Allergy, asthma and the environment: an introduction.

Abstract:

:In Europe and the USA the prevalence of certain forms of allergic disease is rising; an increase that can not be reconciled simply on the basis of changes in diagnostic fashion. The changes observed have been too rapid to be explained by alterations in the gene pool and, as a consequence, there has been a growing interest in the possible associations between environmental factors, allergic disease and asthma. Among the environmental influences that have been implicated in modifying the development of respiratory allergy and asthma are the conditions of exposure to allergens themselves, indoor air quality, outdoor air pollution, tobacco smoking, diet and infectious disease. The contributions of some of these factors, acting alone or in concert, to the development of allergic disease are considered.

  • Renal, hepatic, pulmonary and adrenal tumors induced by prenatal inorganic arsenic followed by dimethylarsinic acid in adulthood in CD1 mice.

    abstract::Inorganic arsenic, an early life carcinogen in humans and mice, can initiate lesions promotable by other agents in later life. The biomethylation product of arsenic, dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), is a multi-site tumor promoter. Thus, pregnant CD1 mice were given drinking water (0 ppm or 85 ppm arsenic) from gestation da...
