Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) found in the environment, wildlife, food, water, house dust, human tissues and fluids may alter normal physiological activities during the human lifespan. While the levels of some POPs (polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs] and organochlorines [OCs]) in these matrices have decreased following their banning, others (brominated diphenyl ethers [BDEs]) have increased in recent years. In order to determine the longitudinal trend of specific POPs in human fetal tissues, early to mid-gestation fetal liver (n=52) and placental (n=60) tissues were obtained following elective abortions during 1998-2006 and were analyzed for selected BDEs, PCBs and OCs using gas chromatography¡Vmass spectroscopy …
