Scope
MeHg intake from fish describes the exposure to methyl mercury due to fish consumption in the Beneris population.
Definition
MeHg intake from fish is represented as a continuous variable and is indexed by variable age. It applies to Finnish pregnant women (this represents prenatal exposure to MeHg from fish), to the two last age categories (18-55yr, 55yr+) and to indicators such as intelligence quotient (IQ) in children and remaining lifetime risk of death from cardiovascular disease in adults.
Causality
List of parents:
- Mercury and methyl mercury concentrations in fish
- Domestic fish consumption of the general population
- Domestic fish consumption of the pregnant women in Finland
- Body weight in Finland
Data
Data 1
Data 2
Data 2 represents intake of methyl mercury by Finnish pregnant women due to fish consumption. The MeHg intakes from sea and freshater species are estimated separately. The MeHg intake from a given fish species is calculated as a product of the MeHg concentration in this species and intake of this species by pregnant women divided by the body weight of pregnant women.
Formula
Data 1
<anacode>Concentrationdata*Subgroupconsumption/365/BW</anacode>
Exposure is calculated as a product of concentration data and fish consumption data. This is further divided by bodyweight to report exposure in relation to kg of bodyweight.
Data 2
MeHg_Concentration_species(i)*Intake_species(i)/BW
Unit
Data 1
µg/kg bw/year or mg/kg bw/d?
Data 2
µg/kg bw/d
