    • 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 

      Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Breivik, Knut; Wania, Frank; Rylander, Charlotta; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Sandanger, Torkjel M (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 ...

    • Maternal-Child Exposures to Persistent Organic Pollutants in Dhaka, Bangladesh 

      Leung, Michael; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Wania, Frank; Papp, Eszter Agnes; Herzke, Dorte; Mahmud, Abdullah Al; Roth, Daniel E (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-27)
      Information about the human burdens of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in low- and middle-income countries is limited. In particular, studies often include only a small subset of POPs. To address this data gap, we aimed to assess maternal-child exposures to POPs in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We quantified 16 organochlorine pesticides, 12 polychlorinated biphenyls, 21 brominated flame retardants, 18 ...

    • Modelling PCB-153 in northern ecosystems across time, space, and species using the nested exposure model 

      Krogseth, Ingjerd Sunde; Breivik, Knut; Frantzen, Sylvia; Nilsen, Bente Merete; Eckhardt, Sabine; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Wania, Frank (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-06)
      There is concern over possible effects on ecosystems and humans from exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and chemicals with similar properties. The main objective of this study was to develop, evaluate, and apply the Nested Exposure Model (NEM) designed to simulate the link between global emissions and resulting ecosystem exposure while accounting for variation in time and space. NEM, ...
