TL;DR: The effects on brain function associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure therefore appear widespread, and early dysfunction is detectable at exposure levels currently considered safe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive Performance of Children Prenatally Exposed to “Safe” Levels of Methylmercury
TL;DR: Subtle effects on brain function seem to be detectable at prenatal methylmercury exposure levels currently considered to be safe, within a cohort of 1022 consecutive singleton births in the Faroe Islands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of prenatal methylmercury exposure on neurobehavioral function at age 14 years.
Frodi Debes,Esben Budtz-Jørgensen,Esben Budtz-Jørgensen,Pal Weihe,Roberta F. White,Philippe Grandjean,Philippe Grandjean +6 more
TL;DR: The effects on brain function associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure appear to be multi-focal and permanent, supported by independent assessment of neurophysiological outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobehavioral deficits associated with PCB in 7-year-old children prenatally exposed to seafood neurotoxicants.
Philippe Grandjean,Pal Weihe,Virlyn W. Burse,Larry L. Needham,Eva Storr-Hansen,Birger Heinzow,Frodi Debes,Katsuyuki Murata,Henrik Simonsen,Peter Ellefsen,Esben Budtz-Jørgensen,Niels Keiding,Roberta F. White,Roberta F. White,Roberta F. White +14 more
TL;DR: While no PCB effects were apparent in children with low mercury exposure, PCB-associated deficits within the highest tertile of mercury exposure indicated a possible interaction between the two neurotoxicants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methylmercury Exposure Biomarkers as Indicators of Neurotoxicity in Children Aged 7 Years
Philippe Grandjean,Esben Budtz-Jørgensen,Roberta F. White,Poul J. Jørgensen,Pal Weihe,Frodi Debes,Niels Keding +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared regression coefficients for five sets of exposure biomarkers in 917 children from the Faroe Islands examined at birth, 1 year, and 7 years, and found that the cord-blood concentration showed the clearest associations with deficits in language, attention, and memory.
