Research Abstract

魚を多食する集団を対象とした出生コホート調査である、フェロー諸島およびセイシェル共和国の調査に加え、東北地区で進められている調査(Tohoku Study of Child Development, TSCD)について、曝露指標の比較、共通のエンドポイントを用いたリスク評価の比較、心理発達指標の信頼性評価について検討した。曝露指標のうち、メチル水銀についてはセイシェル共和国>フェロー諸島>TSCDの順であり、PCB曝露については、母乳中濃度から推測してフェロー諸島>>TSCD>セイシェル共和国と考えられた。有機フッ素系化学物質については、フェロー諸島とTSCDで比較できたが、化学物質によって曝露レベルの順位は異なった。曝露指標と健康指標との関連性について、調査間で不一致が見られたが、その理由と曝露指標との関連性は必ずしも単純な関係ではなく、複合的な曝露影響、魚摂取と密接だが未測定の要因による影響などの関与なども推測され、今後のリスク評価作業において考慮すべき課題と考えられた。また、乳幼児発達検査法であるBayley Scales of Infant Development(BSID)について、TSCDの結果についてセイシェル共和国でBSIDの精度管理を担当する研究者による外部評価を行い、採点結果のカッパ係数は0.74と良好な結果が示された。BSIDの結果の国際比較が可能な精度であると考えられた。
