Smoking as a Determinant of High Organochlorine Levels in Greenland
Udgivelsesdato: Jan The authors investigated the accumulation of organochlorines among smoking and nonsmoking Inuit hunters (n = 48) in Uummanaq, Greenland, a population with high dietary exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Human plasma organochlorine levels were positively correlated...
