Objective: To assess the role of occupational noise exposure on pregnancy complications in urban Nordic populations.
Methods: A study population covering five metropolitan areas in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden was generated using national birth registries linked with occupational and residential environmental exposures and sociodemographic variables. The data covered all pregnancies during 5-11 year periods in 2004‒2016, resulting in 373 184 pregnancies.
Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and risk of lung cancer - A comparative analysis of incidence and mortality in four administrative cohorts in the ELAPSE study.

Article Synopsis
- * Using advanced statistical models, researchers analyzed data over a significant follow-up period, revealing that lung cancer incidence was positively linked to fine particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and black carbon (BC), while showing a negative association with ozone (O) which flipped after adjusting for NO.
- * The results indicated that the increased risk of lung cancer incidence was nearly as strong as that for mortality, with both associations remaining significant even at lower pollution levels, suggesting that air quality should be a crucial public health consideration.
Introduction: Previous studies identified some environmental and lifestyle factors independently associated with children respiratory health, but few focused on exposure mixture effects. This study aimed at identifying, in pregnancy and in childhood, combined urban and lifestyle environment profiles associated with respiratory health in children.
Methods: This study is based on the European Human Early-Life Exposome (HELIX) project, combining six birth cohorts.
Green spaces may have beneficial impacts on children's cognition. However, few studies explored the exposure to green spaces beyond residential areas, and their availability, accessibility and uses at the same time. The aim of the present study was to describe patterns of availability, accessibility, and uses of green spaces among primary school children and to explore how these exposure dimensions are associated with cognitive development.

The aim was to identify amino acid SLC(s) responsible for uptake of sarcosine and glycine in prostate cancer cells and investigate the impact hereon of hyperosmotic stress. Uptake of C-sarcosine and H-glycine was measured in human prostate cancer (PC-3) cells cultured under isosmotic (300 mOsm/kg) and hyperosmotic (500 mOsm/kg) conditions for 24 h.
