Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to disinfection by-products, fetal growth, and prematurity: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
James Grellier,James E. Bennett,Evridiki Patelarou,Rachel B. Smith,Mireille B. Toledano,Lesley Rushton,David J. Briggs,Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen +7 more
TL;DR: There was little or no evidence for associations between total trihalomethane concentration and adverse birth outcomes relating to fetal growth and prematurity, with the possible exception of SGA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology and possible mechanisms of disinfection by-products in drinking water.
Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen,James Grellier,Rachel B. Smith,Nina Iszatt,James E. Bennett,Nicky Best,Mireille B. Toledano +6 more
TL;DR: There appears to be good epidemiological evidence for a relationship between exposure to DBPs, as measured by trihalomethanes (THMs), in drinking water and bladder cancer, but the evidence for other cancers including colorectal cancer is inconclusive and inconsistent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of London's road traffic air and noise pollution on birth weight: retrospective population based cohort study.
Rachel B. Smith,Rachel B. Smith,Daniela Fecht,John S. Gulliver,Sean Beevers,David Dajnak,Marta Blangiardo,Rebecca Ghosh,Anna Hansell,Anna Hansell,Frank J. Kelly,H. Ross Anderson,H. Ross Anderson,Mireille B. Toledano,Mireille B. Toledano +14 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that air pollution from road traffic in London is adversely affecting fetal growth and there is little evidence for an independent exposure-response effect of traffic related noise on birth weight outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health impacts of long-term exposure to disinfection by-products in drinking water in Europe: HIWATE.
Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen,Rachel B. Smith,Spyros K. Golfinopoulos,Nicky Best,James E. Bennett,Gabriella Aggazzotti,Elena Righi,Guglielmina Fantuzzi,Luca Bucchini,Sylvaine Cordier,Cristina M. Villanueva,Victor Moreno,Carlo La Vecchia,Cristina Bosetti,Terttu Vartiainen,R. Rautiu,Mireille B. Toledano,Nina Iszatt,Regina Grazuleviciene,Manolis Kogevinas +19 more
TL;DR: The overall aim of the HIWATE study is to investigate potential human health risks associated with long-term exposure to low levels of disinfectants and DBPs occurring in water for human consumption and use in the food industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of air pollution and noise on risk of preterm birth and stillbirth in London
Rachel B. Smith,Sean Beevers,John S. Gulliver,David Dajnak,Daniela Fecht,Marta Blangiardo,Margaret Douglass,Anna Hansell,H. Ross Anderson,Frank J. Kelly,Mireille B. Toledano,Mireille B. Toledano +11 more
TL;DR: Exposure to higher levels of O3 and primary traffic non-exhaust related PM2.5 during pregnancy may increase risk of preterm birth and stillbirth; and a possible relationship between long-term traffic-related noise and risk ofPreterm birth is suggested.
