摘要

Background: Early-life exposures to environmental contaminants may modulate the development of immune system. Objective: To examine the associations between exposure to marine pollutants and prevalence of atopic diseases, antibodies and IgE concentrations. Methods: We examined 367 Greenlandic children aged 7 to 12 years from the IVAAQ and INUENDO pregnancy cohorts. Concurrent concentrations of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Mercury (Hg), Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), B-hexachlorocyclohexane (3-HCH), and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were measured in children's blood. Diagnoses of asthma, allergy, eczema, rash, and hayfever were ascertained based on the standardized International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood. We also measured Diphtheria and Tetanus antibodies and IgE concentrations in children's blood. We used generalized mixed effects models to estimate the associations between chemical concentrations and allergic diseases and antibodies concentrations. Results: Prevalence of asthma, allergy, eczema, rash, and hay fever was 14%, 13%, 14%, 17%, and 4%, respectively. We found positive associations between higher concentrations of HCB (Odds Ratios [OR] for a two-fold increase = 1.43; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.03, 1.98), Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA) (OR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.01, 2.60), and Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA) (OR = 1.33; 95% CI: 0.99,1.81) and asthma prevalence. In contrast, we found negative associations between HCB, PFASs, and Hg, and prevalence of eczema. For instance, a two-fold increase in PFOS and PFOA concentrations was associated with 0.40 (95% CI: 0.24, 0.65) and 0.31 (95% CI: 0.14, 0.67) lower odds of eczema. Similar negative associations were observed for the prevalence of rash. No pattern of associations was found with IgE and antibodies concentrations. Conclusions: Despite the contrasting observed associations, these findings provide further evidence on the potential immunomodulatory effects of marine pollutants.
