Climate change and environmental impacts on maternal and newborn health with focus on Arctic populations.
Rylander, Charlotta; Odland, jon Øyvind; Sandanger, Torkjel Manning (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented a report on global warming and the impact of human activities on global warming. Later the Lancet commission identified six ways human health could be affected. Among these were not environmental factors which are also believed to be important for human health. In this paper we therefore focus on environmental factors, climate ... -
Climate change and the potential effects on maternal and pregnancy outcomes: an assessment of the most vulnerable - the mother, fetus, and newborn child
Rylander, Charlotta; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Sandanger, Torkjel Manning (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented a large amount of evidence about global warming and the impact of human activities on global climate change. The Lancet Commission have identified a number of ways in which climate change can influence human health: lack of food and safe drinking water, poor sanitation, population migration, changing disease patterns and ... -

Bratland, Kristine Moksnes; Wien, Charlotte; Sandanger, Torkjel Manning (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-30)<p><i>Introduction</i> In recent years, information technology and social media have experienced unprecedented growth, particularly in the Nordic countries. However, there is a noticeable lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the latest research findings on online health information seeking behaviour (OHISB) among young adults (18 to >30). There is a need to conduct an updated review to ... -
Fluorine Mass Balance, including Total Fluorine, Extractable Organic Fluorine, Oxidizable Precursors, and Target Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, in Pooled Human Serum from the Tromsø Population in 1986, 2007, and 2015
Cioni, Lara; Plassmann, Merle; Benskin, Jonathan P.; Coelho, Ana Carolina; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Rylander, Karin Charlotta Maria; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Sandanger, Torkjel Manning (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-25)Of the thousands of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) known to exist, only a small fraction (≤1%) are commonly monitored in humans. This discrepancy has led to concerns that human exposure may be underestimated. Here, we address this problem by applying a comprehensive fluorine mass balance (FMB) approach, including total fluorine (TF), extractable organic fluorine (EOF), total oxidizable ... -

Sandanger, Torkjel Manning; Anda, Erik Eik; Berglen, Tore Flatlandsmo; Evenset, Anita; Christensen, Guttorm; Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)The contaminant situation in the Norwegian-Russian border has caused concern for several decades and considerable amount of data has been gathered during the Pasvik programme (Stebel et al., 2007; Pasvik programme, 2008) for the environmental pollution, but not in this extent for food safety and potential human health risks in this region. Through the compiling of the available literature the ... -
Increased expression of individual genes in whole blood is associated with late-stage lung cancer at and close to diagnosis
Urbarova, Ilona Halva; Skogholt, Anne Heidi; Sun, Yi-Qian; Mai, Xiao-Mei; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Sandanger, Torkjel Manning; Sætrom, Pål; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-25)Lung cancer (LC) mortality rates are still increasing globally. As survival is linked to stage, there is a need to identify markers for earlier LC diagnosis and individualized treatment. The whole blood transcriptome of LC patients represents a source of potential LC biomarkers. We compared expression of > 60,000 genes in whole blood specimens taken from LC cases at diagnosis (n = 128) and controls ... -
Indications of decreasing human PTS concentrations in North West Russia
Rylander, Charlotta; Sandanger, Torkjel Manning; Petrenya, Natalia Nikolaevna; Konoplev, AV; Bojko, E; Odland, jon Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)The Russian Arctic covers an enormous landmass with diverse environments. It inhabits more than 20 different ethnic groups, all of them with various living conditions and food traditions. Indigenous populations with a traditional way of living are exposed to a large number of anthropogenic pollutants, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and toxic metals, mainly through the diet. Human ... -

Occurrence and levels of organochlorine compounds in human breast milk in Bangladesh
Bergkvist, Charlotte; Aune, Marie; Nilsson, Ingrid; Sandanger, Torkjel Manning; Hamadani, Jena Derakhshani; Tofail, Fahmida; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Kabir, Iqbal; Vahter, Marie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)In low-income countries, the use of some organochlorine pesticides is still common in order to increase food production. Monitoring the chemical exposure is an important step in risk-reducing strategies. This is the first study to report concentrations of organochlorines in breast milk of women from Bangladesh where farming is the main income source. Organochlorines such as p,p′-DDT, o,p′-DDT, ... -
