Benchmark Risk Group reposted this
This past May, I had the pleasure of attending AIHA Connect 2024 in Columbus, OH. On behalf of Benchmark Risk Group, I presented a poster on a systematic review of the epidemiology of hair relaxer use and hormone-sensitive, reproductive outcomes in adult women. It was great seeing former classmates and professors, as well as connecting with other professionals within the field of exposure science. I look forward to attending AIHA Connect in the future!

Benchmark Risk Group's Dr. Ben Roberts, PhD, CIH just published "A screening-level human health risk assessment of dietary intake of pesticide residues in produce as compared to consumer guide recommendations" in Critical Reviews in Toxicology. The paper applies risk assessment techniques to reported data on pesticide content of a range of fruits and vegetables, using a uniform screening-level approach to estimate pesticide exposures for U.S. consumers and to characterize the associated chronic human health risks. Ping Ben with any questions at [email protected]. https://lnkd.in/gPNeWDxp #riskassessment #pesticides #dirtydozen
Guides that are intended to help consumers reduce exposures to potentially toxic pesticides may incorporate some hazard assessment principles but do not always reflect a more comprehensive dietary risk assessment. One notable example is the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” list of 12 popular fruits and vegetables reported to have the greatest pesticide contamination. In a recently published paper, our scientists applied standard risk assessment techniques to this list using a uniform screening-level approach. Learn more about the estimated pesticide exposures and associated chronic human health risks for U.S. consumers of select produce: https://lnkd.in/gPNeWDxp

New paper alert! Our group recently published a peer-reviewed paper titled "A review of the mesotheliogenic potency of cleavage fragments found in talc" in the journal Toxicology and Industrial Health. In the paper, we reviewed the current state of the science regarding the factors influencing mesotheliogenic potency of cleavage fragments, with emphasis on those that may co-occur in talc deposits, including dimensional and structural characteristics, animal toxicology, and the most well-studied cohort exposed to talc-associated cleavage fragments. Based on our review, multiple lines of scientific evidence demonstrate that inhaled cleavage fragments associated with talc do not pose a mesothelioma hazard. https://lnkd.in/gg6Gc86g For more information, reach out to lead author Eric Miller at [email protected]. The author team also includes Evan Beckett, MPH, CIH, Drew Cheatham, MS, Chris Comerford, Dr. Ryan Lewis, MS, PhD, CIH, Callan Krevanko, Neha Mandava, and Dr. Jennifer Pierce. #talc #riskassessment
