In animals, endocrine, reproductive and developmental effects are among the most sensitive to dioxin exposure. Decreased sperm counts in rats and endometriosis in rhesus monkeys occur at concentrations 10 times higher than current human exposure. In humans, results are inconsistent regarding changes in ...
Objective Maternal exposure to dioxins [polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (DFs)] during pregnancy is known to affect infant growth and neurodevelopment in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between newborn size and the concentration...

Childhood cancer in the offspring of male sawmill workers occupationally exposed to chlorophenate fungicides. The objective of this study was to determine whether paternal occupational exposure to chlorophenol fungicides and their dioxin contaminants is associated ... H Heacock,C Hertzman,PA Demers,.....
We had the unique opportunity to study the results of a prolonged exposure to TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-P-dioxin) in rhesus monkeys and their offspring. Subsequently, we performed similar studies on humans exposed to the nematode pesticide, Aldicarb. This report summarizes those previous ...
Thus, future research should target the reproductive health of both males and females exposed postnatally and prenatally. Studies in humans are needed and are on-going. In animal models, postnatal exposure to dioxin or dioxinlike compounds has been associated with abnormal spermatogenesis and abnormal...
humans retrieved 205 studies out of which 27, plus an additional search extending the selection to another five studies, were eligible for inclusion based on three independent ratings. We found robust evidence for short- to moderate-term beneficial effects of plant-based diets versus conventional ...
Arsenic is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that has tendency to mimic the action of hormones in the body. Agricultural and industrial effluents are the major sources of arsenic exposure to the humans2. It can enter into the body via food, water and air; however, drinking the arsenic-...
Aflatoxins can be found in grains such as corn, wheat and rice, and a variety of other staples such as nuts and spices. How does Aspergillus flavus affect humans? Aspergillus flavus affects humans in various ways. The fungus produces a secondary metabolite called aflatoxin that can poison humans...
Urban pollution issues, both air and water, were tied into social interests/human health before gaining acknowledgement as purely environmental issues that had consequences for life other than humans. The intrinsic value of nature, with the exception of the wilderness preservation movement at the turn...
