TL;DR: Blood mercury was not significantly raised in women living or working close to the WTC site in the weeks after 11 September 2001, and higher cord blood mercury was associated with reductions in developmental scores at 36 and 48 months, after adjusting for the positive effects of fish/seafood consumption during pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Environmental Tobacco Smoke, and Respiratory Symptoms in an Inner-city Birth Cohort*
Rachel L. Miller,Robin Garfinkel,Megan K. Horton,David Camann,Frederica P. Perera,Robin M. Whyatt,Patrick L. Kinney +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that early exposure to airborne PAH and ETS can lead to increased respiratory symptoms and probable asthma by age 12 to 24 months, and interventions to lower the risk of respiratory disease in young children living in the inner city may need to address the importance of multiple environmental exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and risk of intrauterine growth restriction.
TL;DR: Prenatal PAH exposure is likely to contribute to the occurrence of SGA as well as preterm births among African Americans and Dominicans, and these observations have potential implications for environmental health and energy policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of prenatal exposure to coal-burning pollutants on children's development in China.
Deliang Tang,Tin-yu Li,Jason J. Liu,Zhijun Zhou,Tao Yuan,Yu Hui Chen,Virginia Rauh,Jiang Xie,Frederica P. Perera +8 more
TL;DR: Exposure to pollutants from the power plant adversely affected the development of children living in Tongliang; these findings have implications for environmental health policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental effects of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and material hardship among inner-city children
Virginia Rauh,Robin M. Whyatt,Robin Garfinkel,Howard Andrews,Lori Hoepner,Andria Reyes,Diurka Diaz,David Camann,Frederica P. Perera +8 more
TL;DR: The study concluded that prenatal exposure to ETS in the home has a negative impact on 2-year cognitive development, and this effect is exacerbated under conditions of material hardship in this urban minority sample.
