Differences in the catalytic efficiencies of allelic variants of glutathione transferase P1-1 towards carcinogenic diol epoxides of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Kathrin Sundberg,Anne Sofie Johansson,Gun Stenberg,Mikael Widersten,Albrecht Seidel,Bengt Mannervik,Bengt Jernström +6 more
TL;DR: Individuals who are homozygous for the allele GSTP1* B (coding for GSTP 1-1/V-105) display a higher susceptibility to malignancy because of other factors than a decreased catalytic efficiency of GSTP2-1-1 or V-105 in the detoxication of carcinogenic diol epoxides of benzo[a]pyrene or structurally related PAH.
Journal Article
Cigarette smoking and the risk of breast cancer in women: a review of the literature.
Paul Terry,Thomas E. Rohan +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, the results of these studies suggest that smoking probably does not decrease the risk and indeed suggest that there may be an increased breast cancer risk with smoking of long duration, smoking before a first full-term pregnancy, and passive smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of toxic equivalency factors in assessing occupational and environmental health risk associated with exposure to airborne mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
TL;DR: A variability of risk estimation for PAH mixtures based on the toxic equivalency factor concept by a factor 2.6 is low and rather unreasonably precise, which underlines the importance of BaP as a surrogate compound of a PAH mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicological and health concerns of persistent coloring pollutants of textile industry wastewater and treatment approaches for environmental safety
Roop Kishor,Diane Purchase,Ganesh Dattatraya Saratale,Rijuta Ganesh Saratale,Luiz Fernando Romanholo Ferreira,Muhammad Bilal,Ram Chandra,Ram Naresh Bharagava +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of different textile industry processes, wastewater generation, its nature and chemical composition, environmental impacts and health hazards and treatment approaches available for TIWW treatment is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous abortions and malformations in the offspring of nurses exposed to anaesthetic gases, cytostatic drugs, and other potential hazards in hospitals, based on registered information of outcome.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the exposures investigated, other than cytostatic drugs, do not cause a strong reproductive risk and further studies are needed.
