Environmental Health | Abstract | Survey context and question wording affects self reported annoyance due to road traffic noise: a comparison between two cross-sectional studies
ehjournal.net — “Surveys are a common way to measure annoyance due to road traffic noise, but the method has some draw-backs. Survey context, question wording and answer alternatives could affect participation and answers and could have implications when comparing studies and/or performing pooled analyses. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in annoyance reporting due to road traffic noise in two types of surveys of which one was introduced broadly and the other with the clearly stated aim of” View full resource at ehjournal.net

Environmental Health | Abstract | An ecological quantification of the relationships between water, sanitation and infant, child, and maternal mortality
ehjournal.net — “Water and sanitation access are known to be related to newborn, child, and maternal health. Our study attempts to quantify these relationships globally using country-level data: How much does improving access to water and sanitation influence infant, child, and maternal mortality?” View full resource at ehjournal.net

Environmental Health | Abstract | The risk of cryptorchidism among sons of women working in horticulture in Denmark: a cohort study
ehjournal.net — “Androgens are crucial for normal testicular descent. Studies show that some pesticides have estrogenic or antiandrogenic effects, and that female workers exposed to pesticides have increased risk of having a boy with cryptorchidism. The main objective of the present study was to investigate whether pregnant women exposed to pesticides due to their work in horticulture experience excess risk of having sons with cryptorchidism.” View full resource at ehjournal.net

Environmental Health | Abstract | Identification of sources of lead exposure in French children by lead isotope analysis: A cross-sectional study
ehjournal.net — “The amount of lead in the environment has decreased significantly in recent years, and so did exposure. However, there is no known safe exposure level and, therefore, the exposure of children to lead, although low, remains a major public health issue. With the lower levels of exposure, it is becoming more difficult to identify lead sources and new approaches may be required for preventive action. This study assessed the usefulness of lead isotope ratios for identifying sources of lead using data” View full resource at ehjournal.net

Environmental Health | Abstract | Use of a total traffic count metric to investigate the impact of roadways on asthma severity: a case-control study
ehjournal.net — “This study had two principal objectives: (i) to investigate the relationship between asthma severity and proximity to major roadways in Perth, Western Australia; (ii) to demonstrate a more accurate method of exposure assessment for traffic pollutants using an innovative GIS-based measure that fully integrates all traffic densities around subject residences.” View full resource at ehjournal.net
