exposures

"So, preventing young people from smoking, or from tanning, or from other obvious carcinogenic exposures are probably even more important than we thought."

"By unveiling such factors, we can develop strategies to minimize exposures, ultimately improving the quality of life for the growing aging population."

"We are coming to understand that lead exposures from the past -- even decades in the past -- can influence our health today," Reuben said.

However, he noted, GSNR’s project could potentially reduce short-term exposures for many more people than the number for whom it would worsen chronic exposures, likely resulting in a net positive.

As an environmental epidemiologist with training in nutritional sciences, I have investigated the relationship between nutritional status, diets and heavy metal exposures in children.
