Environmental chemical exposures and human epigenetics.

International journal of epidemiology - 1 Feb 2012

Hou Lifang, Zhang Xiao, Wang Dong, Baccarelli Andrea

Abstract excerpt

Every year more than 13 million deaths worldwide are due to environmental pollutants, and approximately 24% of diseases are caused by environmental exposures that might be averted through preventive measures. Rapidly growing evidence has linked environmental pollutants with epigenetic variations, including changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications and microRNAs. Environ mental chemicals and epigenetic...
