Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the link between agricultural pesticide use near homes in California and the levels of those pesticides found in household dust, considering factors like crop location and wind direction.
- Researchers collected carpet dust samples from 578 homes and measured specific herbicides and fungicides, using data from the California Pesticide Use Reporting (CPUR) database.
- Results showed that higher pesticide application densities were strongly correlated with increased pesticide concentrations in dust, with glyphosate and 2,4-D showing particularly high levels, suggesting a significant impact on residential exposure.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between living near facilities that emit polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) within a large cohort from the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study.
- - Researchers analyzed historical data from 4,478 PCDD/F sources and assessed exposure based on distance and emissions, revealing that higher exposure levels were correlated with increased NHL risk, particularly at varying distances (3, 5, and 10 km).
- - Specific findings highlighted a notable link between proximity to these emissions and certain subtypes of NHL, such as follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,
In this study, we examine the prevalence of income and career concerns among emerging adults in three different welfare states during COVID-19: Finland ( = 309), Sweden ( = 324), and the United Kingdom ( = 343). This study also delves into how factors such as one's self-perceived financial situation, generalized mistrust, loneliness and socio-demographics are related to emerging adults' income and career concerns. Results showed that individuals from the United Kingdom were more likely to experience increased income and career concerns than those in Finland and Sweden.

They are popular among gamblers and pose various risks due to their gambling-like nature, but little is known about psychosocial vulnerabilities and financial consequences of purchasing them. This article examined psychosocial associations with self-reported increase in loot box purchasing and indebtedness among past-year gamblers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Contaminants in drinking water are a major contributor to the human exposome and adverse health effects. Assessing drinking water exposure accurately in health studies is challenging, as several of the following study design domains should be addressed as adequately as possible. In this paper, we identify the domains Time, Space, Data Quality, Data Accessibility, economic considerations of Study Size, and Complex Mixtures.
