  1. 16. Developmental immunotoxicity of early-life arsenic exposure

    Författare :Sultan Ahmed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Arsenic exposure, mainly via drinking water and certain food, is a major public health concern because of its association with various types of cancers and other non-cancer adverse health effects. Worldwide, more than one hundred million people are exposed to elevated levels of arsenic on a regular basis. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Health effects of environmental lead exposure in children

    Författare :Katarina Osman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :children; environmental exposure; biological monitoring; lead; cadmium; mercury; selenium; zinc; copper; magnesium; glutathione peroxidase; selenoprotein P; serum ferritin; serum cystatin C; GFR; protein HC; hearing; kidney;

    Sammanfattning : Children comprise the most susceptible part of the population with regard to lead exposure. The lowest level of lead exposure considered to cause adverse health effects has fallen with time, as the research techniques have improved. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Population Exposure to Organic Contaminants and Human Biomonitoring

    Författare :Erika Norén; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : We are surrounded by various chemicals, both naturally occurring and synthetically produced. Some, but not all, chemicals can be hazardous for human health following exposure, especially for vulnerable population groups including children, adolescents, and pregnant women. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Maternal metabolic health and neurodevelopmental conditions in offspring

    Författare :Shuyun Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background Observational studies published in the last decade have indicated relationships between maternal “overnutrition” states and offspring neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs), such as autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and intellectual disability (ID). “Maternal overnutrition” states have been characterized by a series of metabolic conditions before pregnancy (i.

  7. 20. Metabolism of inorganic arsenic and biomarkers of exposure

    Författare :Gabriela Concha; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Arsenic; metabolism; methylation; biomarker; infant; children; women; drinking water; breast milk;

    Sammanfattning : Humans as well as most mammals metabolize inorganic arsenic (Inorg As), a recognized human carcinogen, by methylation. The end-metabolites methylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) are less toxic and more readily excreted in the urine than Inorg As. LÄS MER
