Numerous intercalibration exercises have indicated that the in Sweden frequently used, so called Jensen extraction method for total lipids and lipophilic pollutants gave satisfactory yields when applied to fatty aquatic organisms. However, a comparison with classical Bligh Dyer forerunner, Folch methods, revealed case of very lean fish (fat content below 1%, e.g., cod), lipid were about 25% too low method; consequently, residue levels quoted on weight basis correspondingly high. To rectify...
Toxicology-related experts are on a daily basis working with the safety assessment of chemicals for human health and environment, providing knowledge applied management regulation chemicals. The field toxicology is undergoing continuous transition away from traditional evaluation studies in experimental animals to application new approach methodologies (NAMs), use omics-related technologies, concepts like next-generation risk assessment. This requires expertise technologies but does not...
The present study is designed to assess the occurrence of a few organochlorine contaminants and their metabolites in eggs different marine bird species Iceland, country located sub-Arctic North-Western Atlantic. Previous investigations from e.g. Sweden Netherlands have shown some obvious differences contaminant concentrations, including hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyl (OH-PCBs) guillemot (Uria aalge) other species. Eggs seven species, Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea), common eider...
A total diet study (TDS) is a public health tool for determination of population dietary exposure to chemicals across the entire diet. TDSs have been performed in several countries but comparability data produced limited. Harmonisation TDS methodology therefore desirable and development comparable food lists considered essential achieve consistency between countries. The aim this develop test feasibility method establishing harmonised sample five European with different consumption patterns...
Previous risk assessments have concluded that adolescent's caffeine exposure from energy drinks (ED) are of limited concern. Recent surveys have, however, shown substantial increase in consumption. This cross-sectional survey conducted 2020 estimated beverages among ∼80% all 13-15-year-old adolescents (n = 10358) relative to the European Food Safety Authority's level no safety concern (3.0 mg/kg bw) and for effects on sleep (1.4 bw). Associations with self-reported duration quality were also...
To evaluate the accuracy and robustness of an extraction method, utilizing -alkaline-ethanolic solution microwave heating, certified reference material (CRM) TORT-2 was subjected to three different instrumental methodologies: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), coupled with without post-column hydride generation; inductively plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS); HPLC-hydride generation-atomic fluorescence (HPLC-HG-AFS). The methods gave a consistent value inorganic arsenic (As) which...
Perfluorinatedalkyl acids (PFAAs) are of growing concern due to possible health effects on humans. Exposure assessments indicate that fish consumption is one the major sources perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure humans, PFASs, whereas concerns overestimation this source have been raised. Therefore, PFAAs concentrations in from North Atlantic (Icelandic fishing grounds) flesh different species were investigated along with more detailed analyses tissue cod ( Gadus morhua ) and lumpfish...
Abstract This paper examines a number of specific, practical recommendations to advance knowledge and move towards evidence-based solutions microplastic (MP) pollution in the Nordic marine environment. The approaches subject MPs holistically, emphasises gaps challenges answering pressing questions, discusses limitations that so far have prevented these questions from being solved, suggests for them. context is chosen due global importance its ecosystem threatened by MP pollution, exacerbated...
