Examining Lead Exposures in California through State-Issued Health Alerts for Food Contamination and an Exposure-Based Candy Testing Program
Conclusions
Based on these observations, lead-contaminated candies represent an important contribution to lead exposures in California. The fact that a large number of unique products were identified among the contaminated candies presents an ongoing challenge for exposure-based testing programs, as does the large number of candies tested for which no lead was detected. After legislation was passed requiring more widespread testing of candies for lead, many imported candies were identified as containing lead, suggesting that imported candy might be considered a public health risk for lead poisoning in California. However, ...

Online Serum PFOA Calculator for Adults
Conclusions
Pharmacokinetic models are useful for understanding the relationship between exposure and measured biomarkers and are increasingly being applied in environmental health research and regulation. However, these models are complex enough to be a potential barrier for some researchers, exposed individuals, and other stakeholders. Online calculators using appropriate literature-based default parameters can facilitate research translation for such models.
Acknowledgments
The author thanks J. Wagner of the Bucks County Courier Times for asking thoughtful questions that inspired the calculator.

Variation in DNA-Damage Responses to an Inhalational Carcinogen (1,3-Butadiene) in Relation to Strain-Specific Differences in Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Transcription Profiles in C57BL/6J and CAST/EiJ Mice
Conclusions:
These results suggest that strain-specific changes in chromatin and transcription in response to chemical exposure lead to a “compensation” for underlying genetic-driven interindividual differences in the baseline chromatin and transcriptional state. This work represents an example of how chemical and environmental exposures can be evaluated to better understand gene-by-environment interactions, and it demonstrates the important role of chromatin response in transcriptomic changes and, potentially, in deleterious effects of exposure. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1937

Small-Scale Food Animal Production and Antimicrobial Resistance: Mountain, Molehill, or Something in-between?
Conclusion
Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health threat that is linked to antimicrobial use in both clinical and community settings (Finley et al. 2013). The attributable fraction of AMR due to antimicrobial use within agricultural systems is unknown, and within that, how much is due to small-scale food animal production is even less clear. Small-scale food animal production is an important livelihood that has the potential to improve the economy of households and communities (Gates 2016). Given their importance and the potential growth of this livelihood, there is a critical need to better understand the fract...
