Ambient measurements of hazardous air pollutants (air toxics) have been used to validate model-predicted concentrations of air toxics but have not been used to perform risk screening at the national level. We used ambient concentrations of routinely measured air toxics

Hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia are well-known adverse effects that follow ingestion of naphthalene mothballs. They are only rarely reported in association with ingestion of paradichlorobenzene mothballs. An asymptomatic boy presented to our pediatric emergency department after ingesting paradichlorobenzene mothballs. Three
Environmental health perspectives, 117(12), 1925-1931 (2010-01-06)
Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in the United States; however, minimal information is available on their cancer risks from exposures to hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and how these risks compare to risks to non-Hispanic whites. We estimated the
General hospital psychiatry, 32(3), 341-341 (2010-05-01)
Case reports of mothball ingestion have shown that paradichlorobenzene, the organic compound found in mothballs, can induce multiple organ effects, including encephalopathy. Psychiatrists are often involved in these cases due to presumed depression. Diagnosis is frequently delayed and/or inaccurate due
