TL;DR: In Catalonia, an advanced European society, exposure to POPs remains common, the vast majority of the population has much lower blood concentrations than a relative minority, and the population distributions of POP are hence highly skewed to the right.

TL;DR: In spite of methodological heterogeneity, the studies were able to quantify to what extent consumption of foods from animal origin (fish, milk, dairy products and meat) is related to higher body concentrations of POPs.

TL;DR: By focusing on the issues which challenge the validity of risk estimates from CT exposures, EPI-CT will be able to address limitations of previous CT studies, thus providing reliable estimates of risk of solid tumours and leukaemia from children's CT exposures and scientific bases for the optimisation of paediatric CT protocols and patient protection.

TL;DR: Concentrations of most OCs were higher in the less affluent occupational social classes, and the putative causal role of these persistent organic pollutants may not be independent of social class in pancreatic cancer.
