The Argentinian mother-and-child contaminant study: a cross-sectional study among delivering women in the cities of Ushuaia and Salta
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-28)
Several ongoing international multidisciplinary projects have examined linkages between environmental chemicals and health. In contrast to Arctic regions, information for the Southern Hemisphere is scarce. Because of the inherent practice of pesticide utilisation and mismanagement, food security is potentially threatened. The most vulnerable period in human life occurs during pregnancy and early ...
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) ...
Overview of ongoing cohort and dietary studies in the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-23)
This article gives an overview of the ongoing cohort and dietary studies underlying the assessment
of
population health in the Arctic. The emphasis here is on a description of the material, methods and
results or preliminary results for each study. Detailed exposure information is available in an
article in this journal, whereas another paper describes the effects associated with contaminant ...
Variations in serum concentrations of selected organochlorines among delivering women in Argentina. The EMASAR study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-29)
The EMASAR study is the first study to describe the body burden of OCs in Argentinian women after delivery. In
total, 698 maternal serum samples from Salta (n ¼ 498) and Ushuaia (n ¼ 200) were collected in 2011–2012 and
analyzed for a total of 7 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and 12 pesticide-related compounds. Only 11 of the
compounds had detection rates above 60% in one or both places. Compared ...
