Journal ArticleDOI
Significant interactions between maternal PAH exposure and single nucleotide polymorphisms in candidate genes on B[ a ]P-DNA adducts in a cohort of non-smoking Polish mothers and newborns.
Shoba Iyer,Ya Wang,Wei Xiong,Deliang Tang,Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Stephen J. Chanock,Shuang Wang,Laura Stigter,Elzbieta Mroz,Frederica P. Perera +9 more
TL;DR: Novel findings highlight differences in maternal and newborn genetic contributions to B[ a ]P-DNA adduct formation and have the potential to identify at-risk subpopulations who are susceptible to the carcinogenic potential of B[a ]P.
Journal ArticleDOI
New approaches in risk assessment for carcinogens.
TL;DR: Methods are needed to improve the ability of biomonitoring and epidemiological studies to identify potential carcinogenic hazards and to quantify human risk and to validate molecular markers of biologically effective dose of carcinogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prepregnancy obesity is associated with lower psychomotor development scores in boys at age 3 in a low-income, minority birth cohort.
Amy Nichols,Andrew Rundle,Pam Factor-Litvak,Beverly J. Insel,Lori Hoepner,Virginia Rauh,Frederica P. Perera,Elizabeth M. Widen +7 more
TL;DR: It was found that prepregnancy obesity was associated with lower PDI scores at 3 years in boys, but not girls, and the mechanisms underlying this sex-specific association remain unclear, but due to elevated obesity exposure in urban populations, further investigation is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulating effects of maternal fish consumption on the occurrence of respiratory symptoms in early infancy attributed to prenatal exposure to fine particles.
Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Elzbieta Flak,Elzbieta Mroz,Agnieszka Pac,Ryszard Jacek,Elzbieta Sochacka-Tatara,John D. Spengler,Virginia Rauh,Frederica P. Perera +8 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that fish consumption in pregnancy may mitigate the harmful effect of prenatal or perinatal exposure to components of PM2.5 resulting in an increased burden of respiratory infections among infants is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to air pollution is associated with childhood inhibitory control and adolescent academic achievement.

TL;DR: For instance, this article found that higher prenatal airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) exposure was associated with worse spelling skills (WJ-III Spelling, β−−0.16, 95%Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.30, −0.02, p = 0.03).
