Inter-individual variations of human mercury exposure biomarkers: a cross-sectional assessment
TL;DR: The use of THg concentration in whole blood as a proxy for MeHg exposure will give rise to an overestimation of the MeHG exposure depending on the degree of IHg Exposure, why speciation of mercury forms is needed and THg in RBC and hair are suitable proxies for Mehg exposure.
Exposure determinants of phthalates, parabens, bisphenol A and triclosan in Swedish mothers and their children.
Kristin Larsson,Karin Björklund,Brita Palm,Maria Wennberg,Lennart Kaj,Christian H. Lindh,Bo A. G. Jönsson,Marika Berglund +7 more
TL;DR: There were fairly good correlations of biomarker levels between the mothers and their children and the levels of high molecular weight phthalates and parabens were associated with consumption of certain foods and use of cosmetics and personal care products.

Formal recycling of e-waste leads to increased exposure to toxic metals: an occupational exposure study from Sweden.
Anneli Julander,Lennart Lundgren,Lizbet Skare,Margaretha Grandér,Brita Palm,Marie Vahter,Carola Lidén +6 more
TL;DR: Evaluating workers' exposure to metals, using biomarkers of exposure in combination with monitoring of personal air exposure shows that workers performing recycling tasks are exposed to multiple toxic metals.

TL;DR: In a fish-eating population, intake of MeHg via the diet has a marked impact on the MeHG concentration in the brain, while exposure to dental amalgam restorations increases the I-Hg concentrations in the head.

TL;DR: An inverse association was found between children's weight and height, age-adjusted z scores, and growth velocity at age 5 years and concurrent exposure to cadmium and arsenic and concurrent Exposure to arsenic and arsenic was apparent primarily among girls.
