Three walkability measures were estimated within a walking distance of 640m of participant's addresses: points of interest (POI), transit stations, and impedance (restrictions to walking due to absence of intersections and physical barriers). Walkability measures were applied as continuous and categorical (tertiles) variables in data analyses. Mortality data was obtained from the National Death Registry maintained by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan. A time-varying Cox regression model was used to investigate the association of neighborhood walkability with deaths from natural causes and specific causes.RESULTSThis study identified 24,744 deaths over a median follow up of 16.9 years. Compared with participants living with the first tertile for numbers of POI and transit stations, those living with higher numbers of POI and transit stations were associated with a lower risk of natural-cause mortality, with hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) of 0.97 (0.94, 1.00) and 0.93 (0.90, 0.96) for second and third tertiles of numbers of POI, and 0.99 (0.96, 1.02) and 0.94 (0.92, 0.98) for second and third tertiles of numbers of transit station, respectively. Each unit increase in POI and transit stations were associated with a 3% [HR (95% CI): 0.97 (0.96, 0.99)] and 2% [HR (95% CI): 0.98 (0.97, 0.99)] reduced risk of natural-cause mortality, respectively. In addition, compared with living in areas with the first tertile of impedance, living with the third tertile of impedance was associated a higher risk of natural-cause mortality, with HRs (95%CI) of 1.01 (1.00, 1.03). One unit increase in impedance was associated with a 1% [HR (95% CI): 1.01 (1.00, 1.03)] increased risk of natural-cause mortality. We also found significantly inverse associations between three walkability measures with deaths from cardiovascular diseases, and between POI and death from chronic respiratory diseases.CONCLUSIONOur findings indicate that a higher level of neighborhood walkability was associated with a lower risk of mortality. Our data suggests it is important to take into account neighborhood walkability in urban planning and health guideline development. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15209.","PeriodicalId":11862,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Health Perspectives","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143893358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Household air pollution from burning solid fuels for cooking is a major burden in LMICs but studies demonstrating associations between reductions in household air pollution and improvements in HbA1c, a biomarker of diabetes risk, are lacking. We previously reported substantial reductions in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and black carbon concentrations following an intervention in rural Honduras with the Justa cookstove, a wood-burning stove with an engineered combustion chamber and chimney.OBJECTIVEIn a stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial among 230 Honduran women using traditional wood-burning stoves at baseline, we evaluated the effect of the Justa intervention on HbA1c and characterized the longitudinal associations between air pollution exposures and HbA1c.METHODSAt each of 6 visits over 3 years, we measured 24-hour PM2.5 and black carbon concentrations, and finger-stick HbA1c levels. We used linear mixed models in intent-to-treat (condition by assigned stove type), exposure-response (using 24-hour measures and modeled estimates of long-term exposures), and \"per protocol\" self-reported stove use analyses.RESULTSHbA1c was reduced for the Justa condition compared to the traditional stove condition, but estimates were small and not statistically significant (-0.03 percentage points, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.13, 0.07, n=1,208 observations). A slightly stronger effect was observed when using self-reported stove use in per protocol analyses.

The flame retardant PBB was accidentally mixed into animal feed and distributed to Michigan farms for nearly a year, exposing farm residents and animal product consumers.OBJECTIVEWe synthesize knowledge to date on health effects of PBB exposure within the Michigan PBB Registry, and describe research findings in the context of literature on other persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs).METHODSWe reviewed literature published from 1973-2025 on human health effects of PBB following the Michigan contamination using PubMed and Thompson Reuters (ISI) Web of Science databases. We excluded studies not in English; on exposures besides PBB; animal studies; reviews, abstracts, or letters to the editor; studies without a health outcome; and studies outside of Michigan or unrelated to the 1973 contamination. For each article, two researchers performed title and abstract screening, full article review, and data extraction.RESULTSWe included 79 publications out of 601 identified and screened. Early studies did not find many health outcomes associated with PBB, possibly because of methodological limitations. More recent studies on long-term and multigenerational impacts found an increased breast cancer risk, accelerated pubertal development and earlier menarche for girls exposed in utero, urogenital problems and slower pubertal development in boys exposed in utero, lower estrone 3-glucuronide and follicle-stimulating hormone among women exposed in childhood, and increased miscarriage risk among daughters of exposed women. Epigenetic and metabolomic research reported altered pathways related to estrogenic effects and immune function, and epigenetic alterations of spermatogenic cells.DISCUSSIONThis unique community-academic partnership has produced insights into multigenerational consequences of EDC/POP exposures across the lifecourse.

Air pollution is considered a risk factor for respiratory infection, but evidence of its association with SARS-CoV-2 BTIs is limited.OBJECTIVESWe aimed to examine the effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on disease outcomes, immune responses, and antibody dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 BTIs.METHODSWe gathered data on self-reported SARS-CoV-2 infections through questionnaires and measured IgG antibody levels using serological assays from a total of 6,875 participants from the Yichang COVID-19 Antibody Longitudinal Survey cohort in China. Air pollutant exposure (PM2.5, PM10, PM1, SO2, NO2, O3, and CO) was quantified using validated models for the past five years (2018 to 2022). Logistic and linear regression models were applied to analyze the associations between air pollutant levels and SARS-CoV-2 BTIs, Long COVID, COVID-19 hospitalization, and antibody responses. Quantile g-computation was used to assess the combined effects of pollutant mixtures. A linear mixed model was used to evaluate the effect of air pollution on antibody dynamics.RESULTSPer interquartile range (IQR) increase in PM2.5, SO2, NO2, and CO, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for SARS-CoV-2 BTIs were 1.65(95% CI: 1.30, 2.08), 1.30 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.50), 1.63 (95% CI: 1.20, 2.20), and 1.24 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.45). The ORs for PM2.5 were 1.78 (95% CI: 1.07, 3.02) and 2.02 (95% CI: 1.18, 3.54) for Long COVID and hospitalization. Per IQR increase in PM1 and NO2, IgG antibody percentages decreased by -2.31% (95% CI: -4.49%, -0.13%) and -2.69% (95% CI: -5.35%, -0.03%). Effects were stronger in older adults, those with comorbidities, and the under-vaccinated. The combined effect on SARS-CoV-2 BTIs was mainly driven by PM2.5 (59.4%), while the impact on IgG response was largely attributed to NO2 (63.7%). Exposure to the highest levels of PM2.5 (p = 0.002), PM1 (p < 0.001), and NO2 (p = 0.002) was associated with a faster IgG decline than the lowest.DISCUSSIONLong-term exposure to air pollution increases the risk of SARS-CoV-2 BTIs and disease severity while weakening the immune response, particularly for vulnerable populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15660.","PeriodicalId":11862,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Health Perspectives","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143876471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For each LPE, household survey exposed areas were matched 1:2 with unexposed areas based on water main size and material at the point of repair, as well as the housing type and demographic characteristics of the local population from the most recent census tract. Water samples were collected to monitor physicochemical and microbiological water quality parameters. Households (HHs) were surveyed about water use and illness during the 2 weeks after the LPE. Multivariable log-binomial models clustered on utility and LPE number were used to investigate associations between LPE exposure and HCGI and ARI.RESULTSFive water utilities reported 58 LPEs, including planned maintenance (76%) and emergency (24%) events. Controlling for livestock near home, private well presence, number of people in HH, and travel away from home, exposed HH were at higher risk of HCGI compared to unexposed HH (risk ratio =1.20; 95%CI: 1.05,1.37). No associations between LPE and ARI were detected. Certain LPEs characteristics like pipe material, size, and depth were associated with an increased HH HCGI risk.

Orthohantavirus puumalaense, hosted by bank voles in Europe, is the causative agent of a form of haemorrhagic fever and renal syndrome called nephropathia epidemica. Despite two decades of consistent presence in western Europe, nephropathia epidemica outbreaks still pose challenges due to localised periodic occurrences and a lack of understanding of its environmental drivers.OBJECTIVEOur study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the specific ecological and climatic factors influencing nephropathia epidemica outbreaks in western Europe.METHODSWe compiled monthly, serologically confirmed nephropathia epidemica case data obtained from public health authorities in Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands for the period 2004-2012. Cases were geo-referenced to the finest available administrative unit. We selected 28 covariates, including climatic variables, land cover, tree species distributions, and human population, and implemented a Bayesian spatio-temporal model using integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) with zero-inflated Poisson distribution, including fixed effects and spatial, temporal, and non-structured random effects.RESULTSWe identified key triggers for nephropathia epidemica outbreaks, particularly climate-mediated changes in all seasons up to two years before, favouring tree mast impacting bank vole abundance. Our findings revealed that while land cover factors mostly determine hotspots locations, climatic fluctuation patterns rather tend to modulate outbreak intensity.DISCUSSIONCrucially, our model allows for the generation of yearly maps showcasing nephropathia epidemica incidence and risk factors, aiding in public health preparedness against climate change-induced disease emergence.

Nine PFAS were measured by HPLC-tandem MS (perfluorodecanoic acid [PFDA], perfluorohexane sulfonic acid [PFHxS], perfluorononanoic acid [PFNA], perfluorooctanoic acid [PFOA], perfluorooctane sulfonic acid [PFOS], perfluorododecanoic acid [PFDoDA], perfluoroheptanoic acid [PFHpA], perfluorooctanesulfonamide [PFOSA], and perfluoroundecanoic acid [PFUnDA]. Surgeons diagnosed endometriosis by gold-standard visualization and evaluated the endometriosis staging as moderate and severe (stage 3-4) compared to minimal and mild (stage 1-2), using American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) classification. We used modified Poisson regression models adjusted for age (continuous), race (white, all other race/ethnicities), smoking status (serum cotinine > ng/mL), study site (Utah, California), and body mass index (continuous) to obtain relative risks (RR) of endometriosis diagnosis and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each PFAS. PFAS mixtures were evaluated using Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression.RESULTSParticipants were, on average, 33 ± 7 years old, and 75% of participants were non-Hispanic white. Of the 181 participants with an incident endometriosis diagnosis, 73% had ASRM stage 1-2, while 27% had stage 3-4. Median (IQR) eutopic endometrium tissue levels, in ng/g, were 6.58 (6.44) for PFOS, 1.93 (1.71) for PFOA, 0.65 (0.75) for PFHxS, 0.58 (0.52) for PFNA, 0.12 (0.18) for PFOSA. PFAS in the endometrial tissue was not associated with endometriosis. However, select PFAS in the eutopic tissue were associated with a risk of more advanced (stage 3 or 4 vs. 1 or 2) endometriosis [(PFOSA RR=1.25 (95% CI: 1.10-1.43), PFHxS RR=1.37 (95% CI: 1.12, 1.68), PFOS RR=1.36 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.81)].CONCLUSIONPFAS were widely detected in eutopic endometrial tissue. There was no evidence that PFAS in endometrial tissue were associated with a higher risk of endometriosis diagnosis. However, PFOS, PFOSA and PFHxS in the endometrial tissue were associated with risk of more severe stage of endometriosis. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15852.","PeriodicalId":11862,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Health Perspectives","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
