  • Looking at all the studies together reveals a remarkably consistent picture of human exposure to BPA with implications for how the risk of human exposure is interpreted," said Teeguarden. (sciencedaily.com)
  • These 130 studies are significant as a group because they refer to the exposures as "low dose," implying they are very relevant to human exposures. (sciencedaily.com)
  • In addition, only a small fraction of the exposures in these self-described "low dose" studies are in the range of human exposures, from 0.8 percent to 7 percent depending on the study. (sciencedaily.com)
  • The term low-dose cannot be understood to mean either relevant to human exposures or in the range of human exposures. (sciencedaily.com)
  • In this analysis, Teeguarden compiled all the BPA studies that included the term "low dose" as it referred to human exposure by using such terms as "low-concentration," "environmentally relevant," or "human exposure. (sciencedaily.com)
  • The uptake creates a completed exposure pathway. (cdc.gov)
  • The researchers were also able to predict a child's past exposure to drugs based on brain images and IQ information. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Industry subcategories with the highest prevalences of SHS exposure, and the industry category with the highest number of exposed workers (construction), include outdoor workplaces and other settings unlikely to be protected by smoke-free laws. (cdc.gov)
