HEALS (Health and Environmet-wide Associations based on Large population Surveys) has recently launched the 7th issue of the HEALS newsletter. This issue is about: an article that reveals the risks of prenatal exposures to bisphenol A and the dynamics of metabolic reactivation, using a PBPK modeling at pregnancy; the funciton of an open platform elaborated by HEALS; the numerous documents and data files currently available in this online platform designed for external training; a paper on the human exposure to organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides, specifically in occupationally-exposed and general populations living in rural and urban areas.
