Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and measures of thyroid function in second trimester pregnant women in CaliforniaAmi R Zota
Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment, University of California, San Francisco, Oakland, California 94612, USA
Environ Sci Technol 45:7896-905. 2011..Our results indicate that PBDE exposures are elevated in pregnant women in California and suggest a relationship with thyroid function. Further investigation is warranted to characterize the risks of PBDE exposures during pregnancy...

Silent Spring Institute, 29 Crafts Street, Newton, MA 02458, USA
Environ Health 9:40. 2010..This population-based case-control study investigated whether use of household cleaners and pesticides increases breast cancer risk...
Impact of mine waste on airborne respirable particulates in northeastern Oklahoma, United StatesAmi R Zota
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA
J Air Waste Manag Assoc 59:1347-57. 2009..5 fraction. In conclusion, the differential impacts of mine waste on respirable particles by size fraction and location should be considered in future exposure evaluations...
Metal sources and exposures in the homes of young children living near a mining-impacted Superfund siteAmi R Zota
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 21:495-505. 2011..These findings suggest that nearby outdoor sources of metal contaminants from mine waste may migrate indoors. Populations farther away from the mining site may also be exposed if secondary uses of chat are in close proximity to the home...
Maternal blood manganese levels and infant birth weightAmi R Zota
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA
Epidemiology 20:367-73. 2009..High manganese exposures have been associated with negative reproductive outcomes in animals, but few epidemiologic studies have examined the effects of human fetal manganese exposure...

Department of Environmental Health Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02215, USA
Am J Public Health 101:S238-45. 2011..To inform strategies to reduce disparities, we developed a framework to identify the individual and place-based drivers of indoor environment quality...
Elevated house dust and serum concentrations of PBDEs in California: unintended consequences of furniture flammability standards?Ami R Zota
Silent Spring Institute, Newton, MA, USA
Environ Sci Technol 42:8158-64. 2008..0 vs 38.5 (p = 0.002)]. Elevated PBDE exposures in California may result from the state's furniture flammability standards; our results suggest the need for further research in a larger representative sample...
Maternal arsenic exposure and impaired glucose tolerance during pregnancyAdrienne S Ettinger
Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA
Environ Health Perspect 117:1059-64. 2009..Accumulating evidence has shown an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in general populations exposed to arsenic, but little is known about exposures during pregnancy and the association with gestational diabetes (GD)...
