A Multi-Individual Pharmacokinetic Model Framework for Interpreting Time Trends of Persistent Chemicals in Human Populations: Application to a Postban Situation
BACKGROUND Human milk and blood are monitored to detect time trends of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in humans. It is current practice to use log-linear regression to fit time series of averaged cross-sectional biomonitoring data, here referred to as cross-sectional trend data (CSTD). OBJECTIVE The goals of our study are to clarify the interpretation of half-lives derived from fitting ...
متن کاملRecommendations for Evaluating Temporal Trends of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Breast Milk
BACKGROUND Biomonitoring data of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in breast milk are increasingly collected and available for quantitative analysis of levels and time trends. A common approach is to apply log-linear regression to calculate doubling and halving times of the POP concentrations based on the temporal trend observed in breast milk. However, there are different, sometimes conflic...
متن کاملThe effect of food provisioning on persistent organic pollutant bioamplification in Chinook salmon larvae.
Fall spawning pacific salmon provision large amounts of yolk to their eggs to allow survival of larvae during under the ice winter conditions. This yolk provisioning leads to maternal offloading of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to eggs and larvae. Previous research has shown that Chinook salmon larvae exhibit limited capacity to eliminate POPs during the cold water period resulting in bi...
متن کاملBaseline Characteristics of the Paediatric Observation Priority Score in Emergency Departments outside Its Centre of Derivation
OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND Scoring systems in Emergency Departments (EDs) are rarely validated. This study aimed to examine the Paediatric Observation Priority Score (POPS), a method of quantifying patient acuity, in EDs in the United Kingdom, and determine baseline performance characteristics. METHODS POPS was implemented in 4 EDs for children (ages of 0 to 16) with participants grouped into ...
متن کاملMonitoring and Assessment of Environmental Impact by Persistent Organic Pollutants
Institute RECETOX coordinates the “Central and Eastern European Centre for Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)” of Stockholm Convention (SC) environmental services: data monitoring, processing, storage and their management. This is supported by the Global Environmental Assessment and Information System (GENASIS) that utilizes data from national and international monitoring networks to obtain a...
