The goal is to collect data which will offer a foundation to uncover key pathways and mechanisms linked to exposure-induced changes that may represent novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, ultimately supporting the development of much-needed treatment options for...
Women exposed to PFAS may experience menopause two years earlier than other women, according to a new University of Michigan study published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
High levels of cadmium, a chemical found in cigarettes and in contaminated vegetables, are associated with higher death rates in patients with influenza or pneumonia—and may increase the severity of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses, according to a new...
The proposed research plan has three goals: (1) increasing our understanding of the relationship between environmental factors and the health and academic performance of students, teachers and staff; (2) evaluating the use and effectiveness of indoor environmental...
The proposed Community Action to Promote Healthy Environments (CA-PHE) builds on, and substantially extends, over 15 years of community-based participatory research by the involved partners to understand and address issues of air pollution and health in Detroit....
This is the first competing renewal application for the Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Core Center at the University of Michigan, submitted in the final year of the initial four years of NIEHS support. The Center is organized around the theme of critical windows...

Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is widespread and these compounds can persist in the environment and the human body over decades. The population is aging, and women, in particular, can experience significant morbidity and diminished quality of life...
A growing body of evidence suggests that environmental pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), bisphenol-A, phthalates and arsenic, may play an important role in the pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and metabolic syndrome...
While exposure to high ambient temperature (i.e., heat) has long been recognized as a threat to public health, the burden of illness and death attributable to heat in the US remains high. In an effort to reduce heat- related mortality and morbidity, the US National...
