Donna Mergler,Guy Huel,Rosemarie M. Bowler,A Iregren,Belanger S,Mary Baldwin,Robert Tardif,Audrey Smargiassi,L Martin +8 more
TL;DR: Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis of variance revealed that the pairs differed on symptom reporting, emotional state, motor functions, cognitive flexibility, and olfactory perception threshold, which is consistent with current knowledge on brain Mn activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review Article: Vulnerability to Heat-related Mortality: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Meta-regression Analysis.
TL;DR: Strong evidence of heat-related vulnerability is found for the elderly ages >65 and >75 years and low SES groups (at the individual level) and studies are needed to clarify if other subgroups are also vulnerable to heat to inform public health programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation of daily warm season mortality as a function of micro-urban heat islands
TL;DR: It is suggested that measures aimed at reducing the temperature in micro-urban heat islands (eg, urban greening activities) may reduce the health impact of hot temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyroid hormones in pregnancy in relation to environmental exposure to organochlorine compounds and mercury.
TL;DR: A significant negative correlation between maternal total triiodothyronine levels and three non-coplanar congeners, three pesticides, and inorganic Hg in healthy women recruited during pregnancy is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular health, traffic-related air pollution and noise: are associations mutually confounded? A systematic review
TL;DR: Results from this review suggest that confounding of cardiovascular effects by noise or air pollutants is low, though with further improvements in exposure assessment, the situation may change.
