A comparison of organochlorine insecticide contents in specimens of maternal blood, placenta, and umbilical-cord blood from stillborn and live-born cases.

Hexachlorocyclohexone (α‐, β‐, and γ‐HCH), aldrin, p,p'‐DDT, p,p'‐DDD, and p,p'‐DDE have been quantified in specimens of maternal blood, placenta, and umbilical‐cord blood from women experiencing stillbirth and live birth. Specimens of stillbirth cases were found to have higher organochlorine insecticide contents as compared to matched controls. The levels of aldrin and p,p'‐DDT in all the three specimens of stillbirth cases were found to differ significantly from the controls. A significant correlation was noticed between maternal blood and placenta for total HCH, lindane (γ‐HCH), and p,p'‐DDT while in the cases of maternal blood and umbilical‐cord blood, aldrin, p,p'‐DDT, and total DDT were found to be significantly correlated. These findings are discussed on the basis of experimental evidence in animals and in humans.
