    • Impaired gross motor development in infants with higher PFAS concentrations 

      Varsi, Kristin; Huber, Sandra; Averina, Maria; Brox, Jan; Monsen, Anne-Lise Bjørke; Torsvik, Ingrid Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)
      Industrial produced perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmentally persistent and found in humans around the globe. PFAS is transferred from mother to child during pregnancy and lactation and PFAS concentrations are high in infants. PFAS exposure in early life has been linked to a range of negative health effects. In the present study we have investigated PFAS concentrations in mothers (pregnancy ...

    • Quantitation of linear and branched perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSAs) in women and infants during pregnancy and lactation 

      Varsi, Kristin; Huber, Sandra; Averina, Maria; Brox, Jan; Monsen, Anne-Lise Bjørke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-24)
      Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are associated with negative health effects, and exposure during fetal life and infancy are of concern. A subgroup of PFAS, linear and branched perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSA), have significant differences in biochemical reactions, bioaccumulation and potential toxic exposure effects, and data on transfer of PFSA isomers from mother to ...
