ILSA 2017 in Tromsø : proceedings from the 42nd annual conference of the International Lung Sound Association

Maternal concentrations, predictors and change in profiles of organochlorines, toxic and essential elements during pregnancy and postpartum : the Vietnamese mother-and-child study and the Northern Norwegian mother-and-child study
