Journal ArticleDOI

Risks and benefits of green spaces for children: a cross-sectional study of associations with sedentary behavior, obesity, asthma, and allergy

TL;DR: An interquartile range increase in residential surrounding greenness was associated with 11–19% lower relative prevalence of overweight/obesity and excessive screen time, but was not associated with current asthma and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of Disinfection By-products and Associated Health Effects.

TL;DR: Future research should develop methods to evaluate the effects of the DBP mixture and the interaction with personal characteristics, clarify the association between swimming pools and respiratory health, evaluate the occurrence of DBPs in low- and middle-income countries, and evaluate outcomes suggested by animal studies that have not been considered in epidemiological investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotoxic effects in swimmers exposed to disinfection by-products in indoor swimming pools.

TL;DR: The findings support potential genotoxic effects of exposure to DBPs from swimming pools and suggest the positive health effects gained by swimming could be increased by reducing the potential health risks of pool water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short-term changes in respiratory biomarkers after swimming in a chlorinated pool.

TL;DR: A slight increase in serum CC16, a marker of lung epithelium permeability, is detected in healthy adults after they swam in an indoor chlorinated pool, without involving inflammatory mechanisms.
