Open AccessTransport and deposition of ocean-sourced microplastic particles by a North Atlantic hurricane
The atmosphere can transport large quantities of microplastics and disperse them throughout the globe to locations inaccessible by many other transport mechanisms. Meteorological events have been proven to pic...

Open AccessThe association of age at menarche and adult height with mammographic density in the International Consortium of Mammographic Density
Early age at menarche and tall stature are associated with increased breast cancer risk. We examined whether these associations were also positively associated with mammographic density, a strong marker of bre...

Microplastics and nanoplastics in the marine-atmosphere environment
The discovery of atmospheric micro(nano)plastic transport and ocean–atmosphere exchange points to a highly complex marine plastic cycle, with negative implications for human and ecosystem health. Yet, observat...

Open AccessImpact of type of full-field digital image on mammographic density assessment and breast cancer risk estimation: a case-control study
Full-field digital mammography, which is gradually being introduced in most clinical and screening settings, produces two types of images: raw and processed. However, the extent to which mammographic density m...
