Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescence in situ hybridization is necessary to detect an association between chromosome aberrations and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure in utero and reveals nonrandom chromosome involvement.
Kirsti A. Bocskay,Manuela Orjuela,Deliang Tang,Xinhua Liu,Dorothy Warburton,Frederica P. Perera +5 more
TL;DR: Bocskay et al. as discussed by the authors reported that prenatal exposure to airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was significantly associated with stable aberration frequencies in cord blood from a subset of 60 newborns from the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health Prospective Cohort Study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of prenatal exposure to fine particles and postnatal indoor air quality on the occurrence of respiratory symptoms in the first two years of life
Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Frederica P. Perera,Umberto Maugeri,John D. Spengler,Elzbieta Mroz,Virginia Rauh,Elzbieta Flak,Agnieszka Pac,Ryszard Jacek,Susan Edwards +9 more
TL;DR: Since that prenatal exposure to fine particles increases burden of respiratory symptoms among infants and young children the current PM2.5 health air quality guidelines may be too high to protect the sensitive subgroups of population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of wheezing associated with house-dust mite allergens and indoor air quality among three-year-old children. Kraków inner city study.
Wiesław Jeedrychowski,Umberto Maugeri,Marek Zembala,Mattew S Perzanowski,Barbara Hajto,Elzbieta Flak,Elzbieta Mroz,Ryszard Jacek,Agata Sowa,Frederica P. Perera +9 more
TL;DR: The data support the view that exposure to a higher level of HDM allergens increases the burden of respiratory diseases in the early childhood and the effect is independent of maternal atopy, ETS, and moulds in homes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in pregnancy and lead level in maternal blood at delivery.
Wieslaw Jedrychowski,Elzbieta Flak,Elzbieta Mroz,Virginia Rauh,Kathleen L. Caldwell,Robert L. Jones,Zbigniew Skolicki,Irena Kaim,Frederica P. Perera +8 more
TL;DR: The reason for higher levels of blood-lead in the ETS-exposed women may result from the fact that tobacco smoke contains lead, however, it is possible that inhaled tobacco smoke also increases the absorption of lead from particulate matter deposited in the bronchial tree.
