Multiple exposure pathways and health risk assessment of potentially harmful elements for children and adults living in a coal region in Brazil

Paula Florencio Ramires et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess and spatialize the health risk of potentially hazardous elements (PHEs) in the soil of the largest coal mining region of Brazil, Candiota, for children and adults. The results showed that Mn and Fe were the metals with the greatest contribution to human health risk. The use of HHRA associated with GIS tools provides important information for decision-making in the management of contaminated sites.

Epidemiological evidence for the effect of environmental heavy metal exposure on the immune system in children

Keyang Zheng et al.

Summary: Heavy metals pose a serious public health problem due to their wide presence in daily life and contamination of the environment. Children are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of heavy metal exposure on immune function compared to adults. This review summarizes epidemiological studies on the impact of heavy metal exposure on childhood immune function, focusing on the effects of six heavy metals on different components of the immune system. The review finds that heavy metal exposure, particularly to lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, impairs immune responses in children and increases the risk of immune-related diseases.

Pollution characteristics and health risks of heavy metals in road dust in Ma'anshan, China

Ya Liu et al.

Summary: Road dust is a constant threat to people's health as it contains various heavy metals that become airborne due to wind and external forces. Heavy metals pollution was calculated in four different areas, with industrial heavy traffic area (IHT) showing the highest pollution degree, followed by non-industrial heavy traffic area (HT), urban area (UA), and study recreation area (SR). The concentrations of Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in the road dust exceeded local soil background values, with Cu coming from traffic emissions and Pb, Cd, and Zn mainly from industrial emissions. Cr and Ni primarily originated from industrial emissions and soil re-suspension. The non-carcinogenic risk of heavy metals, especially Cr, Cd, and Pb, to children is a matter of concern, and urgent actions are needed to reduce Cd pollution based on the findings of enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index.

Prenatal inflammation exposure-programmed hypertension exhibits multi-generational inheritance via disrupting DNA methylome

Xiao Guan et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that prenatal inflammatory exposure leads to multi-generational inheritance of hypertension in rat descendants, causing vascular remodeling and vasoconstrictor dysfunction. Furthermore, prenatal inflammatory exposure also results in global alteration of DNA methylome in the thoracic aorta of rat descendants.

Infant immunity against viral infections is advanced by the placenta-dependent vertical transfer of maternal antibodies

Marie Albrecht et al.

Summary: Neonatal passive immunity, derived from the transplacental transfer of IgG antibodies from mother to fetus during pregnancy, can reduce the risk of severe infections in the early postnatal period. Factors such as placental function and IgG levels in mothers play a crucial role in this process. Higher levels of anti-influenza A IgG in cord blood are associated with a reduced risk of respiratory tract infections in infants. Vaccination of pregnant women against influenza can increase neonatal antibody levels and protect against early life respiratory infections.

Pb and Cd exposure linked with Il-10 and Il-13 gene polymorphisms in asthma risk relevant immunomodulation in children

Zhijun Zeng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects and interaction between Pb, Cd exposure from e-waste and interleukin gene polymorphisms on interleukin expressions in children. The results suggest that high blood Pb and urine Cd levels are associated with low IL-13 and IL-10 levels, and the interaction between Pb exposure and Il-13 gene polymorphisms negatively regulates IL-13 expression. This may pose a risk to abnormal asthma-relevant immunomodulation in preschool children.

Summary: Exposure to barium was found to be associated with elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) in children and adolescents, while being negatively associated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Inflammation may play an important role in the association between barium exposure and SBP.

Summary: The study found that decreased monocyte count throughout pregnancy was closely associated with the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and the chronic inflammatory state of GDM. First-trimester monocyte count performed better as a risk factor and diagnostic predictor of GDM and macrosomia compared to second and third trimester counts.

Maternal immune activation leads to defective brain-blood vessels and intracerebral hemorrhages in male offspring

Marco Rasile et al.

Summary: This study reports that exposure of pregnant mice to an immunostimulant called Poly I:C during early fetal development can lead to abnormal brain vessels and intracerebral hemorrhages in the offspring, specifically in males. The researchers found that this prenatal infection model induces the production of TGF-beta 1, which alters the expression of certain proteins in brain endothelial cells and leads to low pericyte coverage, increasing the risk of hemorrhagic events in adult offspring. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for understanding the association between intragravidic infections and anomalies of the neural vasculature, which may contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders.

Maternal childhood adversity and inflammation during pregnancy: Interactions with diet quality and depressive symptoms

Clare McCormack et al.

Summary: Inflammatory processes may be a mechanism through which early adversity is biologically embedded and leads to poorer health outcomes, with pregnancy being a pathway for intergenerational transmission of adversity. Research indicates that factors such as mood, diet, BMI, and social support may moderate the association between childhood trauma history and inflammation in adulthood, with limited studies examining these associations among pregnant women.

Selected Metal Concentration in Maternal and Cord Blood

Karolina Kot et al.

Summary: The study of maternal and cord blood concentrations of various elements showed similarities in calcium, lead, and strontium levels, with higher levels of iron and potassium in cord blood. Copper, sodium, and zinc concentrations were lower in cord︿ likely due to limited transplacental transfer. High associations were found between copper levels in cord blood and newborn anthropometric parameters. Overall, the study suggests that the values obtained are within normal range for healthy pregnant women in Poland.
