Journal ArticleDOI
Toenail, blood, and urine as biomarkers of manganese exposure.
Wisanti Laohaudomchok,Xihong Lin,Robert F. Herrick,Shona C. Fang,Jennifer M. Cavallari,David C. Christiani,Marc G. Weisskopf +6 more
TL;DR: Toenails appeared to be a valid measure of cumulative manganese exposure 7 to 12 months earlier and was significantly correlated with cumulative exposure in 7 to 9, 10 to 12, and 7 to12 months before toenail clipping date, but not 1 to 6 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
PM2.5 metal exposures and nocturnal heart rate variability: a panel study of boilermaker construction workers
Jennifer M. Cavallari,Ellen A. Eisen,Shona C. Fang,Joel Schwartz,Russ Hauser,Robert F. Herrick,David C. Christiani +6 more
TL;DR: These results support the cardiotoxicity of PM2.5 metal exposures, specifically manganese, however the metal component alone did not account for the observed declines in night HRV, and results suggest the importance of other PM elemental components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traffic-related air pollution exposures and changes in heart rate variability in Mexico City: A panel study
Kyra Naumoff Shields,Jennifer M. Cavallari,Megan J. Olson Hunt,Mariana Lazo,Mario J. Molina,Luisa T. Molina,Fernando Holguin +6 more
TL;DR: An association between traffic-related PM exposures and acute changes in HRV in a middle-aged population when PM exposures were relatively low is revealed and heterogeneity in the effects of different pollutants is demonstrated, with declines inHRV – especially HF – with ozone and formaldehyde exposures, and increases in HRv with PM2.5 exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A panel study of occupational exposure to fine particulate matter and changes in DNA methylation over a single workday and years worked in boilermaker welders
Molly L. Kile,Shona C. Fang,Andrea A. Baccarelli,Letizia Tarantini,Jennifer M. Cavallari,David C. Christiani +5 more
TL;DR: Acute and chronic exposure to PM2.5 generated from welding activities was associated with a modest change in DNA methylation of the iNOS gene, and future studies are needed to confirm this association and determine if the observed small increase iniNOS methylation are associated with changes in NO production or any adverse health effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toenail Metal Concentration as a Biomarker of Occupational Welding Fume Exposure
Rachel Grashow,Jinming Zhang,Shona C. Fang,Marc G. Weisskopf,David C. Christiani,Jennifer M. Cavallari +5 more
TL;DR: In a population with variable exposure, toenails may serve as useful biomarkers for occupational metal fume exposures to Mn, Pb, and Cd during distinct periods over the year prior to sample collection.
