摘要: The Greenlandic Inuit have high blood concentrations of environmental persistent organic pollutants (POPs). High POP been associated with age, smoking and consumption marine mammals. Studies indicated that exposure to POPs during pregnancy may adversely affect fetal child development. To assess geographical differences in diet, lifestyle contaminant among pregnant women Greenland, samples questionnaire data were collected from 207 five regions (North, Disco Bay, West, South East). Blood analyzed for 11 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), 14 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 5 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 15 perfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) 63 metals. A trend higher intake mammals the East North was reflected by a n-3/n-6 fatty acid ratio. Participants region tended also terrestrial species. significant seabird seen West region. Significant regional found PCBs, OCPs, PFASs mercury, levels regions. significantly PCBs OCPs most In region, both selenium mercury. No difference observed PBDEs. mercury related traditional food. Compared earlier reports, decreased legacy POPs, Hg Pb perfluorooctane sulfonate perfluorooctanoic observed, but PFAS congeners perfluorohexane perfluorononanoic sustained. detection heavy metals maternal indicates these compounds possibly influencing
