Economic evaluation of health consequences of prenatal methylmercury exposure in France

Table 2 Estimated IQ losses for the selected HHg cut-off points range in the three samples with the linear model

		National sample			Brittany sample			Loire Atlantique sample
HHg concentrations ranges (μg/g)		[0.58;1.00]	[1.00;2.50]	[2.50;2.74]	[0.58;1.00]	[1.00;2.50]	[2.50;3.02]	[0.58;1.00]	[1.00;2.50]	[2.50;3.66]
Loss of IQ point	From 0.58	0.20	0.89	1.00	0.20	0.89	1.13	0.20	0.89	1.43
	From 1.00		0.70	0.81		0.70	0.94		0.70	1.24
	From 2.50			0.11			0.24			0.54

The Table2 presents the IQ losses, for the linear model, the upper bound value per segment from the three cut-off points (0.58, 1.0 and 2.5 μg/g) for the 2008 birth cohort assuming exposure distributions based on the three study samples.
