Biomonitoring of Organochlorine Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Paired Placental Tissue and Umbilical Cord Blood in IUGR and Control Pregnancies
Persistent organic pollutants, such as organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), can persist in the human body and reach the fetus via transplacental transfer. In this exploratory pilot case-control biomonitoring study, we measured selected OCPs and PCBs in paired placental tissue and umbil...
