Zuckerman (Ed.), Modern environments and human health : revisiting the second epidemiological transition (279-300). WileyMan-made toxin exposure is one of the defining characteristics of the second epidemiological transition. Our analysis of previous data shows that lead levels in tooth enamel above 0.87 ppm are characteristic of exposure to anthropogenic lead. In Brit...

PLoS ONE, 9(2), Article e87436. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0087436Human and animal diet reconstruction studies that rely on tissue chemical signatures aim at providing estimates on the relative intake of potential food groups. However, several sources of uncertainty need to be considered when handling data. Bayesia...
