TL;DR: Maternal exposure to particulate pollution was associated with LBW at term across study populations and three site characteristics and aspects of exposure assessment methodology appeared to contribute to the variation in associations reported by centers.

TL;DR: Analysis of links between racial residential segregation and estimated ambient air toxics exposures and their associated cancer risks using modeled concentration estimates from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Air Toxics Assessment suggests that disparities associated with ambientAir toxics are affected by segregation and that these exposures may have health significance for populations across racial lines.

TL;DR: Using EpiMatrix, BlastiMer, and Patent-Blast, the list of putative Mtb epitopes to be tested in vitro was narrowed from 1600000 to 3000, a 99.8% reduction.

TL;DR: This study indicates that maternal exposure to ambient air pollution results in modestly lower infant birth weight, and suggests that precautionary efforts to reduce pollutants may be beneficial for infant health from a population perspective.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the distribution of heat risk-related land cover (HRRLC) characteristics across racial/ethnic groups and degrees of residential segregation and found that HRRLC conditions increased with increasing degrees of metropolitan area level segregation.
