BACKGROUND: Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POP) may affect both the female and
male reproductive system in animals as well as in humans. METHODS: Blood samples were …

reproductive function but direct evidence in humans is very limited. Methods Fertility was …

They cross the placental barrier thereby resulting in in utero exposure of the developing
fetus. The objective of this study was to investigate whether maternal serum concentrations …

Background The biopersistent organochlorine pollutants dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene
(p, p′-DDE), hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be …

Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) have been suggested to have negative effects
on a number of hormonal systems. Several studies performed retrospectively have reported …

Background: Inconsistent results have been found in previous human studies on male
reproductive toxicity of persistent organochlorine pollutants. The majority of studies have …

BACKGROUND: During the last decades, there has been concern that exposure to
endocrine disruptors, such as persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs), may contribute to …

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may affect the female reproductive system in both animals
and humans. In Sweden, a main exposure source to PCBs is consumption of fatty fish from …

Background The study is part of a collaborative project (Inuendo), aiming to assess the
impact of dietary persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) on human fertility. The aims …
