    Abstract Maternal mortality is still globally high and reducing it is a top priority. Teenage pregnancies have more complications and are also unwanted in many cases. This contributes to the high maternal mortality with both obstetric complications and burden of unsafe abortion. Additionally, many teenagers live in areas with heavy pollution that affects the mother and the unborn child. Global public health is a very important issue that aims to prevent disease, prolong life, and promote physical, mental and social well-being. Teenagers are the future, and maternal death is a disaster that should be prevented. Hence, research should aim to improve teenage reproductive health and influence policy makers. There are a variety of topics in this issue, with some conclusions and ways forward as described in different papers in this book

    Abstract This article presents a comprehensive survey of the studies on the biomonitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and metals in biota and human tissues on the territory of the Russian Arctic. It is concluded that a relatively small number of studies were carried out during the last 40 years; for several Russian Arctic regions there is no data up to date, and for some regions the data are scarce, with most of the studies carried out in 1990s, followed by the large-scale GEF/AMAP/RAIPON project of 2001-2004 covering four regions. After that, single projects have been implemented in a few regions. Only the Nenets okrug and the Chukotka okrug (and hardly the Murmansk oblast) can be attributed as the regions where the biomonitoring of contaminants was carried out during last decades on several occasions, and for which the content of POPs and metals in biota and the human organism was assessed in 12-15-year dynamic trends (at least "at three points"). For the rest of the Russian Arctic territories, only fragmentary "cross-sections" of biomonitoring data is available, mainly obtained in the 1990s or early 2000s, which do not allow judging either the dynamics of the processes or the current state of affairs. The overwhelming majority of the studies in the Russian Arctic (more than 90%) were carried out within the framework of international projects, i.e., with cofinancing, assistance and contribution (including laboratory analyses) from the foreign colleagues and partners. The shortcomings of the Russian system of biomonitoring, including the weakness of the laboratory and research base, are considered. Perspectives of the Russian Arctic biomonitoring are discussed in detail, with the proposal of the elaboration of the national Russian Arctic Contaminants Program (RACP).

    Abstract Vitamin D is a potent immune system modulator; its deficiency correlates with increased susceptibility to infections. We evaluated the status of maternal serum vitamin D in women with spontaneous preterm birth. In this case-control study, the maternal serum concentration of vitamin D (25OH D) was measured in 95 women delivering preterm and 92 women having a term birth. Vitamin D sufficiency was found in 79% of the mothers who delivered preterm and 80.4% of the mothers who had term birth (p=0.822). There was a negative correlation between maternal serum concentration of 25 Hydroxyvitamin D and maternal age in the preterm birth group (p=0.043). In conclusion, there was no difference in maternal serum concentrations of 25 Hydroxyvitamin D between women delivering preterm compared to those having term birth. Maternal serum concentration of 25 Hydroxyvitamin D is not associated with occurrence of preterm birth.

    Abstract Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals with potential adverse health effects. Information concerning PFAS concentrations in relation to pregnancy is scarce in South America and non-existent in Argentina.
    Aim: We aimed to investigate an extended maternal PFAS profile herein serum concentrations in a regional and global view, source appointment, and determinants in Argentinean women.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study with a sampling period from 2011 to 2012 included 689 women from Ushuaia and Salta in Argentina. Serum samples collected two days postpartum were analyzed by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray negative ionisation tandem-quadrupole mass-spectrometry. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) following absolute principal component score-multiple linear regression (APCS-MLR) was used for PFAS source appointments. Determinants of PFAS were explored through a MLR approach. A review of previous studies within the same period was conducted to compare with present levels.
    Results: Argentinean PFAS concentrations were the lowest worldwide, with PFOS (0.74 ng/mL) and PFOA (0.11 ng/mL) as the dominant substances. Detection frequencies largely aligned with the compared studies, indicating the worldwide PFAS distribution considering the restrictions. The PCA revealed region-specific loading patterns of two component groups of PFAS, a mixture of replaced and legacy substances in Ushuaia and long-chain in Salta. This might relate to a mix of non-diet and diet exposure in Ushuaia and diet in Salta. Region, age, lactation, parity, household members, migration, bottled water, and freshwater fish were among the determinants of various PFAS.
    Conclusion: This is the first study to monitor human PFAS exposure in Argentina. Maternal PFAS concentrations were the lowest observed worldwide in the same period. Exposure contributions are suggested to be affected by restrictions and substitutions. Given the limited population-based studies and the emergence of PFAS, it is essential to conduct further monitoring of PFAS in Argentina and South America.

    Abstract For many years in Russia, apatite ore mining has been associated with high levels of occupational morbidity. The aim of the study was to retrospectively assess occupational disease trends in Russian Arctic apatite miners. We analysed data from routine health screening of 2 649 underground apatite miners in 2007 and data of social-hygienic monitoring "Working conditions and occupational morbidity" in 2008-2020. In 2007, according to the results of routine health screening, 6 778 chronic diseases were diagnosed in 2 649 miners, the most prevalent being musculoskeletal (34.4%) and eye (16.0%) diseases. In the next 13 years, 572 occupational diseases were first diagnosed in 300 (11.3%) miners, most prevalent being musculoskeletal diseases (47.2%). The risk of developing occupational diseases in tunnellers exceeded that in all other miners, including timber-men (RR = 1.56; CI 1.06-2.30), vibration-loading machine operators (RR = 1.67; CI 0.99-2.80), drillers (RR = 1.51; CI 1.08-2.11) and blasters (RR = 2.12; CI 1.55-2.84). We conclude that ongoing modernisation of ore mining processes and medical preventive measures should include more effective health-improving interventions for underground apatite miners. Findings from the analysis of data can be used by health professionals and policy makers to address these problems.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to describe temporal trends in socio-demographic and lifestyle characteristics among delivering women in two Northern provinces of Russia from 1973 to 2017. Totally 161,730 births were registered in three birth registries. Changes in the distribution of maternal age, education, marital status, smoking during pregnancy were studied using Pearson's chi-squared tests and one-way ANOVA. The logistic regression models were used to assess factors, contributing to the variations in the prevalence of maternal smoking. The mean age of primiparous mothers increased from 22.1 years in 1973-1980 to 25.4 years in 2012-2017 (p < 0.001). The proportion of primiparous mothers with higher education increased from 26.2% in 2006 to 38.3% in 2017 (p < 0.001). The proportion of cohabiting primiparous women increased from 5.0% to 15.2% over the study period (p < 0.001). The proportion of mothers smoking during pregnancy decreased from 18.9% in 2006-2011 to 14.8% in 2012-2017 (p < 0.001). Downward in the prevalence of smoking was revealed in 2012-2017 compared to 2006-2011 (OR = 137.76; 95%CI:71.62-264.96, OR = 183.74; 95%CI:95.52-353.41, respectively). Over the past decades, women postpone childbearing until receiving higher education, continue living in cohabitation during pregnancy and smoke less.

    Abstract Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element and its deficiency in utero may affect fetus development and birth outcomes. The current study aimed to assess serum Se status at delivery and examine the possible association between Se levels and birth outcomes. The interaction of Se with selected essential and toxic elements as well as possible sex-dependent responses in utero were also evaluated. The negative association between Se levels and head circumference of neonates was evident in the total cohort (β = -0.164;
