Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results of this study partly support the assumption that long-term occupational exposure to Hg0 enhances the formation of free radicals even several years after termination of occupational exposure, and could be one of the risk factors for increased lipid peroxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The project demonstrates the feasibility of a Europe-wide human biomonitoring framework to support the decision-making process of environmental measures to protect public health and takes the first steps to assess personal chemical exposures in Europe as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The individual BPA levels in children were significantly correlated with the levels in their mothers (r=0.265, p<0.001), which may suggest a possible common environmental/dietary factor that influences the biomarker level in each pair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury, arsenic and selenium exposure levels in relation to fish consumption in the Mediterranean area.
Ana Miklavčič,Anica Casetta,Janja Snoj Tratnik,Darja Mazej,Mladen Krsnik,Marika Mariuz,Katia Sofianou,Zdravko Špirić,Fabio Barbone,Milena Horvat +9 more
TL;DR: Fish consumption, the possible common source of As, Hg and Se intake, could explain the correlations between the elements determined in cord blood, mother's blood or breast milk and significant linear correlations were found between Hg, Se and As in blood, cord blood and breast milk.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There are significant differences in MeHg exposure across the EU and that exposure is highly correlated with consumption of fish and marine products, in particular.
