CASE STUDIES

Between 2010 and 2019, PAN UK and its partners conducted health monitoring surveys in ten countries and questioned over 2,000 respondents. While these surveys have followed the basic approach outlined above, they have each been adapted to reflect local conditions, and/or to collect additional data on specific parameters – for example, examining how factors such as age, gender or ethnic group affect exposure patterns, or identifying practices that can lead to higher incidences of poisoning.
