Benchmark dose calculations of methylmercury-associated neurobehavioural deficits
Budtz-Jørgensen, Esben; Grandjean, Philippe; Keiding, Niels; White, Roberta F; Weihe, Pal (Elsevier BV, 2000)Prenatal methylmercury exposure is associated with neuropsychological deficits in Faroese children at age 7 years. Lower confidence bounds of benchmark doses (BMDLs) have now been calculated. With the cord-blood mercury ... -
Cognitive deficits and magnetic resonance spectroscopy in adult monozygotic twins with lead poisoning.
Weisskopf, Marc G.; Hu, Howard; Mulkern, Robert Vincent; White, Roberta F; Aro, Antonio; Oliveira, Steven; Wright, Robert O. (2004)Seventy-one-year-old identical twin brothers with chronic lead poisoning were identified from an occupational medicine clinic roster. Both were retired painters, but one brother (J.G.) primarily removed paint and had a ... -
Consequences of exposure measurement error for confounder identification in environmental epidemiology
Budtz-Jørgensen, Esben; Keiding, Niels; Grandjean, Philippe; Weihe, Pal; White, Roberta F (Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)Non-differential measurement error in the exposure variable is known to attenuate the dose–response relationship. The amount of attenuation introduced in a given situation is not only a function of the precision of the ... -
Functional MRI approach to developmental methylmercury and polychlorinated biphenyl neurotoxicity
White, Roberta F; Palumbo, Carole L.; Yurgelun-Todd, Deborah; Heaton, Kristin J.; Weihe, Pal; Debes, Frodi; Grandjean, Philippe (Elsevier BV, 2011)Prenatal and early childhood exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are associated with deficits in cognitive, sensory, motor and other functions measured by neurobehavioral tests. The main ... -
Impact of prenatal methylmercury exposure on neurobehavioral function at age 14 years
Debes, Frodi; Budtz-Jørgensen, Esben; Weihe, Pal; White, Roberta F; Grandjean, Philippe (Elsevier BV, 2006)A cohort of 1022 consecutive singleton births was generated during 1987–1988 in the Faroe Islands, where increased methylmercury exposure occurs from traditional seafood diets that include pilot whale meat. The prenatal ... -
Methylmercury neurotoxicity independent of PCB exposure
Budtz-Jørgensen, E; Keiding, N; Grandjean, Philippe; White, Roberta F (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1999) -
Neurobehavioral performance of Inuit children with increased prenatal exposure to methylmercury
Weihe, Pal; Hansen, Jens C.; Murata, Katsuyuki; Debes, Frodi; Jorgensen, Poul J.; Steuerwald, Ulrike; White, Roberta F; Grandjean, Philippe (Taylor & Francis Open, 2002)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 ... -
Neurotoxic Risk Caused by Stable and Variable Exposure to Methylmercury From Seafood
Grandjean, Philippe; White, Roberta F; Weihe, Pal; Jørgensen, Poul J. (Elsevier, 2003)Objectives.—To examine whether the dose-effect relationship for developmental mercury neurotoxicity is affected by variable mercury exposure during pregnancy. Methods.—The study was based on a birth cohort of 1022 children ...
