Organochlorine and heavy metals in newborns: Results from the Flemish Environment and Health Survey (FLEHS 2002-2006)
To collect regional information on internal levels of pollutants in humans in Flanders, 1196 mother-child pairs were systematically recruited in 2002-2003 via 25 maternities across Flanders. Cd, Pb, PCB congeners 118, 170, 138, 153 and 180, p,p'-DDE - a key metabolite of DDT- and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) were measured in cord blood or plasma. Cd was detected in 64% of the samples (geometric mean 0.21 mu g/L cord blood). p,p'-DDE (110 ng/g plasma lipids) and Pb (14.7 mu g/L blood), were measurable in nearly all samples. The individual PCB congeners could be detected in 40 to 81% of the newborns... Mehr ...
