The impacts of emission trends of POPs on human concentration dynamics: Lessons learned from a longitudinal study in Norway (1979-2007)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-20)
Background. In this short communication, our focus is on the relationship between human concentrations of select persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and environmental emissions. It is based on a longitudinal study (1979-2007) conducted in Norway.
Objectives. Our aim was to extract general insights from observed and predicted temporal trends in human concentrations of 49 POPs to assist in the design ...
Persistent Organic Pollutants and the Association with Maternal and Infant Thyroid Homeostasis: A Multipollutant Assessment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01)
Background:<br>Disruption of thyroid homeostasis has been indicated in human studies targeting
effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Influence on the maternal thyroid system by POPs
is of special interest during pregnancy because such effects could impair infant thyroid homeostasis.<br>
Objectives:<br>We investigated the association between POPs and thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH) ...
Assessing the relationship between perfluoroalkyl substances, thyroid hormones and binding proteins in pregnant women; a longitudinal mixed effects approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04)
<p>The mechanisms involved in thyroid homeostasis are complex, and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been indicated to interfere at several levels in this endocrine system. Disruption of the maternal thyroid homeostasis during early pregnancy is of particular concern, where subclinical changes in maternal thyroid hormones (THs) may affect embryonic and foetal development.</p>
<p>The present ...
Estimating Time-Varying PCB Exposures Using Person-Specific Predictions to Supplement Measured Values: A Comparison of Observed and Predicted Values in Two Cohorts of Norwegian Women
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
Background: Studies on the health effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) call for an
understanding of past and present human exposure. Time-resolved mechanistic models may
supplement information on concentrations in individuals obtained from measurements and/or
statistical approaches if they can be shown to reproduce empirical data.
<p>Objectives: Here, we evaluated the capability of one ...
