Tobacco smoke exposure stimulates the expression of genes that are likely to be involved in the metabolism of its combustion products such as polycyclic aromatic…
Mangiferin (MGN), a C-glucosylxanthone was investigated for its ability to protect against methylmercury (MeHg) induced neurotoxicity by employing IMR-32 (human neuroblastoma) cell line. MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium…
This study investigated pollutant transport in a highway building environment by combining field measurement and numerical simulations. The Comprehensive Turbulent Aerosol Dynamics and Gas Chemistry…
This study investigated the characteristics of mass size distributions and metallic elements in the airborne particulate matter from an urban, residential area in Ulsan, Korea.…
Silicon dioxide nano-particles (n-SiO2) have recently encountered a wide variety of applications in medicine or engineering but their toxicology effects are poorly understood. In this…
The effect of 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) protein expression, cytotoxicity, and DNA damage in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells was studied to provide evidence…
Halogenated contaminants, particularly brominated flame retardants, disrupt circulating levels of thyroid hormones (THs) and potentially affecting growth and development. Disruption may be mediated by impacts…
Incomplete combustion produces a pollutant mixture that includes polycyclic aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). Previous work by the Columbia centre for Children’s Environmental Health (CCCEH) and others…
Health risk (defined as possible or probable human health damage, illness, or death due to exposure to environmental risk factors) was derived for a geological…
The UK government has published plans to reduce the countrys agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the goal of global food security…
Preliminary results of inventories of exposure scenarios for nano-materials have indicated possible dermal exposure. Within the NANOSH project focused on occupational safety and health aspects…
When hydrogen fuelling stations were constructed first time in Korea in 2006, there were no studies for hydrogen fuelling stations. Hence the CNG (Compressed Natural…
Carbon black, a particulate form of pure elemental carbon, is an industrial chemical with the high potential of occupational exposure. Although the relationship between exposure…
Two hundred and twenty-nine patients with arsenism in the endemic area of Jiaole village Xingren county Guizhou province were recruited for this study. One hundred…
Occupational exposure of granite workers is well known to cause lung impairment and silicosis. Toxicology profiles of different size particles of granite dust, however, are…
Toluene, benzene and styrene are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) widely distributed in the environment. Tobacco smoke, traffic exposure and solvents used for paints, rubber and…
Recent studies show that PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) air concentrated remains surprisingly high in parts of Africa and Asia. These are regions where PCBs were never…
Trans-fatty acids (TFAs) enter the diet through industrial processes and can cause adverse human health effects. The present study was aimed to examine the effects…
