Sleep apnea and pesticide exposure in a study of US farmers
SLEEP HEALTH, 4(1), 20–26.
author keywords: Pesticides; Sleep apnea; Carbofuran; Carbamates; Sleep disorder breathing; Agriculture
MeSH headings : Carbofuran / adverse effects; Case-Control Studies; Farmers / statistics & numerical data; Humans; Male; Occupational Exposure / adverse effects; Pesticides / toxicity; Prospective Studies; Sleep Apnea Syndromes / chemically induced; Surveys and Questionnaires; United States / epidemiology
TL;DR:
The results in a male agricultural population suggests that exposure to carbofuran is positively associated with sleep apnea, a pesticide canceled in the United States in 2009 for most agricultural purposes but persists in the environment and remains in use in some other countries.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH, 15(2).
Contributors: W. Tsai n, M. McHale *, V. Jennings *, O. Marquet n, J. Hipp n, Y. Leung n , M. Floyd n
author keywords: green land cover; urban forests; urbanization; landscape
MeSH headings : Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; Cross-Sectional Studies; Environment; Health Status; Humans; Logistic Models; Mental Disorders / epidemiology; Mental Disorders / etiology; Mental Health; Risk Factors; United States / epidemiology; Urbanization

Periphyton and abiotic factors influencing arsenic speciation in aquatic environments
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY, 37(3), 903–913.
author keywords: Abiotic transformation; Aquatic plants; Bioconcentration; Biotransformation; Metal speciation; Arsenic
MeSH headings : Aerobiosis; Animals; Arsenic / analysis; Ephemeroptera / physiology; Larva / physiology; Periphyton; Solutions; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis; X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy
TL;DR:
Periphyton plays several roles in As environmental behavior: 1) decreasing total dissolved As concentrations via abiotic and biotic accumulation, 2) rapidly oxidizing As(III) to As(V), 3) effluxing organo-As forms into solution, and 4) limiting trophic transfer to aquatic grazers.
