• Mixture toxicity, cumulative risk, and environmental justice in United States federal policy, 1980–2016 

  Hunt Sprinkle, Robert; Payne-Sturges, Devon C. (Springer Nature, 2021-09-17)

  Toxic chemicals — “toxicants” — have been studied and regulated as single entities, and, carcinogens aside, almost all toxicants, single or mixed and however altered, have been thought harmless in very low doses or very ...

• Climate change, extreme events, and increased risk of salmonellosis: foodborne diseases active surveillance network (FoodNet), 2004-2014 

  Morgado, Michele E.; Jiang, Chengsheng; Zambrana, Jordan; Upperman, Crystal Romeo; Mitchell, Clifford; Boyle, Michelle; Sapkota, Amy R.; Sapkota, Amir (Springer Nature, 2021-09-18)

  Infections with nontyphoidal Salmonella cause an estimated 19,336 hospitalizations each year in the United States. Sources of infection can vary by state and include animal and plant-based foods, as well as environmental ...

• Quantitative assessment of airborne exposures generated during common cleaning tasks: a pilot study 

  Bello, Anila; Quinn, Margaret M; Perry, Melissa J; Milton, Donald K (Springer Nature, 2010-11-30)

  A growing body of epidemiologic evidence suggests an association between exposure to cleaning products with asthma and other respiratory disorders. Thus far, these studies have conducted only limited quantitative exposure ...

• Temporal changes in the prevalence of childhood asthma and allergies in urban and rural areas of Cyprus: results from two cross sectional studies 

  Kolokotroni, Ourania; Middleton, Nicos; Nicolaou, Nicolas; Pipis, Spyros; Priftis, Kostas N; Milton, Donald K; Yiallouros, Panayiotis K (Springer Nature, 2011-11-11)

  The prevalence of childhood asthma and allergies in Cyprus was significantly higher in urban compared to rural areas back in the year 2000, against a background of an overall low prevalence (e.g. current wheeze 6.9%) by ...

• Effects of endotoxin exposure on childhood asthma risk are modified by a genetic polymorphism in ACAA1 

  Sordillo, Joanne E; Sharma, Sunita; Poon, Audrey; Lasky-Su, Jessica; Belanger, Kathleen; Milton, Donald K; Bracken, Michael B; Triche, Elizabeth W; Leaderer, Brian P; Gold, Diane R; Litonjua, Augusto A (Springer Nature, 2011-12-08)

  Polymorphisms in the endotoxin-mediated TLR4 pathway genes have been associated with asthma and atopy. We aimed to examine how genetic polymorphisms in innate immunity pathways interact with endotoxin to influence asthma ...
