Elevated biomarkers of sympatho-adrenomedullary activity linked to e-waste air pollutant exposure in preschool children.
TL;DR: It is suggested that air pollution exposure in e-waste recycling areas could result in an increase in heart rate and plasma norepinephrine, implying e-Waste air pollutant exposure impairs the SAM system in children.

The environment and disease: association or causation?
TL;DR: This paper contrasts Bradford Hill’s approach with a currently fashionable framework for reasoning about statistical associations – the Common Task Framework – and suggests why following Bradford Hill, 50+ years on, is still extraordinarily reasonable.
