However, defending his study in an interview with IntraFish yesterday
afternoon, David Carpenter of the State University of New York at Albany
said that the differences between wild and farmed salmon PCBs levels are
not insignificant. ÒI donÕt agree with [Gallo] and I donÕt think others would
agree with him either.Ó
Carpenter said that the EPA risk assessment model that he and his
colleagues used to determine that salmon posed a health risk is a
well-respected and sound one. ÒIt is not just something that we made up. It
is a time-tested measureÉitÕs a yard stick that we have.Ó</description>

<description>20.1.2004 Jouni Tuomisto
En ole ehtinyt aiemmin lokia kirjoittaa, joten nyt yleiskuvaus mallista. Viljelylohi on tehty arvioimaan, onko Hites et al (Science 9.1.2004) riskinarviointi hyvin tehty. Ensikommenttina KTL:ssŠ oli se, ettŠ kalan terveyshyšdyt on unohdettu. NiinpŠ rakensimme mallin, joka 1) kŠyttŠŠ samaa EPAn riskimallia saasteiden terveyshaittojen laskemiseen kuin Hites (PCB:n, dieldriinin ja toksafeenin (mutta ei dioksiinien) aiheuttama yhdistetty syšŠriski olettaen additiivisuuden ja linearised multistage-mallin eli suoraan kŠyttŠmŠllŠ EPAn CSF-arvoja) ja 2) laskee myšs omega-3-rasvahappojen tuoman hyšdyn sydŠnkuolemariskiin.
Vertailu tehtiin 1) olettamalla lohensyšntiŠ 0.25 - 32 amerikkalaista annosta kuukaudessa ja laskemalla syšpŠriski ja/tai sydŠnhyšty sekŠ 2) olettamalla jokin lohensyšnti (esim. 20 g/d) ja lisŠksi jotain oletuksia muista omega-3-lŠhteistŠ sekŠ niiden muutoksista jos lohensyšnti muuttuisi.
Vaikutuksen lisŠksi tehtiin argumenttianalyysi (oma moduli) jossa katsottiin importance analysis eli rank-korrelaatio lŠhtšmuuttujien ja lopputuleman vŠlille. TŠssŠ oli mukana erilaisia pŠŠtšksiŠ, mm. pitŠisikš katsoa saasteiden syšpŠhaittaa vai nettovaikutusta?, PitŠisikš katsoa terveysvastetta lainkaan vai pelkkŠŠ altistusta? ja MillŠ viljelty lohi pitŠisi korvata? PŠŠtškset otettiin mukaan analyysiin siten, ettŠ kullekin pŠŠtšsvaihtoehdolle oletettiin sama todennŠkšisyys, ja ne otettiin mukaan satunnaismuuttujina (ikŠŠn kuin me yrittŠisimme arvioida, mikŠ on ŠŠnestyksen tulos kun tŠstŠ ŠŠnestetŠŠn). TŠhŠn liittyen jŠin pohtimaan sitŠ, pitŠisikš meidŠn olettaa pienempi todennŠkšisyys huonoille vaihtoehdoille (kuten epŠtodennŠkšisille presidenttiehdokkaille annetaan vŠhemmŠn aikaa televisiossa) mutta en pŠŠtynyt tŠssŠ mihinkŠŠn lopputulokseen, ja niin tasajako jŠi malliin.
LisŠksi on tehty VOI-analyysi (oma moduli). TŠssŠ yritin rakentaa VOI-funktiota, joka olisi suoraan laskenut mielenkiinnon kohteena olevan tuloksen (helpottaisi mallinrakennusta jatkossa ja tekisi erilaisten VOIn laskemisen kŠtevŠksi), mutta ongelmaksi muodostui se, ettŠ mean-funktio toimi oikein vain, kun se laskettiin variablesta. Jos yritti laskea sen tilapŠisestŠ, solmun sisŠllŠ olevasta muuttujasta, tuloksena oli yleensŠ mid. NiinpŠ tyydyttiin laskemaan homma kŠsipelillŠ kuten Particle VOI -mallissa.
Conclusions from Hites 2004 sisŠltŠŠ sitaatteja ja argumentteja keskustelusta, joka on Hitesin myštŠ kŠynnistynyt. What should be the scope of the assessment oli aikeissa olla moduli, josta eri pŠŠtšsvaihtoehdot olisivat sinne kirjatun argumentoinnin seurauksena nousseet, mutta sitŠ ei ollut aikaa tyšstŠŠ kovin pitkŠlle.
Confounder analysis -moduli sisŠltŠŠ pohdintaa siitŠ, millaiset tekijŠt voivat vaikuttaa Hitesin lopputulokseen ja kvalitatiivista argumentointia niiden mahdollisista vaikutuksista tulosten tulkintaan.
Help on yksinkertaisesti kopio Help v4 mallista.
20.1. alkoi ongelmaksi tulla se, ettŠ malli ršnsysi liikaa, ja oli hankalaa saada indeksit tŠsmŠŠmŠŠn lŠhtšarvojen ja lopputuloksen kesken. NiinpŠ pŠŠtin tehdŠ uuden version 3, josta kaikki ršnsyt on poistettu ja jonka tarkoituksena on toimia mallina Science-artikkelia varten. Kaikki laajemmat tarkastelut siis sŠŠstetŠŠn mallin seuraaviin versioihin. NiinpŠ versio 2:een jŠtetŠŠn kaikki ršnsyt, josta niitŠ sitten voi tarpeen mukaan kopioida takaisin kŠytšssŠ olevaan malliversioon. NŠin ehkŠ pysyy selvŠnŠ se, mitŠ Science-vastineessa on ja mitŠ ei ole.
Fishing and farming, Arguments on fish pollutants, Total pollutant exposure, What should be the scope of risk assessment?, Conclusions from Hites 2004, ja Confounder analysis ovat semmoiset modulit jotka nyt poistetaan versiosta 3. Samoin poistetaan pŠŠmodulista solmut Risk or net health effect?, Acceptable risk ja Health effects or exposures? sekŠ nŠiden input nodet.

Versiosta 3 siis on tehty riisuttu versio Science-juttua varten. Lue tarkemmin Loki v 2:sta. Nyt versiosta 3 poistetaan aiemmin kuvatun lisŠksi Other parts -modulista indeksejŠ, joita ei kŠytetŠ missŠŠn. NŠmŠ ovat Viljelyalue, Kalastusalue, Ostokaupunki, Lohilaji ja Saaste.
Argument analysis -modulista poistetaan solmut We should not consider concentrations..., Acceptable exposure, Va2, Health or exposure?, What is salmon replacement?, Va5, Va3, Va3 inputs, Va3 importance eli kaikki solmut. TŠrkeyssolmu luodaan uudelleen, mutta nyt se voidaan tehdŠ suoraan Outcome-solmulle ilman indeksimuunnoksia. NiinpŠ koko Argument analysis -moduli poistetaan ja asia siirretŠŠn VOIs-moduliin, joka nimetŠŠn uudelleen VOI and importance analysis.
Food intake -modulista poistetaan Salmon consumption, Salmon replacement, Food change, Salmon amount, Oil increase, Food intake, Wild salmon compensation, Va1, Food_rec, Source1. Eli kaikki solmut keskittyvŠt nyt vain loheen, eikŠ muita omega-3-lŠhteitŠ huomioida. Ne tulevat mukaan malliin raja-arvossa, joka kuvaa hyšdyllisen lisŠsaannin rajaa ja siis sisŠltŠŠ absoluuttisen fysiologisen rajan, josta on vŠhennetty muusta ravinnosta tuleva mŠŠrŠ. TŠmŠ solmu tehdŠŠn Annosvastemoduliin.
VOIs-modulista poistetaan Va16, Va12, VOI, VOI1 ja VOI-laskenta tehdŠŠn suoraan Outcome-solmusta.
21.1.2004 Jouni Tuomisto
Malli muuttui eilen siten, ettŠ nyt lasketaan VOI kahdelle eri kysymykselle: pitŠisikš suositella viljellyn lohen enimmŠissaanniksi 1 annos/kk ja pitŠisikš rajoittaa enemmŠn kalanrehun saastepitoisuuksia. NŠmŠ kaksi nostetaan esiin, koska edellinen on suora vastine Hitesin ym. argumenttiin, ja jŠlkimmŠinen on korostamassa sitŠ, ettŠ asetettu kysymys mŠŠrŠŠ sen, mikŠ tieto on tŠrkeŠŠ ja mikŠ ei.
Other parts -modulista poistetaan solmut Acceptable exposure increase ja Amount or replacement, ja ARL siirretŠŠn Fish advirories -moduliin sekŠ Potency Exposure-response function for pollutant risk -moduliin. NŠistŠ moduleista poistetaan vastaavat aliakset.
Unit- ja Description-kentŠt pŠivitetŠŠn koko mallissa, ja viitteitŠ listŠtŠŠn sikŠli kuin ne ovat helposti kŠsillŠ. Kuitenkin viitteet on vielŠ pistettŠvŠ kuntoon, nyt muotoilut eivŠt ole kunnossa.</description>

This version is an update of the model that was used for calculating the results for Tuomisto paper submitted to Science on January 28, 2004. Only argumentation and comments have been clarified and added. No substantive changes have been made to definitions. The descriptions of the variables described in the Table 1 in 'Supportive online material' have not been changed. Therefore, this version produces the results that were presented in the manuscript.
The main conclusions of this study were added as arguments on the top level of the model. The argumentation about the pollutant model selection was clarified (see module Fish advisories).

<description>Dose-response function comes from secondary prevention trials reviewed by Din 2004 Table 1. The relative risk reductions are divided by the omega3 exposure in each study. A continuous distribution is used, and each study result is used as a quintile point for the distribution. Another review is Marckmann and Gronbaek 1999 that concluded that 0.6-0.9 g/d of omega-3 results in 40-60 % decrease in coronary heart disease mortality. The low estimate from this result was used (40% per 0.9 g/d).</description>

<chance name="Benefit_limit">
<title>Highest omega3 dose with health benefit</title>
<units>g/d</units>
<description>Describes the amount of fish that is still beneficial when added to diet. After this limit, no extra benefit is assumed from omega-3 fatty acids. The value reflects both the physiological need of omega-3 and the current intake of omega-3 from other sources than salmon. Both parts of the estimate are complicated, and the latter varies from country to country. This might have implications to the decision if we could give country-wise recommendations of feed regulations. The estimate is based on author judgement. A rough idea about the magnitude comes from Din 2004, where the trials had 0.85 - 1.8 g/d of omega-3 with benefit but 3.5 g/d showed no benefit in a small trial where the population used reasonable amount of fish anyway. If the physiological limit is lower, the slope of the exposure-response function should be steeper. Another data comes from Albert 1998: the benefit may be limited to omega-3 doses <4.9 g/mo = 0.16 g/d. Markmann and Gronbaek concluded that 0.6-0.9 g/d is beneficial.</description>

<title>Read about attributes</title>
<description>This node describes the use of attributes. All attributes should be used as described in the manuals of Analytica. Exceptions are described here. This description is written for those who read as well as for those who write pyrkilo diagrams.
Class: Shows the type of the node. Some of the variable classes have a special meaning in pyrkilo diagrams. These are presented in Help for pyrkilo diagrams module.
Identifier: Name of the node that is used in definitions. This must be unique. When drafting a model, use automatic identifiers. Only when there is no expectation of many changes in node Titles, you can streamline all identifiers. Try to use short names and the same structure as in the Title. E.g. if title is Long-range transport, use identifier Lrt.
Units: The unit of the value calculated in the node. Should always be defined when the node is a part of causal diagram. If the variable described by the node is dimensionless, '-' should be used. If an explicit unit is not (yet) defined, a description about how the variable could be measured should be used. E.g. 'mass', 'rate', 'age'.
Title: The title that is shown on the node in diagram mode. First use a working name that roughly describes the contents. After your model is stabilised, you can rename nodes to better represent the final essence. Try to avoid intermediate nodes where it is difficult to understand what the outcome means; instead, combine consequent nodes so that the outcome is an understandable (measurable) variable.
Description: A free-text area for describing the contents of the node. All nodes should be explicitly described and justified in the Description so that a user is able to get an idea of the node without looking at the Definition. If the definiton changes remarkably between versions, it is good to describe this and use dates and user's name for clarity (in a similar manner as in Log nodes).
Definition: This defines what is calculated in this node. If the node is a non-numerical argument, it should contain a formula that refers to all nodes that are used to justify the claim; it this case, the numerical result will be nonsense. Pay attention to indexes: all important indexes must be included, but try to work with as few as possible. Use the ';' operator to chop the syntax into pieces.
Check: Criteria to check the values entered.
Reference: This contains a detailed information about the source of the data. The article or book should be found with this data. When building a model, there should be an accompanying RefMan file with the same name but a different extension. This file contains the full information about each reference cited in the model. The name and path of the RefMan file must be mentioned in the Reference of the model. If there is a relevant internet page or a network file, its path can be added here. Analytica 3.0 understands html-code and makes these links clickable. E.g. this is a link to the <a href=http://www.lumina.com>Lumina home page</a>. You can download Analytica Player from there to browse these models.</description>

<title>C: Traffic PM increases cardiopulm mortality</title>
<description>Hoek et al (Lancet 2002) found out in a cohort study that a higway near home was a risk factor for overall and cardiopulmonary mortality. The study was well designed and performed, and the results are convincing, althought the risk estimates were large. However, the exposure estimation was based on the vicinity of a major road and black smoke and nitric dioxide ambient concentrations. The current knowledge tends to associate especially fine particles (PM) with cardiopulmonary mortality, and in this study the exposure measure clearly was an indicator of traffic-related PM. However, other explanations exist as well, and e.g. noise was not ruled out as a confounder.
Taken together, the study increases the plausibility of PM being causally linked to cardiopulmonary mortality.</description>

<description>Here we show how to describe a complicated reasoning starting with different kinds of data and ending up with a claim. This follows the ideas of Stephen Toulmin (Uses of Argument, Cambridge University Press, 1958). In a simple case or drafting phase it is enough to create an argument by joining a piece of data to the claim. A claim node is often called an Argument node, but it should be remembered, that a full argument includes the reasoning in addition to the outcome. Instead of using several nodes to describe the reasoning, as is done here, it is often convenient to write it down inside the argument node, in description attribute (see 'C: Traffic PM increases cardiopulm mortality'). Note that the arrows usually point from the model to the claim. The logic of this is that the model is seen as a description of reality. And the reality affects the claim, not vice versa.
- Data (D) or premises describes the information that supports the claim.
- Warrant (W) makes the argument from data to claim a legitimate one. Often it is not explicitly mentioned in discussion, but it should be described in a pyrkilo unless it is obvious.
- Backing (B) contains some background information needed for warrant, and often it is practical to combine these two.
- Qualifier (Q) describes the strength of the argument.
- Rebuttal (R) defines the scope when the argument is valid.</description>

In a well-built model, the nuisance parameters are cancelled out before the outcome, so that they do not affect the result given the data used. E.g., we may want to model the human exposure to traffic emissions. We have an estimate about the relative contributions of the most important sources to the exposure, but we don't have absolute values from fate and dispersion models.

<description>Non-causal nodes are used when the relation between nodes is not causal. Ice cream consumption and drowning accidents are correlated (at least in Finland). One is not a cause of the other, but both are affected by the outside temperature during summer. Non-causal connections can be used in models for deducting values for one node when the other is known. A typical example of this is a top-down model, where we may have information on 1) total concentration of a pollutant and 2) source contribution of certain emission sources (as a fraction of total concentration). The source contribution is not a causal variable, it is merely an index of all (unknown) causal variables, but it can be used to estimate the concentration caused by a particular emission source.</description>

It is therefore used as a stand alone model. However, it may be a good idea to embed it into each model using Copy (not Link).

<title>Introduction to pyrkilo diagrams</title>
<description>Pyrkilo diagram method (or structured deliberation as it is sometimes called) has been developed to facilitate the Science-Policy Interface.
There is a need for methods facilitating the flow of information and understanding between science and policy. The principle is to describe a risk situation in a formal manner. Pyrkilo is an enhanced causal diagram that contains items along a causal pathway (or network) from e.g. abatement strategies to emissions to dispersion to exposure to effects. It has been designed to describe also other than causal connections such as non-causal reasoning, values, preferences, and arguments.
These diagrams use Analytica(TM) platform, a graphical Monte Carlo simulation program. It is based on nodes (or variables or objects). They are used to describe and define all the pieces needed for a description of the situation under scrutiny.
Many nodes are used as described in Analytica manuals. However, there are also special colours and shapes representing features that are important for pyrkilo diagrams. See Description of each node for more details. You can see the definitions and descriptions by clicking or double-clicking the nodes.</description>

<description>Understanding of a particular risk develops simultaneously at various levels and using differently structured methods. At one end there is a "discussion layer": political and public discussions about risks of a hazard with a wide interest on e.g. economical consequences of available decision options, public health, and social justification equity. This discussion is sometimes poorly structured and does not give scientists or risk assessors clear questions that could be answered by scientific methods. At the other end there is a "modelling layer": models dealing with specific questions such as air concentrations of a pollutant from a specific source or risk-benefit analyses of particular actions. The models are complex and use several assumptions that are not abvious to outsiders.
There is a need for methods facilitating the flow of information and understanding between the existing layers. Pyrkilo (from the Finnish word pyrkiŠ, to aim at) diagrams aim at offering an interface between the two disciplines. The principle is to describe a risk situation in a formal manner. It is an enhanced causal diagram that contains items along the causal pathway (or network) from e.g. emissions to dispersion to exposure to effects. It has been designed to describe also other than causal connections such as values, preferences, and arguments.
The pyrkilo method has several objecitves. The structure is relatively easily understandable and readable. It has a basic structure similar to but simpler than mathematical causal models. Translation into a natural language or mathematical model is relatively easy, as is required from an interface. The diagram is fast to build with little data, and the critical parts of the diagram can subsequently be developed into a full-scale model. It is easy to expand into new areas, as the political discussion proceeds. Because of its structured and formal nature, it requires that many assumptions are made explicit unlike in political rhetoric, and therefore it is easier to identify possibly illogical or conflicting issues. It can be used to explore the validity or importance of an aspect before it is brought into the other discipline of heavy modelling or political discourse.

<description>ÒWeÕre telling people that if they want to reduce their risk of cancer, they should not eat more than one meal of farmed salmon a month,Ó Carpenter said.
He added that the cancer risk from the toxins effectively cancels out the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids found in farmed salmon, which have not been proven to prevent or reduce the risk of cancer. ÒThere are other places to get omega-3s - wild salmon, other fish, canola oil, flaxseed oil,Ó Carpenter said.</description>

<description>Intake of farmed and wild salmon after the two decisions (regulate fish feed pollutants / recommend restrictions for farmed salmon use) has been made. Although market salmon exists in the index, it is not used in this version of the model. Wild salmon use after restricting farmed salmon use has a triangular probability distribution. Min assumes the same relative decrease as in farmed salmon; mode assumes no change; max assumes that wild salmon intake increases so much that it totally compensates the decrease in farmed salmon use. Estimates are based on author judgement. The wild salmon production capacity is probably much than the max used for the variable. This overestimation causes bias towards smaller costs due to salmon use restrictions.</description>

<description>Triangular probability distribution for concentrations indexed by salmon type AND THE THREE REGIONS based on data from Hites 2004. Min is the minimum of Hites, Max is the maximum of Hites, and Mode is the average of Hites. Currently not used, but probably we should look at European values, because the consumption and population data comes from Europe.</description>

Description.abstract		In their Report ÒGlobal assessment of organic contaminants in farmed salmon,Ó R. A. Hites and co-workers analyzed wild and farmed salmon samples from North and South America and Europe for organic pollutants (9 Jan. 2004, p. 226). The authors conclude that, because of chemical contaminants, farmed salmon should not be eaten more often than 0.25 to 1 times per month. However, the model used does not take into account any beneficial effects of eating fish. We analyzed both risks and benefits. We also performed a value-of-information analysis to see which uncertainties were relevant for decision-making. This is the version 4 of the model calculating risks and benefits of farmed salmon.
