Dioxin contamination in Vietnam has had a long-term impact on the environment and human health, particularly in hotspots of high contamination [1,2,3,4]. This has mainly been related to the use of herbicides, especially Agent Orange, which contains 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD...
In the last decade, there has been increasing interest in the effect of EDCs on human health, including their impact on the immune system. So far, researchers have proved that EDCs (e.g. bisphenols, phthalates, triclosan, phenols, propanil, tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, diethylstilbestrol, ...
The current impact of climate change on human health is not well quantified, but is estimated to be relatively small compared to the impact of other stressors globally [76]. Recent studies have attributed increases in heat-related mortality in Australia [77•] and Sweden [78•] and shifts...
For a long time, scientists considered genotoxic effects as the major issue concerning the influence of environmental chemicals on human health. Over the last decades, a new layer superimposed the genome, i.e., the epigenome, tremendously changing this point of view. The term “epigenetics” comp...
thus posing a threat to human health through the food chain (Fu and Du2011; Ge et al.2021; Khalid et al.2020; Li et al.2024b; Wang et al.2022,2015a). In the context of the near-permanent increase in microplastic contamination, a holistic understanding of ecosystem feedbacks of soil ...
The wide usage of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) results in its increasing occurrence in the environment and increasing attention in regard to human and animal health. BDE-209 is an endocrine disruptor for hypothyroidism, but the toxicity mechanism is unclear. Here, the histopathology and transcri...
The short- and medium-term effects of conflict on population health are reasonably well documented. Less considered are its consequences across generations and potential harms to the health of children yet to be born. Looking first at the nature and effe
