Testicular Cancer: NewsfeedBrowse CHE's Portal to Science, preselected for cancer resources. 30 Apr Glowing fish reveal secrets of pollution. What's black and white but green all over? A genetically engineered zebrafish that's helping scientists figure out how endocrine-disrupting pollutants damage the body. 28 Apr Chemicals in personal care products can cause genital malformation. A foreign expert on the effects of toxic chemicals on biological organisms recently warned of industrial chemicals that are present in common products that may cause reduced sperm production, undescended testicles and early menopause. 25 Apr C8 study gives local numbers on cancers. The rate of occurrence for one of two cancers with a "probable link" to the chemical known as C8 exceeds the state average and other counties in the state in Washington County, according to figures from the Ohio Department of Health. 24 Apr Fish glow green to track pollutants inside the body. A genetically-engineered fish that glows green from the inside out is helping illuminate what pollutants such as endocrine disrupting chemicals do inside the body. 24 Apr Green glowing zebra fish provides fresh insights into hazardous health effects of pollution. A genetically altered zebra fish containing an estrogen inducible promoter has enabled researchers to find the hazardous health effects of environmental chemicals in the body. 18 Apr Study finds link between 3M-made chemical and cancer. A chemical made by the 3M Co. found in drinking water is "more probably than not" linked to cancer of the testicles and the kidneys, according to a panel of scientists . 18 Apr West Virginia contaminant study similar to Twin Cities concern. A study from West Virginia links two types of cancer to exposure to a chemical similar to that also found in some east Twin Cities metro area wells. 17 Apr Special panel links C8 to kidney, testicular cancer. A team of experts revealed Monday that it has found a "probable link" between C8 and human cancers, rebuffing DuPont Co.'s longstanding contention that exposure to the chemical is harmless. 17 Apr C8 Science Panel links C8 to testicular, kidney cancer. An independent panel of three epidemiologists have concluded that exposure to the manufacturing substance known as C8 or PFOA is linked to two types of cancer in Mid Ohio Valley residents. 17 Apr Probable link between Teflon chemical and cancer. Mid-Ohio Valley residents who settled a lawsuit will be eligible for medical monitoring programs after a science panel concluded a probable link exists between exposure to PFOA, a chemical used by a DuPont plant in West Virginia and testicular and kidney cancers, attorneys for the residents said Monday. 17 Apr C8 Panel: Probable link to two cancers found. The C8 Science Panel announced it found a probable link between exposure to C8 and both testicular and kidney cancer. The panel was unable to find any link between exposure to ammonium perfluorooctanoate, also known as PFOA or C8, and 19 other cancers. 10 Apr General Assembly passes spending, stormwater bills. Bills to control septic systems and create a local stormwater fee passed the Maryland General Assembly on the tumultuous final day of the legislative session. 8 Apr Legislature should ban PBDEs: Concentration in the North creates risks. It seems like this one is a slam dunk. The Legislature has before it well thought-out legislation that will immediately reduce our exposure to a group of chemicals that poses some level of risk to our health without an associated demonstrable benefit. 15 Mar Pill that left a generation blighted by cancer. DES was prescribed to pregnant women in the UK from the 1950s to the 1970s in the mistaken belief that it prevented miscarriage. Instead, it left behind a hidden legacy of damage to the fetus. A leading American compensation lawyer has announced that he plans to coordinate a UK-wide hunt for ?DES daughters? to launch a class-action claim. |
