Air pollution exposure and respiratory health

(Corresponding) Ntarladima A., Vaartjes I., Grobbee D., Dijst M., Schmitz O., Uiterwaal C., Dalmeijer G., Ent C., Hoek G., Karssenberg D.

Topic:

Environmental exposures and human health

Background: Studies relating air pollution exposures and health in children tend to show inconsistent associations. The most of the studies rely on the front-door air pollution estimates to represent individual exposure; however, there is evidence that residential address exposures tend to...Read more

Effect of iodine containing irrigation water on plant physiological processes of bean and potato cultivated in different soils

(Corresponding) Dobosy P., Vetési V., Kröpfl K., Sandil S., Óvári M., Rékási M., Záray G.

Topic:

Environmental exposures and human health

Iodine deficiency is a well known environmental health problem in several regions of the world. Fruits and vegetables have been proven to be an effective way to increase iodine intake for humans by iodine enriched edible plants. In our study plant physiological processes of potato and bean plants...Read more

Environmentally friendly disinfection of air and surfaces in medicine

Pintarič Š., (Corresponding) Pintarič R., (Corresponding) Henigman U., (Corresponding) Janković L.

Topic:

Environmental exposures and human health

Hospitals are faced with increasingly resistant strains of microorganisms. When it comes to disinfection, individual parts of electronic equipment of angiology diagnostics such as patient couches of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners prove to be very hard to...Read more

Biomonitoring of 21 phthalate metabolites in Slovak pre-school and school age children related to their consumer practices

(Corresponding) Šidlovská M., Hlisníková H., Petrovičová I., Kolena B., Wimmerová S., Pälmke C., Koch H.

Topic:

Environmental exposures and human health

Consumer practices are considered to be the main source of human exposure to phthalates. The aim of our study was biomonitoring of low molecular weight phthalate (LMWP) and high molecular weight phthalate (HMWP) metabolites in Slovak pre-school (n=100; age range 1-6 years) and school age children (...Read more

Experimental approach for metabolic disorders as a tool to investigate impact of environment on reproductive health

(Corresponding) Pavlova E., Lakova E., Vladov I., Zapryanova S., Gluhcheva Y., Ivanov I., Svechnikov K., Atanassova N.

Topic:

Environmental exposures and human health

The epidemics of obesity and diabetes have occurred contemporaneously with increasing use and exposure to environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals. Metabolic disorders affect male reproductive potential due to low sperm count and quality, reduced sperm motility and suppression of...Read more

Potential Links between Precipitation and Anthrax Outbreak at North-West Siberia

(Corresponding) Ezhova E., Orlov D., Malkhazova S., Drozdov D., Gennadinik V., Kaverin D., Zilitinkevich S., Kerminen V., Petäjä T., Kulmala M.

Topic:

Environmental exposures and human health

West Siberia is a region subject to fast warming and unstable precipitation regime. In 2016, the most devastating anthrax outbreak in seventy years occurred in the northern part of the region. A working hypothesis suggests that permafrost thawing led to an exposure of old infected carcasses. We...Read more

Emissions of volatile organic compounds from flex printing facility

(Corresponding) Savic B., Tanovic P., Janjic N.

Topic:

Environmental exposures and human health

The present study was undertaken to investigate, the level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in working zone of flex printing facility in Novi Sad, Serbia. The levels of VOCs were determined at four sampling position: at the machine; at a distance of 3 m from the machine; at the outlet of...Read more
