The results, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, appeared to confirm that chronic lymphocytic leukemia could be linked to radiation exposure, as had been suggested by earlier studies of Japanese atomic-bomb survivors.
A more appropriate approach is to maximise the precision of the epidemiologic investigations by measurement of individual exposure (or water quality) at the place and time of the exposure, as has been done in randomised volunteer studies in the UK and Germany.
Hearing loss and tooth decay have been linked to lead exposure, as have cataracts.
These results demonstrate that ROS scavenging systems are rather suppressed, and ROS are enhanced, by IM exposure, as has been reported for others stress treatments [28], [42], especially R-IM.
Other disorders that show discrepant sex ratios have not been the focus of as much research on possible links to early testosterone exposure as have ASD.
This issue can be overcome by oscillating the crystal during the exposure, as has long been standard practice in goniometer-based X-ray crystallography (Arndt & Wonacott, 1977 ▸).
A strong reduction in risk of radiation-associated breast cancer was seen for women who had premature menopause due to chemotherapy or ovarian radiation exposure, as had been suggested previously [ 38, 80].
Private wells were preferentially sampled based on homeowner requests, possibly causing an overestimate of population-based arsenic exposure, as has been shown in another region of the US [ 54].
Some of these inconsistencies, found for endotoxin, (1→3 -β- d-glucans, and fungi, may be related to timing or dose of exposure, as has been recently hypothesized (Douwes et al. 2007), but evidence is still weak.
