ORGANOCHLORINE COMPOUNDS ARE TOXIC COMPOUNDS AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS
HEXACHLOROBENZENE

Newborn with in-utero growth delay and skin hyperigmentation due to in-utero exposure to PCBs (Kyushu, Japan, 1968)
ORGANOCHLORINE COMPOUNDS WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE ENVIRONMENT NOR IN HUMAN
BODIES SIXTY YEARS AGO
THEREFORE
OUR METABOLISM IS NOT READY TO HANDLE THEM
(which is not the case for PAH)

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AT LOW CONCENTRATIONS?
WE NEED TO ESTIMATE WHAT ARE THE DELETERIOUS EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE AT LOW
AMOUNTS
BUT
FOR LONG PERIODS ENCOMPASSING ALL LIFE AND ALL GROWTH STAGES (INCLUDING IN UTERO
DEVELOPMENT)
Development of neural system in children
Decrease of brain cells with age
Small increases of cell losses (0.1 or 0.3% per year) may give rise to clinic emergencies at younger age. Levels of loss of 40% are probable causes of illness

HUMAN SERUM CONCENTRATIONS IN CONTROLS AND CASES OF EXOCRINE PANCREATIC CANCER WITH AND WITHOUT A MUTATION IN THE K-RAS GENE
INMA – INfancia y Medio Ambiente (Environment and
Childhood) is a NETWORK born in 2003 funded by the
Spanish Ministry of Health.
The project brings together different working groups
from different universities, research centers, hospitals
and Health administration.
INMA aims to study the role of the most important
environmental pollutants in air, water and diet and
their effects on child growth and development.
Overview
The INMA project aims to
Objectives
•To describe the degree of individual prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants present in the air and water, and the internal dose of chemicals during pregnancy and at birth
•To evaluate the impact of the exposure to different contaminants on infants’ growth, health and development
•To evaluate the role of diet and fatty acids on infants’ growth, health and development

Exposure to hexachlorobenzene during pregnancy and social behavior at age 4 years
Ribas-Fito et al., Environmental Health Perspectives, 115, 447-450 (2007)
Prenatal exposure to current concentrations of HCB is associated with a decrease in the Social Competence and an increase of the Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at preschooler ages.
These results suggest that some infants may be at risk from the developmental neurotoxicity of HCB due to relatively high concentrations of HCB detected in cord serum and breast milk from women in certain parts of the world.

Early exposure to DDE and asthma
Sunyer et al., Clinical and Experimental Allergy 36, 1236–1241 (2006)
Wheezing occurring at four (odds ratio = 1.13 (1.01-1.26) per each increase in 1 ng/ml) as well as asthma diagnosed at six (1.18 (1.01-1.3)) showed a statisticaly significant association with DDE measured at birth.
Early exposures to DDE seems to play a role in asthma, but not exposures occurring during breastfeeding or later

Children who were breastfed for more than 20 weeks had better cognitive performance regardless of their in utero exposure to DDT.
A linear dose response between breastfeeding and cognition was observed in all DDT groups.
Ribas-Fito et al., American Journal of Epidemiology, in press
Despite the possibility of harm from environmental contaminants in breast milk, breastfeeding for long periods should still be recommended as the best infant feeding method
Thyroid disruption and organochlorine compounds. Four-year-old children.
Alvarez-Pedrerol et al., Occupational and Environmental Medicine 65, 452-457 (2008)Alvarez-Pedrerol et al., Environment International 34, 737-740 (2008)
Background levels of OCs at four years-old children affect their thyroid function.
Children with higher levels of p,p’-DDT, β -HCH and PCBs (138, 153 and 118) had lower concentrations of T3, while freeT4 was only negatively associated with PCB-118.
As thyroid hormones are essential for normal brain development, the lower levels of T3 or free T4 observed in children with higher exposure to OCs may affect cognitive function.
Levels of PCB-153 and β-HCH in utero are positively related to TSH concentrations. Association between β-HCH and TSH confirmed in the Valencian cohort.
Levels of DDE in mothers are positively correlated to TSH and negatively to free T4.

Exposure to hexachlorobenzene and risk of overweight
Smink et al., Acta Pædiatrica 97, 1465-1469 (2008)
High exposure of HCB prenatal (level in cord blood > 1.03 ng/mL) is associated with an increase of BMI and overweight in girls and boys at age 6.5 years.
Children from normal weight mothers also presented an increased risk of having higher BMI with increasing concentrations of HCB in cord serum.
