosomal aberration; cancer risk; rubber fumes; arsenic; welding fumes; diesel exhaust; particulate matter;

    Sammanfattning : Telomeres are tandem repeats of TTAGGG at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomeres play a key role in chromosome stability and regulation of the cellular lifespan. Telomeres are shortened during cell division, and probably, by not yet well characterised factors in the environment. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Exploring toxicity and fate of metal-based particles in the lung : from mechanistic screening to lung deposition modelling

    Författare :Sarah McCarrick; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : We are all exposed to small particles in the air that we breath and some of them will contain metals in a dose and form that may be harmful. In addition, the field of nanotechnology holds great promises, but an increased production of nanoparticles leads to a higher risk of exposure. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Occupational exposure to particles in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Karin Grahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Objective The working life is expanding with increased retirement ages as the population is aging, in Sweden but in also other parts of the world. However, workers with poor health might not cope with working in higher ages. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Fine and ultrafine particle exposure: Health effects and biomarkers

    Författare :Yiyi Xu; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :particulate matter; Occupational Exposure : adverse effects; mitochondrial dna; telomere length;

    Sammanfattning : Particle, especially fine and ultrafine particle exposure has been linked to lower airway infections, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease, stroke and cancer. The underlying mechanisms are under active investigation, and are still not fully understood. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Exposure to air pollution in the work and residential environment during pregnancy and adverse birth effects

    Författare :Filip Norlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Air pollution is an environmental health risk that causes millions of premature deaths every year around the world. Air pollution exposure has been associated with respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and an increased risk of lung cancer, and has also been associated with adverse birth effects. LÄS MER
