The Analytica model file contains the actual calculations for this assessment. The actual code created with the ana-wiki converter can be found from [1].
This project is planned to serve as a case study to represent the utilization of the open assessment method.
Contents
Scope
Purpose
This assessment evaluates the effects of methyl mercury and omega-3 fatty acids on development of IQ in children. The source of exposure is Finnish fish consumption.
Boundaries
- Population of Finland
- Current situation
Scenarios
- Business as usual (the current situation).
- A change in total fish intake such that, according to the model, keeps the net effect of fish on the child's IQ positive? D↷
Intended users
- Authorities giving food recommendations.
- Anyone interested.
Participants
- Beneris researchers, especially Olli and Patrycja Gradowska.

Decision variables
- Fish intake of pregnant mothers in Finland Unpublished data, requires a password.
Indicators
Other variables
Environmental variables
Exposure variables
- Domestic fish consumption of the pregnant women in Finland (unpublished data, requires a password)
- Fish oil intake in Beneris
- Methyl mercury intake from fish in Beneris
Population characteristics
Exposure-response functions
Indices
- Fish (species): Herring, Vendace, Whitefish, Pike, Perch, Salmon, Pike-pearch
- Water (from which the fish comes from): Baltic Sea, Inland lake
- NOTE!
- Herring is only from the Baltic Sea.
- All pike-pearch is shown as "Inland lake" although a part comes from the Baltic Sea.
- All salmon is shown as "Inland lake" although most of it comes from the Atlantic Ocean from Norway.
Analyses
- What should be done to the total fish intake to keep the net effect of fish on the child's IQ positive?
