Journal ArticleDOI
Separate and joint effects of tranplacental and postnatal inhalatory exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Prospective birth cohort study on wheezing events
Wiesøaw A. Jedrychowski,Frederica P. Perera,Renata Majewska,David Camman,John D. Spengler,Elzbieta Mroz,Laura Stigter,Elzúbieta Flak,Ryszard Jacek +8 more
TL;DR: It appears that prenatal PAH exposure may precipitate and intensify early onset of wheezing symptoms in childhood, resulting from the postnatal exposure and suggest that success in reducing the incidence of respiratory diseases in children would depend on reducing both fetal and childhood exposure to air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Gene‐environment Interactions on Mental Development in African American, Dominican, and Caucasian Mothers and Newborns
Shuang Wang,Stephen J. Chanock,Deliang Tang,Zhigang Li,Susan Edwards,Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Frederica P. Perera +7 more
TL;DR: The effects of interactions between prenatal PAH exposure and 21 polymorphisms or haplotypes in these genes on MDI at 12, 24, and 36 months among 547 newborns and 806 mothers from three different ethnic groups are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of the Effect of Prenatal PAH Exposure on PAH-DNA Adducts in Cord Blood by Plasma Antioxidants
Elizabeth A. Kelvin,Susan Edwards,Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Rosemary L. Schleicher,David Camann,Deliang Tang,Frederica P. Perera +6 more
TL;DR: A protective effect of micronutrients on the DNA damage and potential cancer risk associated with prenatal PAH exposure is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vinyl flooring in the home is associated with children’s airborne butylbenzyl phthalate and urinary metabolite concentrations
Allan C. Just,Rachel L. Miller,Matthew S. Perzanowski,Andrew Rundle,Qixuan Chen,Kyung Hwa Jung,Lori Hoepner,David Camann,Antonia M. Calafat,Frederica P. Perera,Robin M. Whyatt +10 more
TL;DR: Vinyl flooring in the home may be an important source of children’s exposure to BBzP via indoor air, and indoor air DEHP was not associated with flooring type nor with its urinary metabolite concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure, antioxidant levels and behavioral development of children ages 6-9.
Jeanine M. Genkinger,Jeanine M. Genkinger,Laura Stigter,Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Tzu Jung Huang,Shuang Wang,Emily L. Roen,Renata Majewska,Agnieszka Kiełtyka,Elzbieta Mroz,Frederica P. Perera +10 more
TL;DR: Lower alpha-tocopherol, gamma-toc Haitianrol and carotenoid levels may adversely affect healthy neurodevelopment, even after accounting for PAH exposure, and the importance of identifying modifiable factors for reducing harmful PAH effects is warranted.
