Background: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cross the placenta and thereby expose the fetus, which may lead to developmental consequences. It is still unclear which chemicals are of concern regarding neurodevelopment and specifically behaviour, when being exposed to a mixture.
Objective: The objective is to determine associations between prenatal exposure to EDCs and behavioural difficulties.
Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been associated with impaired antibody levels after childhood vaccinations and immunosuppressive effects in animals. However, the in vivo effects of PFAS on antigen specific human T cell responses have not been investigated in adults. In Ronneby, Sweden, the drinking water of one of the water works was previously highly contaminated with primarily perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS).

Over-the-counter analgesics have been associated with disrupted male endocrinology, while the effects on female endocrinology remain nearly unknown. The aim was to understand the effect of long-term analgesic exposure in females with medication overuse headache on Anti-Müllerian hormone, a surrogate measure of female fertility.

We aimed to investigate associations between snus and cardiometabolic health markers among young men and women.
Method: This study was conducted within the BAMSE birth cohort and included participants followed up around 24 years (n=2256) and 26 years (n=1011).
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted among 299 farmworkers in Costa Rica to investigate the impact of pesticide exposure on respiratory and allergic health outcomes.
- Researchers used questionnaires and urine samples to measure pesticide biomarkers and assess symptoms over the past year, employing complex statistical models.
- Results indicated that specific pesticide metabolites, particularly those from organophosphates and fungicides, were linked to higher risks of asthma and rhinitis, with some herbicides showing negative associations, suggesting a complex relationship between pesticide exposure and health.
