Background: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), and
dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) are persistent chlorinated pesticides with …

Background Exposure to persistent organic pollutants, including polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides, is widespread among the general population. There …

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are persistent endocrine disruptors. OCPs cross the
placenta; this prenatal exposure has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes …

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) such as dichlorodimethyltrichloroethane (DDT) are
present and ubiquitous in the environment due to their resilient nature. DDT is a prevalent …

Background: Some chemicals appear to have hormonally active properties in animals, but
data in humans are sparse. Therefore, we examined ovarian function in relation to …

Based on observations in animals, there is an increasing evidence that a number of
persistent organochlorine pollutants can alter the endocrine homeostasis, this resulting in …

Investigators often employ a single cross-sectional measure of in utero exposure when
evaluating associations between organochlorine (OCs) pesticides/metabolites and adverse …

Prenatal exposure to environmental endocrine disrupters has been postulated to cause
adverse effects on male reproductive health. Exposure to organochlorine pesticides with anti …

BACKGROUND: Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that,
even at low doses, causes destruction of ovarian primordial germ cells in experimental …

Objective To investigate the possible association between birth size or gestational length
and maternal serum concentrations of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in a population exposed …
