Journal ArticleDOI
Depressed height gain of children associated with intrauterine exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and heavy metals: The cohort prospective study

TL;DR: Prenatal exposure to airborne PAH showed a significant negative association with height growth, which was significantly decreased by 1.1cm at PAH level above 34.7 ng/m(3), and the height gain deficit associated with prenatal mercury exposure was not seen at birth, but the height growth was significantly slower at later age.

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Concentration of non-DEHP metabolites was associated with anxious-shy behaviors among boys and decreased hyperactivity and impulsivity among girls on CPRS scores, and these findings lend further support to the adverse associations between prenatal phthalate exposure and childhood outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons impair function of β2-adrenergic receptors in airway epithelial and smooth muscle cells.
Phillip Factor,Alexander T. Akhmedov,Jacob D. McDonald,Anna Qu,Jie Wu,Hong Jiang,Trisha Dasgupta,Reynold A. Panettieri,Frederica P. Perera,Rachel L. Miller +9 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that environmentally relevant PAHs can impede β(2)AR-mediated airway relaxation is supported, and a new paradigm where air pollutants not only contribute to the pathogenesis of childhood asthma, but also diminish responsiveness to standard therapy is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability of total exposure to PM2.5 related to indoor and outdoor pollution sources: Krakow study in pregnant women
Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Frederica P. Perera,Agnieszka Pac,Ryszard Jacek,Robin M. Whyatt,John D. Spengler,Thomas S. Dumyahn,Elzbieta Sochacka-Tatara +7 more
TL;DR: The study is a part of an ongoing prospective cohort study on the relationship between the exposure to environmental factors during pregnancy and birth outcomes and health of newborns and the contribution of the background ambient PM(10) level was very strong determinant of the total personal exposure to PM(2.5).
