Nondietary ingestion of pesticides by children in an agricultural community on the US/Mexico border: Preliminary results

TL;DR: It is suggested that surface loadings of pesticides, on hands, are more highly correlated with urinary bioassays and, therefore, may be more useful for estimation of exposure in epidemiologic studies than levels of pesticides in housedust.
Journal ArticleDOI

Children's mouthing and food-handling behavior in an agricultural community on the US/Mexico border.

TL;DR: The highest combined (hand and object) mouthing rates were observed among infants, suggesting that this age group has the greatest potential for exposure to environmental toxins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contributions of children's activities to pesticide hand loadings following residential pesticide application.

TL;DR: Pesticide hand loadings obtained following the videotaping sessions were associated with pesticide levels on surfaces and toys, but not with air levels, and were also associated with the number of locations where the children exhibited object-to-mouth behavior and with children's use of house space during the videotaped sessions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute exposure to elevated PM2.5 generated by traffic and cardiopulmonary health effects in healthy older adults.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of vehicular emissions and adverse cardiopulmonary health effects on older adults, using ambulatory electrocardiograms (ECG) and heart rate variability (HRV).
