Transportation noise and risk for colorectal cancer: a nationwide study covering Denmark
Few studies have suggested that traffic noise is a risk factor for cancer, but evidence is inconclusive. We aimed to investigate whether road traffic and railway noise are associated with risk of colorectal ca...

Article
Transportation noise pollution and cardiovascular disease
Epidemiological studies have found that transportation noise increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with high-quality evidence for ischaemic heart disease. According to the WHO, ≥1.6 mil...

Long-term residential exposure to air pollution and Hodgkin lymphoma risk among adults in Denmark: a population-based case–control study
The etiology of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is obscure. Research on air pollution and risk of HL provides inconsistent results. We aimed to investigate the association between long-term residential exposure to air p...

Open AccessSocioeconomic differences in the risk of childhood central nervous system tumors in Denmark: a nationwide register-based case–control study
Differences in the risk of childhood central nervous system (CNS) tumors by socioeconomic status (SES) may enhance etiologic insights. We conducted a nationwide register-based case–control study to evaluate so...

Open AccessA flavin-dependent monooxygenase catalyzes the initial step in cyanogenic glycoside synthesis in ferns
Cyanogenic glycosides form part of a binary plant defense system that, upon catabolism, detonates a toxic hydrogen cyanide bomb. In seed plants, the initial step of cyanogenic glycoside biosynthesis—the conver...

Open AccessIntracranial tumors of the central nervous system and air pollution – a nationwide case-control study from Denmark
Inconclusive evidence has suggested a possible link between air pollution and central nervous system (CNS) tumors. We investigated a range of air pollutants in relation to types of CNS tumors.

Residential traffic noise and mammographic breast density in the Diet, Cancer, and Health cohort
Traffic is the most important source of community noise, and it has been proposed to be associated with a range of disease outcomes, including breast cancer. As mammographic breast density (MD) is one of the s...

Article
Modeled traffic noise at the residence and colorectal cancer incidence: a cohort study
Traffic noise has become an increasing public health concern, associated with pervasive negative health effects, most likely through pathways of sleep disruption and stress. Both sleep disruption and stress ha...

Article
Air pollution from traffic and risk for brain tumors: a nationwide study in Denmark
Air pollution is an established lung carcinogen, and there is increasing evidence that air pollution also negatively affects the brain. We have previously reported an association between air pollution and ris...

Open AccessDietary cadmium intake and risk of prostate cancer: a Danish prospective cohort study
Cadmium is classified as a human lung carcinogen based on evidence from high-exposure occupational settings. Though cadmium has no physiological role, increasing evidence suggests cadmium may mimic steroid hor...

Article
Open AccessTraffic air pollution and mortality from cardiovascular disease and all causes: a Danish cohort study
Traffic air pollution has been linked to cardiovascular mortality, which might be due to co-exposure to road traffic noise. Further, personal and lifestyle characteristics might modify any association.
