Trends of Exposure to Acrylamide as Measured by Urinary Biomarkers Levels withi...
Poteser, Michael; Laguzzi, Federica; Schettgen, Thomas; Vogel, Nina; Weber, Till; Murawski, Aline; Schmidt, Phillipp; Rüther, MariaAcrylamide, a substance potentially carcinogenic in humans, represents a very prevalent contaminant in food and is also contained in tobacco smoke. Occupational exposure to higher concentrations of acrylamide was shown to induce neurotoxicity in humans. To minimize related risks for public health, it is vital to obtain data on the actual level of exposure in differently affected segments of the population. To a...
Time Trends of Acrylamide Exposure in Europe: Combined Analysis of Published Re...
Poteser, Michael; Laguzzi, Federica; Schettgen, Thomas; Vogel, Nina; Weber, Till; Zimmermann, Philipp; Hahn, Domenica; Kolossa-Gehring, MarikeMore than 20 years ago, acrylamide was added to the list of potential carcinogens found in many common dietary products and tobacco smoke. Consequently, human biomonitoring studies investigating exposure to acrylamide in the form of adducts in blood and metabolites in urine have been performed to obtain data on the actual burden in different populations of the world and in Europe. Recognizing the related health...
Potential health risk of endocrine disruptors in construction sector and plasti...
Fucic, Aleksandra; Galea, Karen; Duca, Radu Corneliu; El Yamani, Mounia; Frery, Nadine; Godderis, Lode; Halldorsson, Thórhallur Ingi; Iavicoli, IvoEndocrine disruptors (EDs) belong to large and diverse groups of agents that may cause multiple biological effects associated with, for example, hormone imbalance and infertility, chronic diseases such as diabetes, genome damage, and cancer. The health risks related to the exposure to EDs are typically underestimated, less well characterized, and not regulated to the same extent as, for example, carcinogens. Th...

Exposure to secondhand smoke in terraces and other outdoor areas of hospitality...
Lopez, Maria José; Fernández, Esteve; Gorini, Giuseppe; Moshammer, Hanns; Polanska, Kinga; Clancy, Luke; Dautzenberg, Bertrand; Delrieu, AgnesBackground: Outdoor secondhand smoke (SHS) concentrations are usually lower than indoor concentrations, yet some studies have shown that outdoor SHS levels could be comparable to indoor levels under specific conditions. The main objectives of this study were to assess levels of SHS exposure in terraces and other outdoor areas of hospitality venues and to evaluate their potential displacement to adjacent indoor ...
Mass calibration and Relative Humidity compensation requirements for optical po...
Ruprecht, Ario A.; De Marco, Cinzia; Boffi, Roberto; Mazza, Roberto; Lopez, Maria José; Moshammer, Hanns; Dautzenberg, Bertrand; Clancy, LukeBetter knowledge of particulate matter (PM) concentrations needs portable, reliable, user friendly, low cost, real time mass analyzers of PM2.5 and PM10. Optical Particle Counters (OPC) measuring mass have manufacturer calibration specific gravity “K” factor referred to polystyrene latex particles which are completely different than those of the real world, therefore they require specific calibrations.
