Key findings and recommendations
Intressant för mig 1. AMAP 2015
Human Health Assessment Report
1. Human exposure to most POPs and metals is
declining across many parts of the Arctic, but
remains high among certain populations. Still a
concern.
2. Brominated flame retardants and perfluorinated
contaminants (PFCs) have been measured in human
populations living in the Arctic.
3. Hg Faroe details and highlights.
Intressant för mig 2. AMAP 2015
Human Health Assessment Report
1. Prenatal exposure to OCs does increase
susceptibility to infectious diseases (in particular
otitis media – middle ear infection, often in children
0-2 years). Most experimental evidence points to
the role played by the dioxin-like PCB congeners.
Perinatal exposure to PCBs and (especially)
perfluorinated compounds in Faroese children has
been associated with lower than expected antibody
production after routine childhood immunizations.
Intressant för mig 3. AMAP 2015
Human Health Assessment Report
1. Changes in PBDE levels follow a different pattern to
most ohther POPs, suggesting an alternative
exposure route. PBDEs may not accumulate in the
same way as other POPs. This still needs
investigation.
2. Blood Pb concentrations are still elevated in parts of
Russia and Canada. There may be other important
sources of exposure in addition to lead shot in
country food.
