Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of self-reported smoking status by simultaneous measurement of carbon monoxide and salivary thiocyanate.
TL;DR: This comparison of questionnaire data with the simultaneous measurement of salivary thiocyanate and expired carbon monoxide indicates that valid responses can be obtained for self-reported, current smoking in population-based surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturation-dependent neurotoxicity of lead acetate in vitro: implication of glial reactions.
TL;DR: Markers of general cytotoxicity as well as cell‐type‐specific markers of glial and neuronal cells showed that immature brain cells were more sensitive to lead than the differentiated counterparts, demonstrating that the development‐dependent neurotoxicity of lead can be reproduced in aggregating brain cell cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human mercury exposure associated with small-scale gold mining in Burkina Faso.
TL;DR: This study attests that mercury exposure still is an issue of concern in Burkina Faso and North–South collaborations should encourage knowledge exchange between developing and developed countries, for a cleaner artisanal gold mining process and thus for reducing human health and environmental hazards due to mercury use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological monitoring of occupational exposure to toluene diisocyanate
TL;DR: The study validated the use of urinary TDA in postshift samples as an indicator of preceding 8-h exposure to toluene diisocyanate (TDI) by analysis for the 2,4- and 2,6-diamino isomers to give an idea of the percutaneous absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Trend and Determinants of Blood Lead Levels in a Swiss Population over a Transition Period (1984-1993) from Leaded to Unleaded Gasoline Use
TL;DR: The multivariate regression analysis shows that wine drinking remains the most important predictor of blood lead, whereas the influence of age increases with time and overcomes the effect of smoking in the third survey.
