The ready access to blood (plasma and formed cellular elements) makes it unusually susceptible to the deleterious effects of pollutants whose origins may be in the air. The red blood cells' hemoglobin may be rendered useless for oxygen transport by combination with carbon monoxide or conversion to methemoglobin or sulfhemoglobin. Lead and arsine can damage the erythrocytes' membranes, resulting in anemia. Metabolites of benzene and other volatile polycyclic hydrocarbons are implicated in the causation of leukemias. The extensive use of pesticides and herbicides may be associated with the development of Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and aplastic anemia. The carcinogenic risks from ionizing radiation, especially for leukemia, are well known. More information is needed concerning the epidemiology of environmental factors responsible for damage to blood. Enhanced knowledge about the molecular biology of toxins' effects on the hematopoietic system and improved detection and prevention technologies are needed to answer environmentally related health questions.

Radioimmunotherapy with radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibodies is a promising new treatment approach for low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, the administration of radiolabeled antibodies presents some added complexity. At the University of Nebraska Medical Center (Omaha, NE), an institutional model has been developed that ensures the efficient and safe delivery of tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab (Bexxar; Corixa Corp, South San Francisco, CA and GlaxoSmithKline, Philadelphia, PA). An integrated, multidisciplinary treatment team is responsible for managing all aspects of treatment. Using this model, it is possible to administer tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab safely and effectively in the outpatient setting. Patients can usually be released immediately after treatment. Guidelines and instructions for patient release have been developed and validated and are provided herein. These instructions ensure that radiation exposure of family members and caregivers who are exposed to the patient is maintained as low as reasonably achievable and well within regulatory limits.

Julie M Vose speaks to Gemma Westcott, Commissioning Editor: Julie M Vose, is the Neumann M and Mildred E Harris Professor and Chief in the Division of Oncology/Hematology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha (NE, USA). She received her medical degree, completed her residency in Internal Medicine, served as Chief Resident and completed a Fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. She also completed a sabbatical at Stanford University (CA, USA) and an MBA in Health Administration through the University of Colorado Business School (CO, USA). She has focused her career on translational research for improvement in the therapy of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma by developing a focused translational research program, evaluating novel therapies such as radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, idiotype vaccine therapies, pathway-directed agents and stem cell transplantation. She has been recognized for her NHL research on a national and international level through research awards and invited lectureships worldwide. In addition, her funding record and publications in NHL therapy and transplantation research have added substantially to the research and knowledge base for the therapy of lymphoma. She is currently the 2015-2016 President of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
