Description

This cross-sectional study investigated the association between levels of heavy and essential metals among pregnant women living in Greenland and birth outcomes of their newborn children. The study found higher levels of cadmium, chromium, and nickel in the pregnant women compared to reported normal ranges, but there were significant regional differences across Greenland. It also found that cadmium and copper were significantly inversely related to birth outcomes.
