DEHP metabolites in urine of children and DEHP in house dustKerstin Becker
Umweltbundesamt Federal Environmental Agency, Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 207:409-17. 2004..The house dust analyses revealed DEHP contamination of all samples. The GM was 508 mg/kg dust. No correlation could be observed between the levels of any of the urinary DEHP metabolites and those of DEHP in house dust...- German Environmental Survey 1998 (GerES III): environmental pollutants in blood of the German populationKerstin Becker
Federal Environmental Agency, P O Box 330022, D 14191 Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 205:297-308. 2002..alpha-HCH and gamma-HCH could be detected in 1.7% and 5.2% of the samples only. beta-HCH was quantified in 34% of the samples with a 95th percentile of 0.5 microgram/l... - German Environmental Survey 1998 (GerES III): environmental pollutants in the urine of the German populationKerstin Becker
Federal Environmental Agency, P O Box 330022, D 14191 Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 206:15-24. 2003.... - GerES IV pilot study: assessment of the exposure of German children to organophosphorus and pyrethroid pesticidesKerstin Becker
Department of Environmental Hygiene, Umweltbundesamt Federal Environmental Agency, Corrensplatz 1, 14195 Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 209:221-33. 2006..In addition, a significant correlation between permethrin in house dust and the metabolite concentrations in urine could be observed. Thus it seems likely that ingestion of house dust contributes to children's exposure... 
GerES IV: phthalate metabolites and bisphenol A in urine of German childrenKerstin Becker
Federal Environment Agency UBA, Dessau Rosslau Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 212:685-92. 2009..7microg/l. A rough calculation of the daily intakes on the basis of the measured concentrations in urine resulted in daily intakes two orders of magnitude lower than the current EFSA reference dose of 50microg/kgbw/d...- German Environmental Survey (GerES): human biomonitoring as a tool to identify exposure pathwaysK Becker
Federal Environment Agency Umweltbundesamt, Corrensplatz 1, 14195 Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 210:267-9. 2007..An overview on relevant pilot study results is given. The results of GerES IV will permit the verification and substantiation of the pilot study results... - Environmental surveys, specimen bank and health related environmental monitoring in GermanyMarike Kolossa-Gehring
Federal Environment Agency Umweltbundesamt, Dessau Rosslau, Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 215:120-6. 2012.... - Overview of the study design, participation and field work of the German Environmental Survey on Children 2003-2006 (GerES IV)Christine Schulz
German Federal Environment Agency Umweltbundesamt, UBA, Dessau Roßlau, Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 215:435-48. 2012..This comprehensive overview aims at giving other research groups the opportunity to compare different study designs or to adapt their own design to get comparable results... - German environmental survey IV: children's exposure to environmental tobacco smokeAndre Conrad
Federal Environment Agency Umweltbundesamt, Department for Environmental Hygiene, 14195 Berlin, Germany
Toxicol Lett 192:79-83. 2010..g. cadmium. Temporal comparison indicated that in the last 15 years no decrease of children's ETS exposure has been achieved in Germany... - German Environmental Survey for Children (GerES IV)--first resultsMarike Kolossa Gehring
Umweltbundesamt Federal Environment Agency, Corrensplatz 1, 14195 Berlin, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 210:535-40. 2007..Results from the GerES IV pilot study showed a relation between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and an increased susceptibility to infections and inflammations of the middle ear... - Di-n-butylphthalate and butylbenzylphthalate - urinary metabolite levels and estimated daily intakes: pilot study for the German Environmental Survey on childrenHolger M Koch
Institute and Outpatient Clinic of Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, Erlangen, Germany
J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 17:378-87. 2007..For both phthalates and independent of the model, we found increasing daily intakes with decreasing age. Between 25% (creatinine model) and 50% (volume model) of the 2-4-year old children had daily intakes for DnBP above the TDI... - Temporal changes in blood lead levels of children in east GermanyInes Meyer
Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Chair of Epidemiology, GSF-National Research Centre for Environment and Health, Institute of Epidemiology, Neuherberg, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 206:181-92. 2003..It seems that the decline in ambient lead fall had an impact on the body burden of lead, but the overall decrease in BLL in these two regions is caused by the overall decrease of lead in gasoline and thus in food... - Daily intake of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) by German children -- A comparison of two estimation models based on urinary DEHP metabolite levelsMatthias Wittassek
Institute and Outpatient Clinic of Occupational, Social and Enironmental Medicine, University of Erlangen Nuremberg, Germany
Int J Hyg Environ Health 210:35-42. 2007..Younger children seem to be more severely burdened, which may be due to a higher food consumption related to their bw, mouthing behaviour and/or playing near the ground...
