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
Blood cadmium, mercury, and lead in children: An international comparison of cities in six European countries, and China, Ecuador, and Morocco
Frantiska Hruba,Ulf Strömberg,Milena Černá,Chunying Chen,Florencia Harari,Raúl Harari,Milena Horvat,Kvetoslava Koppova,Andreja Kos,Andrea Krsková,Mladen Krsnik,Jawhar Laamech,Yufeng Li,Lina Löfmark,Thomas Lundh,Nils-Göran Lundström,Badiaa Lyoussi,Darja Mazej,Joško Osredkar,Krystyna Pawlas,Natalia Pawlas,Adam Prokopowicz,Gerda Rentschler,Vera Spevackova,Zdravko Špirić,Janja Snoj Tratnik,Staffan Skerfving,Ingvar A. Bergdahl +27 more
TL;DR: It is shown that European city children's B-Cd and B-Pb vary only little between countries; B-Hg differs considerably, due to varying tooth restoration practices and fish intake, and traffic intensity close to home was a statistically significant determinant.
Journal ArticleDOI
The European COPHES/DEMOCOPHES project: towards transnational comparability and reliability of human biomonitoring results.

TL;DR: The COPHES/DEMOCOPHES project for the first time succeeded in performing a harmonized pan-European HBM project and can be used as a blueprint for future transnational, multicentre HBM projects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made an international comparison of blood levels of cadmium (B-Cd), lead (BPb) and mercury (BHg) of women in seven European, and three non-European cities, and to identify determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphisms in ABC Transporter Genes and Concentrations of Mercury in Newborns - Evidence from Two Mediterranean Birth Cohorts.
Sabrina Llop,Karin Engström,Ferran Ballester,Elisa Franforte,Ayman Alhamdow,Federica Edith Pisa,Janja Snoj Tratnik,Datja Mazej,Mario Murcia,Marisa Rebagliato,Mariona Bustamante,Jordi Sunyer,Αikaterini Sofianou-Katsoulis,Alexia Prasouli,Eleni Antonopoulou,Ioanna Antoniadou,Sheena Nakou,Fabio Barbone,Milena Horvat,Karin Broberg,Karin Broberg +20 more
TL;DR: The ABC transporters appear to play a role in accumulation of MeHg during early development, as well as modifying the associations between maternal fish intake and cord blood mercury concentrations.
