| The Faroese traditionally hunted pilot whales, and some still eat the animals' blubber, which is heavily contaminated with PCBs. To take advantage of this opportunity a group of Faroese investors banded together in 2005 to form FaroeJet with a single Avro RJ ideally suited to operate from Vagar Airport, which is the only airport on the islands, with its difficult approach and short runway. The leader of the Faroe Islands study, Philippe Grandjean, an adjunct professor of environmental health at the Harvard School of Public Health, and his colleagues reported in the November 1997 issue of Neurotoxicology and Teratology that 7-year-old Faroese children had significant cognitive deficits and neurological changes after prenatal exposure to methylmercury. |
