“…PHIME focuses on early life nutrition but aims to investigate the level of heavy metals in blood and breast milk accumulated through the nutrition. Cohorts are in Croatia, Greece, Italy and Slovenia (Miklavčič et al, 2013). Both SPACE and AMICS are focused on the development of asthma and atopy in childhood.…”

“…Both PHIME and CHEF research long-term, low-level environmental exposure to toxic and essential metals via food. CHEF also focuses on the health of children and adults with an emphasis on the impact of a seafood diet and on marine contaminants (Miklavčič et al, 2013). Particulate matter (PM) is measured as an air pollutant since it covers all liquid and solid particles suspended in the air.…”

A birth cohort study is a form of study that uses expectant mothers and newborn as research subjects. This form of research is suitable for epidemiological studies, which pregnancy and birth cohort studies generally are. Data is collected in order to identify health consequences and overall health outcomes. The main aim of this paper is to review and summarize all cohort studies that have been carried out or are still being conducted in Europe, as well as general information such as aim of the study, number of participants and duration of follow-up. Gathering information was made easier by websites such as Birthcohorts, CHICOS and LifeCycle, where many of the cohorts and their sources are listed. The remaining data was found by searching Google Scholar, PubMed and similar webpages, using keywords ‘birth and pregnancy cohorts’, ‘infants’, ‘pregnancies’, ‘allergies’ and ‘childhood obesity’. Overall, 137 cohorts in 27 countries were found. They are a great and important source of information and for the most part, concentrate on general health and wellbeing of mothers and children. Collaboration between different birth cohorts is crucial for further harmonization of collected data and their use in the public health systems worldwide

“…The dietary exposure to methylmercury was calculated to vary from 0.06 μg/kg b.w./week in the elderly to 1.57 μg/kg b.w./week in toddlers. As noted above, fish are generally the largest source of foodborne mercury exposure, predominantly as methylmercury, for the general populations in most countries (Jenssen et al, 2012;Miklavčič et al, 2012;Watanabe et al, 2012;Holloman and Newman, 2012;Tsuchiya et al, 2012;You et al, 2012;Karjalainen et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2012). Infants are exposed to mercury via breast milk from mothers consuming fish, as measured by total mercury (Okati et al, 2012;Orün et al, 2012).…”
