Workgroup report: Drinking-water nitrate and health--recent findings and research needs.
Mary H. Ward,Theo M. deKok,Patrick Levallois,Jean D. Brender,Gabriel Gulis,Bernard T. Nolan,James VanDerslice +6 more
TL;DR: The role of drinking-water nitrate exposure as a risk factor for specific cancers, reproductive outcomes, and other chronic health effects must be studied more thoroughly before changes to the regulatory level for nitrate in drinking water can be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drinking Water Nitrate and Human Health: An Updated Review
Mary H. Ward,Rena R. Jones,Jean D. Brender,Theo M. de Kok,Peter J. Weyer,Bernard T. Nolan,Cristina M. Villanueva,Simone G. J. van Breda +7 more
TL;DR: The strongest evidence for a relationship between drinking water nitrate ingestion and adverse health outcomes (besides methemoglobinemia) is for colorectal cancer, thyroid disease, and neural tube defects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residential Proximity to Environmental Hazards and Adverse Health Outcomes
TL;DR: A substantive review and critique of the literature regarding residential proximity to environmental hazards and adverse pregnancy outcomes, childhood cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, end-stage renal disease, and diabetes is conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disproportionate proximity to environmental health hazards: methods, models, and measurement.
TL;DR: How the assessment of disproportionate proximity and exposure has evolved from comparing the prevalence of minority or low-income residents in geographic entities hosting pollution sources and discrete buffer zones to more refined techniques that use continuous distances, pollutant fate-and-transport models, and estimates of health risk from toxic exposure is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary nitrites and nitrates, nitrosatable drugs, and neural tube defects.
Jean D. Brender,Janus M Olive,Marilyn Felkner,Lucina Suarez,Wendy Marckwardt,Katherine A. Hendricks +5 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that effects of nitrosatable drug exposure on risk for neural tube defects in offspring could depend on the amounts of dietary nitrite and total nitrite intake.
