Levels and trends of contaminants in humans of the Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-13)
The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) is one of the six working groups established under the Arctic Council. AMAP is tasked with monitoring the levels of contaminants present in the Arctic environment and people as well as assessing their effects on a continuous basis, and reporting these results regularly. Most of the presented data have been collected over the last 20 years and are ...
Factors associated with maternal serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances and organochlorines: A descriptive study of parous women in Norway and Sweden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-08)
<b>Introduction</b><br>
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and organochlorines (OCs) are ubiquitous and persistent
in the environment and proposed endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). They can be
transferred across the placenta during pregnancy, and studies suggest that the prenatal
period may be particularly sensitive for influences on fetal growth and development. Several
studies have ...
Maternal serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances and organochlorines and indices of fetal growth: a Scandinavian case-cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-26)
<b>Background:</b> The associations between prenatal exposure
to endocrine disruptive chemicals (EDCs) and fetal growth are
inconsistent, and few studies have considered small-for-gestational-age
(SGA) birth as an outcome. Our current study of
Scandinavian parous women aimed to address these inconsistencies
and gaps in the literature.<br>
<b>Methods:</b> This case–cohort study included 424 ...
