Future systematic investigations of the relationships between air pollutants and histone modifications in large population samples are warranted to elucidate the contributions of histone modifications to environment-associated diseases.
Knockout of Suv39h1 and Suv39h2 in mouse results in widespread genomic instability and increased incidence of lymphomas, suggesting that 3MeH3K9 is a critical modification to maintain chromosomal environments [2].
More work is needed to understand effects of in situ modifications to outdoor environments on residents' stress response.
Design modifications to outdoor environments can increase thermal comfort, and in extreme cases can be life-saving.
Our results suggest that weight control strategies should expand to include wider societal policies that incorporate modifications to eating environments and to the visual presentation and branding of food products.
In addition to off-leash policies, factors that merit consideration regarding dog-walking and dog-fouling include implementation strategies, physical features, socio-demographic characteristics and modifications to park environments.
An accommodation is a modification to a work environment or job functions to enable a qualified person with a disability to benefit from the same employment opportunities and rights afforded similarly situated individuals without disabilities.
That is, once a modification to the built environment has been made, few follow-up interventions aimed at motivating surrounding populations to make use of these modifications are conducted.
In our case studies, the ranges of top predators contracted due to killing by humans and human modifications to the environment (for example, habitat loss and fragmentation).
Furthermore, if we implement an educational programme to change people's behaviour and make some simple modifications to the environment, there is every chance of eradicating the disease altogether.
Clinicians involved in the provision of care to patients need to be attuned and aware of the consequences of sleep disturbance and how to make modifications to their environment and care planning in order to promote sleep and aid recovery.
