Children gradually develop motor skills that enable them to move efficiently in various daily activities such as self-care, academics and sports. The impact of prenatal exposure to endocrine disruptors (EDCs) ...
Extensive use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has resulted in their ubiquitous presence in human blood. PFAS exposures have been associated with multiple adverse human health effects. Biomonitori...
The study aimed to investigate the association between domestic water hardness and the incidence of AF and the interaction effects between water hardness and genetic susceptibility to incident AF risk. As a se...
Extreme drought events can impact human health, notably triggering epidemics that impose significant global health and economic burdens. Understanding these effects and developing response strategies is crucia...
Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) is a pathogenic mechanism of adverse pregnancy outcomes and PM2.5–induced cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the associations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and chemical cons...
Incidence of childhood Ewing sarcoma, a rare cancer affecting bones and soft tissues, is increasing. Environmental exposures during the perinatal period, like air pollution, may play a role. We examined exposu...
Quantifying the impacts of reduction strategies on PM2.5-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is essential for reducing the health risks of PM2.5. The COVID-19 lockdown provided an opportunity to reveal ...
Anxiety disorders are a leading cause of severe quality of life impairment and are among the most common mental disorders globally. However, few studies have investigated the association between exposure to hi...
Air pollution is a global public health concern and incidence rates of metabolic syndrome (MetS) are increasing. To evaluate the effect of long-term air pollution exposure, we examined the association between ...
DNA methylation is a critical step in brain development, 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5mdC) is one of the global DNA methylation markers. Arsenic and lead exposures have been associated with neurotoxicity, which...
