   Sammanfattning : Background: The negative effects of air pollution on morbidity and mortality have been known since the mid 20th century. The two most well known examples are the Meuse Valley disaster in the 1930’ies and the London black fog in December 1952. LÄS MER

3. 17. Exposure to perfluorinated alkyl substances and health effects in pregnant women and their children

   Författare :Matilda Ebel; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; perfluorinated alkyl substances; epidemiology; prenatal exposure; maternal health; child health; register studies;

   Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are chemicals that have gained attention during the last years. There are about 10,000 different PFAS compounds, and due to their unique chemical characteristics, PFAS has been used in a variety of industrial applications and household products since the 1950s.

4. 18. Reproductive hazards in an industrial setting : an epidemiological assessment

   Författare :Marianne Wulff; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Occupational exposure; environmental exposure; copper smelter; epidemiology; adverse reproductive outcome;

   Sammanfattning : Background: As more women of childbearing age engage in the workforceand a lot of new chemicals are available, a growing interest of diagnosing andpreventing reproductive disorders due to occupational and environmentalexposure has occurred. The source location of this thesis is the Rönnskärcopper smelter which is situated in the north of Sweden, in the municipality of Skellefteå. LÄS MER

5. 19. Impact of epidemiologically identified mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals on metabolic programming

   Författare :Polina Lizunkova; Joëlle Rüegg; Elin Engdahl; Joachim Sturve; Carl-Gustaf Bornehag; Juliette Legler; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Endocrine disrupting chemicals; Mixtures; Metabolism; Developmental Toxicology; Epigenetics; Biologi med inriktning mot ekotoxikologi; Biology with specialization in Environmental Toxicology;

   Sammanfattning : We are ubiquitously exposed to a plethora of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), i.e. substances that alter the function(s) of the endocrine system. While ample evidence show individual EDC's influence on developmental processes resulting in adverse health outcomes, less is known about the effects of human-relevant EDC mixtures exposure. LÄS MER

7. 20. Adverse effects of exposure to air pollutants during fetal development and early life : with focus on pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery, and childhood asthma

   Författare :David Olsson; Bertil Forsberg; Beate Ritz; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Air pollution; pregnancy outcomes; asthma; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background Air pollution exposure has been shown to have adverse effects on several health outcomes, and numerous studies have reported associations with cardiovascular morbidity, respiratory disease, and mortality. Over the last decade, an increasing number of studies have investigated possible associations with pregnancy outcomes, including preterm delivery. LÄS MER
