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.

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.

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.

TL;DR: These estimates document that efforts to combat mercury pollution and to reduce MeHg exposures will have very substantial economic benefits in Europe, mainly in southern countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a linear dose-response function with a slope of 0.465 IQ point reduction per μg/g increase in the maternal hair-Hg concentration during pregnancy.
