Tectonism and volcanism enhanced by deglaciation events in southern Iceland
Southern Iceland is one of the main outlets of the Icelandic ice sheet and is subject to seismicity of both tectonic and volcanic origins along the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ). A sedimentary complex spanning Marine Isotopic Stage 6 (MIS 6) to the present includes evidence of both activities. It includes a continuous sedimentary record since the Eemian interglacial period, controlled by a rapid deglaciation, followed by two marine glacioisos…

Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity
Developmental neurotoxicity of industrial chemicals
Breastfeeding and the Weanling’s Dilemma
Wolf rightly calls attention to the low breastfeeding rates in the United States and emphasizes the many advantages associated with breastfeeding.1 We agree that every mother has a fundamental right to breastfeed her child, that human milk is the natural diet for infants, and that breastfeeding should be strongly promoted globally. We would like to add that breastfeeding should be safe and not affected by risks due to chemical pollutants. Some pe…
Neurobehavioral performance of Inuit children with increased prenatal exposure to methylmercury
Exposure to methylmercury from marine mammals and other seafood may affect the development of the central nervous system. In a traditional Inuit community in Qaanaaq, Greenland, mercury concentrations in cord blood and maternal hair have been examined in connection with all births. We examined 43 children at age 7-12 years with a battery of neurobehavioral tests. The average mercury concentration in hair was 5.0 microg/g and 1.5 microg/g in child…
Frequency of seafood intake in pregnancy as a determinant of birth weight
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to explore whether maternal consumption of seafood is a determinant of birth weight in a dose dependent manner. DESIGN--A population based survey of lifestyle factors in pregnancy was linked with information from antenatal and obstetric records. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS--Seventy five per cent of all 1362 women who delivered in the Faroe Islands during the study period 1986-87 who gave a structured post partum intervie…

Bone analysis
Modern-day environmental pollution by lead results in considerable adverse health effects. Increased lead exposures are a result of modern technology, and pre-industrial exposures were presumably very low. This possibility may be examined by analysis of mummified human tissues from the past. Bone samples are particularly well suited for this purpose, because the skeleton contains most of the body burden of lead, and because well preserved bone ti…
Delayed blood regeneration in lead exposure
Twenty-five lead-exposed Danish battery production workers and 25-age-matched controls were examined to evaluate subclinical effects on blood formation. Blood lead levels averaged 2.14 mumol/L and 0.35 mumol/L in the two groups; the lead workers also showed high levels of erythrocyte protoporphyrin, as compared to the controls. Otherwise, the hematological parameters indicated an appropriate iron status and no other deviations. From all subjects,…
