Improved NIST SRM aids lead poisoning detection
Lead in goat blood might not be on the top of your shopping list, but for U.S. medical personnel who each year perform more than 2 million human blood measurements, Standard Reference Material (SRM) 955c from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can't be beat. view more (2007-08-06)
Gold Solution for Enhancing Nanocrystal Electrical Conductance
In a development that holds much promise for the future of solar cells made from nanocrystals, and the use of solar energy to produce clean and renewable liquid transportation fuels, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have reported a technique by which the electrical conductivity... view more...

NO LINK BETWEEN ULTRASOUND AND RISK OF CHILDHOOD LEUKAEMIA
Dr Estelle Naumburg and colleagues from Uppsala University and the Karolinska Institute say that previously there have been concerns over a possible association between exposure to ultrasound in utero and an increased risk of childhood malignancies. But they have not been substantiated, say the authors and so they set out to establish whether... view more... (2000-01-25)
EPA releases guide to help scientists understand children's exposure to pollutants
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today released a user-friendly document to help risk assessors understand how children are exposed to pollution. view more (2009-10-28)
'Strained' quantum dots show new optical properties
Quantum dots, tiny luminescent particles made of semiconductors, hold promise for detecting and treating cancer earlier. However, if doctors were to use them in humans, quantum dots could have limitations related to their size and possible toxicity. view more (2008-12-08)
Familiarity Breeds Content
New technology and constant organisational changes may seem a headache but new research suggests that, given time and appropriate conditions, employees may accept change and even be happier after it than they were before. Research by Carolyn Axtell and colleagues from the ESRC Centre for Organization and Innovation at The University of Sheffield,... view more... (2002-06-10)
No increased risk of brain cancer from electromagnetic fields
Exposure to electromagnetic fields does not increase the risk of developing a brain tumour, finds a study of electricity industry workers, reported in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Researchers from the Institute of Occupational Health at the University of Birmingham assessed causes of death among just under 84,000 workers employed in... view more... (2001-09-07)
Prenatal meth exposure linked to abnormal brain development
A first of its kind study examining the effects of methamphetamine use during pregnancy has found the drug appears to cause abnormal brain development in children. view more (2009-04-16)
Exposure To Bacteria Modulates Immune Response And Decreases Allergy In Farm Children (p 465)
Findings from a Research Letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide support for the idea that children who grow up on farms have fewer allergies because they are exposed to more microbes than other children. Farmers' children are known to be less prone to allergies than children who do not grow up on farms, but the exact reason is not... view more... (2002-08-07)
Exposure to smoking during school hours influences adolescent smoking behaviour
The years that a child spends in secondary education represent a crucial period of risk of incident smoking. Two studies in Tobacco Control suggest that exposure to smokers in school tutor groups and exposure to teachers smoking during school hours can influence the smoking behaviour of adolescents. In the first study, researchers surveyed 6,522... view more... (2002-08-27)
Pesticides exposure associated with Parkinson's disease
In the first large-scale, prospective study to examine possible links between chronic, low-dose exposure to pesticides and Parkinson's disease (PD), researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have shown that individuals reporting exposure to pesticides had a 70 percent higher incidence of PD than those not reporting exposure. view more (2006-06-27)
Banning Smoking At Home Protects Infants
Banning smoking in the home leads to a small but meaningful fall in infant exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, whereas less strict measures have no effect, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Parents from 314 households with young infants took part in the study. Parents were interviewed at home about their knowledge and use of harm reduction... view more... (2003-07-30)
Study concludes that pesticide use increases risk of Parkinson's in men
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that using pesticides for farming or other purposes increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease for men. view more (2006-06-15)
Hard shell, glowing core
Tiny semiconductor crystals can be prompted to give off light - brighter than conventional dyes and in wavelength ranges that these only produce under certain conditions. Israeli chemist Uri Banin and his coworker Yun-Wie Cao demonstrated this with several core/shell nanocrystals made of the semiconductor indium arsenide. It has been known for... view more...

High exposure to motor oil increases chances of developing arthritis
Occupational exposure to mineral oils, in particular hydraulic or motor oil, increases the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis by 30%. These are the results of a study published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy. view more (2005-09-23)
DFG Presents The 2004 MAK And BAT Value Lists
The Senate Commission of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) on the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has presented the 2004 Maximum Allowable Concentration (Maximale Arbeitsplatzkonzentrationen - MAK) and Biological Tolerance Value (Biologische Arbeitsstofftoleranzwerte - BAT)... view more...

Hair samples may be more accurate measure of exposure to second hand smoke
Strands of hair accurately measure second hand tobacco smoke exposure, finds research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. And they may be more effective than currently used methods, suggest the authors. view more (2001-12-17)
Making nanoparticles in artificial cells
Two new construction manuals are now available for the world's smallest lamps. Based on these protocols, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have tailor-made nanoparticles that can be used as position lights on cell proteins and, possibly in the future as well, as light sources for display screens or for optical... view more...

Study supports link between passive exposure to cigarette smoke and risk of heart disease
Non-smokers who are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke for at least 30 minutes a day are at far greater risk of developing acute coronary syndromes compared with people who are not exposed, finds a study in Tobacco Control. These findings support the role of environmental tobacco smoke in the development of adverse cardiac events. A total of... view more... (2002-08-27)
