The Public Forum and Toxics Assistance (PFTA) division uses Community Environmental Forum Theater productions to develop public awareness of linkages between toxic exposures and human health, and to promote dialogue on risk assessment and public environmental policy.
To date, however, the data systems established and used for surveillance focus either on diseases/syndromes or on media (e.g., ambient air pollutants, toxic agents) without formal linkage between systems.
To determine why early oligomers formed by such linkages are consistently toxic we have examined the β-interlinkages formed by members of a widely distributed family of serine protease inhibitors, the serpins [6,14].
Recent articles on hormesis largely fail to address hormesis as a modifier of environmental xenobiotic impacts on embryologic and/or fetal development in humans or the linkage of prenatal toxic exposures to postnatal developmental effects.
In the presence of pesticides and/or heavy metals, the linkage between the toxic compound and the subunit D1 of PSII causes a modification of the signal (Fig. 9) (Giardi et al., 2008, 2009).
An example of one approach using the concept of alienation is discussed, wherein linkages have been found between toxic contamination, alienation, and psychological coping difficulties.
However, the o-nitrobenzyl esters linkage and its photodegradation byproduct (e.g., nitrosobenzaldehyde) are highly suspected to be toxic in vivo.
The selection with toxic leaf litter was a recent event in the history of the resistant strain so linkage disequilibrium is probably extensive in the vicinity of selected genes [ 36].
Still, freshwater cyanobacterial studies exploring physiological linkages between gene responses to N limitation and changes in cell physiology have been limited, especially for toxic, freshwater genera such as Microcystis.
The conceptual framework aims to provide the linkages between all options to forward safe chemical production and use, and eventually reaching the non-toxic status.
