Pollution and Epigenetics

About this collection

From diesel particulates to endocrine disruptors, asbestos, heavy metals to molecules like bisphenol A (BPA), it is becoming increasingly clear that man’s propensity to pollute has significant consequences on human health. Moreover, strong evidence now links such pollution to changes within our epigenomes. In this new thematic series in Clinical Epigenetics, we explore the causes and consequences of pollution on the epigenome, how this may have effects not only on the epigenetics of the individual exposed to such pollution, but also review how this may be further exacerbated by downstream or “transgenerational” inheritance of these epigenetic changes.
