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
This study is a business-as-usual, i.e. a burden-of-disease assessment with only one decision scenario. D↷
This project is supposed to serve as a case study to represent the utilization of the pyrkilo method.
Intended users
Participants
- Beneris researchers
Definition
Decision variables
- None
Indicators
Other variables
Environmental variables
Exposure variables
- Domestic fish consumption of the pregnant women in Finland
- Domestic fish consumption of the general population in Finland
- Fish oil intake in Beneris
- Methyl mercury intake from fish in Beneris

Analyses
Interesting population subgroups for exposure might be:
- pregnant women with high fish consumption (e.g. 0.95 percentile of fish consumption data of pregnant women)
- pregnant women with average fish consumption (e.g. mean fish consumption of pregnant women)
- pregnant women with very low or no fish consumption (e.g. 0.05 percentile of fish consumption data of pregnant women)
- general Finnish population with normal fish consumption (as a comparison to the pregnant women scenarios)
