Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to Environmental and Mainstream Tobacco Smoke and Risk of Spontaneous Abortion
TL;DR: The authors examined the risk of spontaneous abortion from environmental tobacco smoke exposure in a prospective study of over 5,000 women conducted in California during 1990-1991 and found that the risks associated with ETS exposure were increased among nonsmokers who had moderate alcohol or heavy caffeine consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residential exposure to traffic and spontaneous abortion.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of traffic exposure on adverse birth outcomes, such as low birth weight, and showed associations between air pollution or traffic exposure and adverse birth outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laura Fenster,Chris Quale,Kirsten Waller,Gayle C. Windham,Eric P. Elkin,Neal L. Benowitz,Shanna H. Swan +6 more
TL;DR: Caffeine intake was not strongly related to an increased risk for anovulation, short luteal phase, long follicular phase, short cycle length, long cycle, or measures of within-woman cycle variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brenda Eskenazi,Andrew J. Wyrobek,Laura Fenster,David F. Katz,Marianne Sadler,Jon Lee,Mark Hudes,David Rempel +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that occupational exposures to PCE can have subtle effects on sperm quality, and additional analyses are required to determine whether these effects are associated with changes in fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of reproductive disorders and birth defects in communities near hazardous chemical sites. III. Guidelines for field studies of male reproductive disorders.
Andrew J. Wyrobek,Steven M. Schrader,Sally D. Perreault,Laura Fenster,Gabor Huszar,David F. Katz,Ana Maria Osorio,Virginia Sublet,Donald P. Evenson +8 more
TL;DR: The components of the ideal field study are summarized and research needs for improving field studies of male effects and for understanding the mechanisms of male reproductive toxicity are identified.
