TL;DR: Results from three molecular epidemiologic studies illustrate the usefulness of these biomarkers in elucidating low-dose–response relationships, correlations between biomarkers, and the range of variation in biomarkers between individuals exposed to similar concentrations of carcinogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study shows widespread BPA exposure in an inner-city minority population and BPA concentration variations were associated with socio-demographic characteristics and other xenobiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular and Neurodevelopmental Benefits to Children of Closure of a Coal Burning Power Plant in China
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the closure of a coal-burning plant resulted in the reduction of PAH-DNA adducts in newborns and increased mBDNF levels that in turn, were positively associated with neurocognitive development, providing further evidence of the direct benefits to children's health as a result of the coal plant shut down.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of prenatal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure and environmental tobacco smoke on child IQ in a Chinese cohort
TL;DR: Exposure of pregnant women to emissions of PAHs from the coal-burning plant, in combination with prenatal exposure to envrionmental tobacco smoke, may have adversely affected cognitive function of children at age 5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncovering new clues to cancer risk.
TL;DR: A growing discipline called molecular epidemiology is attempting to find early biological signposts for heightened risk of cancer, and this research should enhance prevention of the disease.
