High impact information on Environmental Medicine

• OBJECTIVE: Persistent perennial allergic rhinitis belongs to the most frequent diseases in occupational and environmental medicine [1].
• Hemoglobin adducts of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, acrylonitrile and acrylamide-biomarkers in occupational and environmental medicine [2].
• Measuring olfactory dysfunction from cadmium in an occupational and environmental medicine office practice [3].
• The Environmental Medicine Curriculum Committee (EMCC) initiative described in Part I and Part II of this study has developed this patient-centered model to help the resident in training cope as he or she tries to deal with emerging patient concerns from the workplace and beyond [4].
• The elimination of antipyrine is a good indicator for general evaluation of the liver function for dispositional purposes for example in occupational and environmental medicine [5].

Biological context of Environmental Medicine

Associations of Environmental Medicine with chemical compounds

• BACKGROUND: The Institute of Medicine has recommended basic clinical competence in environmental medicine (EM) for all physicians [6].
• It is concluded that 1- and 2-naphthol levels in urine are suitable for human biomonitoring of the naphthalene exposure in environmental medicine [7].
• For aluminium in blood or urine no reference values were derived and the use of human biomonitoring to estimate aluminium exposure in environmental medicine is not recommended [8].

Gene context of Environmental Medicine
