PROTECT Study finds that among metals, maternal blood lead concentrations were strongly associated with increased risk of preterm birth

by Manga Lakshmi Phani Srinija | Apr 22, 2021 | Publications

PROTECT explores how environmental exposures during pregnancy may impact preterm birth risk, specifically studying a Puerto Rican cohort due to higher levels of preterm birth compared to the U.S. mainland. In this instance, pregnant women in this cohort had relatively...

PROTECT Study Exposes How Severe Hurricanes Can Lead to Adverse Birth Outcomes

by Manga Lakshmi Phani Srinija | Apr 22, 2021 | Publications

In a recent study published in Population and Environment, PROTECT researchers found that women in Northern Puerto Rico who were pregnant during Hurricane Maria were exposed to higher levels of phthalates, chemicals shown to be related to preterm birth, after Maria...

PROTECT Study Uses Computational Modeling of Bubbles to Improve Electrochemical Removal of Chemical Pollutants in Water

by Manga Lakshmi Phani Srinija | Apr 16, 2021 | Publications, Students

A recent Project 4 study reveals efficient ways of exploiting the generated hydrogen and oxygen bubbles by electrochemical methods to enhance the removal of contaminants from water. Access to clean water is a global challenge. One method for cleaning contaminated...

Elevated Levels of Triclocarban Associated with Soap Use in Puerto Rico

by Manga Lakshmi Phani Srinija | Oct 22, 2018 | Publications

Recent analysis from the CRECE Center, which draws on the PROTECT cohort to study the effects of in-utero exposure on child development, reveals strong correlations between the use of specific bar soap brands and urinary triclocarban levels. Triclocarban has...

PROTECT Investigators Improve Electrochemical Production of Hydrogen Peroxide for Groundwater Treatment

by Manga Lakshmi Phani Srinija | May 17, 2018 | Publications, Students

A recent study conducted by PROTECT’s Project 5 developed a cost-effective and simple approach to improving the electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is crucial for the treatment of contaminated groundwater. The study, published...
