Development and evaluation of a personal particulate organic and mass sampler (Publications)
Accurate measurement of personal exposure to particulate matter and its constituents requires samplers that are accurate, compact, lightweight, inexpensive, and convenient to use. The personal particu
Size-resolved emissions of organic tracers from light- and heavy-duty vehicles measured in a California roadway tunnel (Publications)
Individual organic compounds found in particulate emissions from vehicles have proven useful in source apportionment of ambient particulate matter. Species of interest include the hopanes, originating
Leishmanicidal cycloartane-type triterpene glycosides from <em>Astragalus oleifolius</em> (Publications)
Two new cycloartane-type glycosides oleifoliosides A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the lower stem parts of Astragalus oleifolius. Their structures were identified as 3-O-[beta-xylopyranosyl-(1 -->
Air pollution during pregnancy and neonatal outcome: a review (Publications)
Abstract There is increasing evidence of the adverse impact of prenatal exposure to air pollution. This is of particular interest, as exposure during pregnancy-a crucial time span of important biologi
Absence of the glutathione S-transferase M1 gene increases cytochrome P4501A2 activity among frequent consumers of cruciferous vegetables in a... (Publications)
The cancer protective effect of cruciferous vegetables has been attributed to induction of phase II enzymes. But cruciferous vegetables also induce cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2), which catalyzes the met
