DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2017.04.019
Abstract: Background: Leukaemia remains the most common type of paediatric cancer and its aetiology remains unknown, but considered to be multifactorial. It is suggested that the initiation in utero by relevant exposures and/or inherited genetic variants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/bjh.19747
Abstract: Paediatric leukaemia has a long tail of driver mutations each of which must be ‘backtracked’ to samples taken at birth to identify the prenatal origin of a subtype. Presently, Bardini et al. describe the first… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/oemed-2019-105706
Abstract: Objectives Previously published studies on parental occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) and risk of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in their offspring were inconsistent. We therefore evaluated this… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19095232
Abstract: Background: Blue spaces have been a key part of human evolution, providing resources and helping economies develop. To date, no studies have been carried out to explore how they may be linked to paediatric oncological… read more here.

Exploring Urban Green Spaces’ Effect against Traffic Exposure on Childhood Leukaemia Incidence
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"
DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20032506
Abstract: Background: Several environmental factors seem to be involved in childhood leukaemia incidence. Traffic exposure could increase the risk while urban green spaces (UGS) exposure could reduce it. However, there is no evidence how these two… read more here.
