To date, few studies have explored the potential relationship between long-term exposure to PM2.5 and mortality in rural areas; however, some evidence suggests that the association between PM2.5 and life expectancy may be stronger in more urban, densely populated regions (Correia et al. 2013).
Two observational retrospective case-control studies explored the potential ototoxic effect of ACTs after multiple exposures and included children under 5 years old.
To determine the causal association between the exposure to mixed fire extinguishants and the hematologic effects, we explored the potential dose response relationship.
In this study, we chose to explore the potential linkage between exposure to PM2.5 and human influenza, given the consideration of nature of the disease, biological plausibility, and availability of the influenza data.
This study is the first to explore the potential sources of aflatoxin exposure by comparing levels in the various sources of maize available to this high risk population.
No studies exist that explore the potential link between fetal exposure to EDCs and the risk of testicular cancer occurring 20 40 years later.
As more cancers are diagnosed and the cohort ages, analyses that further explore the potential association between EPTC exposure and cancer incidence should be performed to assess the reproducibility of our observations.
Another purpose was to explore the potential effects of Pb exposure, sex, age, and Zn and iron status, assessed by serum Zn and ferritin levels, on liver CYP2A6 phenotypic variability and renal toxicity.
In summary, the analyses described in this article will provide foundations for future research by exploring the potential mechanisms linking mycotoxin exposure to child stunting, and will provide knowledge about relevant agricultural practices that could be targeted in the development of interventions to reduce mycotoxin exposure in vulnerable populations.
To explore the potential association between asbestos exposure and risk of autoimmune disease, we conducted a case control study among a cohort of 7,307 current and former residents of Libby, Montana, a community with historical occupational and environmental exposure to asbestos-contaminated vermiculite.
