Journal ArticleDOI
The 2005 World Health Organization reevaluation of human and Mammalian toxic equivalency factors for dioxins and dioxin-like compounds.

TL;DR: Concern was expressed about direct application of the TEF/total toxic equivalency (TEQ) approach to abiotic matrices, such as soil, sediment, etc., for direct application in human risk assessment as the present TEF scheme and TEQ methodology are primarily intended for estimating exposure and risks via oral ingestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health consequences of exposure to e-waste: a systematic review
Kristen Grant,Fiona C Goldizen,Peter D. Sly,Marie-Noel Brune,Maria Neira,Martin van den Berg,Rosana E. Norman,Rosana E. Norman +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically searched five electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsycNET, and CINAHL) for studies assessing the association between exposure to e-waste and outcomes related to mental health and neurodevelopment, physical health, education, and violence and criminal behaviour, from Jan 1, 1965 to Dec 17, 2012, and yielded 2274 records.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction and inhibition of aromatase (CYP19) activity by various classes of pesticides in H295R human adrenocortical carcinoma cells.
TL;DR: Time- response curves for cAMP induction and concentration-response curves for aromatase induction by vinclozolin, atrazine, and IBMX were similar, suggesting that the mechanism of aromat enzyme induction by these pesticides is mediated through inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional aspects of developmental toxicity of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons in experimental animals and human infants

TL;DR: The lowest observable adverse effect levels (LOAELs) for developmental neurobehavioral and reproduction endpoints, based on body burden of TCDD-toxic equivalents (TEQs) in animals, are within the range of current background human body burdens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurotoxicity of Brominated Flame Retardants: (In)direct Effects of Parent and Hydroxylated Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers on the (Developing) Nervous System
TL;DR: The increased hazard for developmental neurotoxicity by hydroxylated (OH-)PBDEs compared with their parent congeners via direct neurotoxicity and thyroid disruption clearly warrants further investigation into a) the role of oxidative metabolism in producing active metabolites of PBDEs and their impact on brain development; b) concentrations of parent and OH-PBDES in the brain; and c) interactions between different environmental contaminants during exposure to mixtures, which may increase neurotoxicity.
