Assessment and Updating of the Fortification Model from 2006
2021
In 2006 the, the Panel on Nutrition, Dietetic Products, Novel Food and Allergy in the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) adapted a Danish model for assessing applications concerning food fortification into Norwegian conditions. The fortification model is presently used by the Norwegian Food Safety Authorities as a tool in the management of applications on food fortification.
 
 The model from 2006 was based on intake calculations from dietary surveys from 1997-2000. Since then, new national dietary surveys have been published. These are the comprehensive nationwide Norwegian dietary surveys among adults (Norkost 3, 2010-2011), among young children (Småbarnskost,…
Long-Term Exposure to Transportation Noise and Risk for Type 2 Diabetes in a Nationwide Cohort Study from Denmark
2021
Background: Epidemiologic studies have linked transportation noise to increased morbidity and mortality, particularly for cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies investigating metabolic outcomes such as diabetes are limited and have focused only on noise exposures estimated for the loudest residential façade. Objectives: We aimed to examine the influence of long-term residential exposure to transportation noise at the loudest and quietest residential façades and the risk for type 2 diabetes. Methods: Road traffic and railway noise exposures (Lden) at the most and least exposed façades were estimated for all dwellings in Denmark during 1990–2017. Aircraft noise was estimated in 5-dB catego…
Traffic-related environmental risk factors and their impact on oxidative stress and cardiovascular health
2020
Abstract The adverse effects of the environment on health are increasingly recognized. The WHO estimates that noise accounts for 1 million annually lost healthy life years in Western Europe due to increased incidence of hypertension, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke. An even more severe health impact was reported for air pollution (e.g., PM2.5) accounting for up to 800,000 annual excess deaths in Europe. Adverse effects of air pollution are mechanistically better characterized, but there is still a great need to understand the pathophysiology of air pollution-induced cardiovascular disease, especially the potential synergistic effects together with noise. With the present bo…
128 Development of a job-exposure matrix (JEM) to describe pesticide exposure in Spanish workers (1996–2005)
2013
Objectives Pesticides are intensively used in Spain in a wide range of economic activities such as agriculture, farming, wood treatments or pest control, reaching in 2005 a consumption of more than 100,000 ton/year. Exposure to these substances has been proven to have negative effects on human health. However, there is little information available regarding the levels and frequency of exposure for workers, or the job titles associated with the worst exposure indicators. This study aimed to collect the available information on occupational pesticide exposure in Spain as a job-exposure matrix (JEM). Methods The work was carried out in the context of MatEmESp Project, which aims to build a Spa…
Lethal Traumatic Injuries due to Traffic Accidents
2019
The Global status report on road safety published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 estimating information from 180 countries indicates that worldwide the total number of road traffic deaths has plateaued at 1.25 million per year. This report, the third Global status report on road safety, shows that low- and middle-income countries are more affected with a mortality rate of 90% of global road traffic deaths.
