Organochlorines in Chinese Women: Determinants of Serum Concentrations

Abstract:

People are frequently exposed to various environmental chemicals such as organic pollutants, heavy metals, etc. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the accumulation level of organochlorines in women from Qiqihaer city in china. Of the 160 people investigated, 113 sujects were detected with different serum levels of organochlorine pesticides (range: 0.042 - 33.072 μg/L). Moreover, the results indicated that there was high serum level of accumulated organochlorines pesticides of women in Chinese, and the serum concentrations of organochlorines pesticides was associated with age.
