Environmental and dietary factors associated with urinary OH-PAHs in mid-pregnancy in a large multi-site study.

Environ Res

December 2024

Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA; Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.

Background: PAH exposure is associated with adverse health outcomes, but exposure sources in pregnancy are not well-understood.

Objectives: We examined associations between urinary OH-PAHs during pregnancy and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and short-term ambient air pollution exposure. Participants included 1603 pregnant non-smokers in three cohorts from 7 sites across the USA.

Introduction: Approximately 25 million children ride buses to school in the United States. While school buses remain the safest school transport from a traffic accident perspective, older buses can expose students to high levels of diesel exhaust. These exposures can adversely affect health, which might cause missed school days and reduced learning.

Article Synopsis
  • Preterm birth (PTB) is linked to air pollution exposure, with varying effects depending on the type of pollutant and timing during pregnancy.
  • A study in North Carolina analyzed data from over 1.3 million births between 2003 and 2015 to assess the impact of fine particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and ozone (O) on PTB rates.
  • Findings indicated that higher PM and O exposure increased the risk of PTB, while NO exposure showed generally no significant association, suggesting PM might have the strongest influence on preterm births.

Methane emissions from residential natural gas meter set assemblies.

Sci Total Environ

June 2024

Centre for Smart Emissions Sensing Technologies, Department of Geography, University of Calgary, 2500 University Drive NW, Calgary T2N 1N4, AB, Canada.

Residential natural gas meter set assemblies (MSAs) emit methane (CH), but reported emissions factors vary. To test existing emissions factors, we quantified CH emissions from 37 residential MSAs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A notable difference with previous studies is the targeted measurement of regulator vents in this study, which were measured with a static chamber, while fugitives were measured with a modified hi-flow sampler.
