Diagnosis, monitoring and prevention of exposure-related non-communicable diseases in the living and working environment: DiMoPEx-project is designed to determine the impacts of environmental exposure on human health Lygia Therese Budnik, Balazs Adam, Maria Albin, Barbara Banelli, Xaver Baur, ...
For each sample, we obtained a median of 62.2M (DNA) and 45.8M (RNA) unique 2 × 151 bp paired-end reads, resulting in a dataset of 42.9B and 30.4B total reads for DNA andRNA, respectively (Figures S1G–S1J), representing the largest personal environmental biological exposure sampling t...
Soil degradation is an exceedance of the capacity and resiliency of soil for providing functions and ecosystem services. It is a complex ongoing phenomenon threatening humans’ livelihoods and our future on earth. Knowledge gain can help to find solution
Research addressing the links between environmental exposure and disease prevalence is key for prevention of the pandemic increase in NCD morbidity and mortality. However, the long latency, the chronic course of some diseases and the necessity to address cumulative exposures over very long periods does...
A termite bait includes a plurality of cellulosic food material pieces palatable to termites embedded within a water resistant polyurethane foam matrix. Another termite bait include
Based on the health risk assessment, exposure of humans to phthalates in drinking water was acceptable and did not pose carcinogenic effects. Further studies are recommended for adequate monitoring of phthalates in drinking water, food, and air in order to ensure human health....
Previous studies on the use of saliva for biomonitoring have focused on herbicide (3), insecticide =-=(4, 5)-=-, lead (6, 7), cadmium (7), phthalate (8), and drug (9) concentrations in humans or animal models. The concentrations of chemical contaminants in saliva have been shown to...
As such, it would overcome some of the limitations of conventional biomonitoring, which by its nature is limited to collecting data only from individuals and incurs very high costs, requires considerable resources, cannot provide results in near real-time, tends to focus on biomarkers of exposure ...
These compounds can bio-accumulate in the food chain due to their lipophilic properties, and they show adverse effects ranging from acute to chronic toxicity [2]. Different pathologies have been reported to be correlated with POPs exposure, such as cancer, allergies and hypersensitivity, damage of...
