Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and IQ: Estimated benefit of pollution reduction
TL;DR: It is suggested that a modest reduction in ambient concentrations of PAH is associated with substantial economic benefits to children, and the gain in lifetime earnings due to IQ increase for a single year cohort was US$215 million.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatology and the Environment: Impact of Early Exposure to Airborne Environmental Toxicants on Infant and Child Neurodevelopment.
TL;DR: Evidence for the potentially harmful impact of fetal and early childhood exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, environmental tobacco smoke, and organophosphorus insecticides is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to passive smoking and duration of breastfeeding in nonsmoking women: Krakow inner city prospective cohort study
Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Frederica P. Perera,Elzbieta Mroz,Susan Edwards,Elzbieta Flak,Virginia Rauh,Agnieszka Pac,Dorota Budzyn-Mrozek,Agnieszka Musiał +8 more
TL;DR: The results obtained support the hypothesis that ETS may affect breastfeeding duration and support the avoidance of passive smoking as a necessary additional measure for breastfeeding promotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre-pregnancy dietary vitamin A intake may alleviate the adverse birth outcomes associated with prenatal pollutant exposure: epidemiologic cohort study in Poland.
Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Elisabeth Masters,Hyunok Choi,Elzbieta Sochacka,Elzbieta Flak,Elzbieta Mroz,Agnieszka Pac,Ryszard Jacek,Irena Kaim,Zbigniew Skolicki,John D. Spengler,Frederica P. Perera +11 more
TL;DR: Prepregnancy nutrition of mothers may modulate the harmful effects of prenatal exposures to pollutants on birth outcomes, and the relationship between dietary intake of vitamin A in healthy mothers before and around conception and adverse birth outcomes associated with environmental toxicant exposures is assessed.
Journal Article
The interaction between alcohol consumption and GSTM1 genotype on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adduct levels in breast tissue.
TL;DR: Results indicate the presence of a novel gene-lifestyle interaction that influences PAH-DNA adduct levels in breast tissue from cases but not controls, and an apparent difference in PAH metabolism in response to alcohol may be an important clue as to how alcohol influences breast cancer risk.
