Eight hallmarks of environmental exposures that contribute to disease
A new review of existing evidence proposes eight hallmarks of environmental exposures that chart the biological pathways through which pollutants contribute to disease: oxidative stress and inflammation, genomic alterations and mutations, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, endocrine disruption, altered intercellular communication, altered microbiome communities, and impaired nervous system function.
The study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, Ludwig Maximilian University, and Hasselt University is published in the journal
Cell.
Every day we learn more about how exposure to pollutants in air, water, soil, and food is harmful to human health. Less understood, however, are the specific biological pathways through which these chemicals inflict damage on our bodies. In this paper, we provide a framework to understand why complex mixtures of environmental exposure

On the 8th of January 1740, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) ship
Rooswijk weighed anchor and left harbour on the Dutch island of Texel, carrying a varied cargo that included large quantities of silver coins and bullion intended for trade. This marked the start of what would have been an arduous 9-12-month long journey to Batavia, the then capital of the former Dutch East Indies (now Jakarta, Indonesia). However, by the next day
Rooswijk had been driven onto the Goodwin Sands off the coast of Kent and subsequently broke up – sinking with no survivors. Passing into obscurity, it was not until 2005 that the ship was re-discovered following a search by recreational diver Ken Welling.
