Journal ArticleDOI
Lactation and a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer
Polly A. Newcomb,Barry E. Storer,Matthew P. Longnecker,Robert Mittendorf,E R Greenberg,Richard W. Clapp,K.P. Burke,Walter C. Willett,Brian MacMahon +8 more
TL;DR: A multicenter, population-based, case-control study with a sample large enough for it to describe more precisely the association between lactation and the risk of breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Full cost accounting for the life cycle of coal.
Paul R. Epstein,Jonathan J. Buonocore,Kevin Eckerle,Michael Hendryx,Benjamin M. Stout,Richard Heinberg,Richard W. Clapp,Beverly May,Nancy L. Reinhart,Melissa M. Ahern,Samir Doshi,Leslie W. Glustrom +11 more
TL;DR: This work estimates that the life cycle effects of coal and the waste stream generated are costing the U.S. public a third to over one‐half of a trillion dollars annually, and conservatively doubles to triples the price of electricity from coal per kWh generated, making wind, solar, and other forms of nonfossil fuel power generation, along with investments in efficiency and electricity conservation methods, economically competitive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental and Occupational Causes of Cancer: New Evidence 2005-2007
TL;DR: This report chronicles the most recent epidemiologic evidence linking occupational and environmental exposures with cancer and argues for a new cancer prevention paradigm, one based on an understanding that cancer is ultimately caused by multiple interacting factors rather than a paradigm based on dubious attributable fractions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifestyle-related factors and environmental agents causing cancer: an overview.
Philippe Irigaray,J. A. Newby,Richard W. Clapp,Lennart Hardell,V. Howard,L. Montagnier,Slava S. Epstein,Dominique Belpomme +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the involuntary exposure to many carcinogens in the environment, including microorganisms, bacteria, parasites, radiations, and many xenochemicals, may account for the recent growing incidence of cancer and therefore that the risk attributable to environmental carcinogen may be far higher than it is usually agreed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The multitude and diversity of environmental carcinogens.
Dominique Belpomme,Philippe Irigaray,Lennart Hardell,Richard W. Clapp,Luc Montagnier,Slava S. Epstein,Annie J. Sasco +6 more
TL;DR: This long list of carcinogenic and especially mutagenic factors supports the working hypothesis according to which numerous cancers may in fact be caused by the recent modification of the authors' environment.
