“…Such primitive operations include, but are not limited to, stripping of metals in open pit acid baths, removing electronic components from circuit boards by heating over a grill, and recovering metals by burning cables in (or near) the cropland (Deng et al, 2007). Yet as a result of these operations and through leakage, evaporation, runoff, and leaching, many toxic chemicals, such as polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have been reported to be released into the local environmental and human matrices such as air (Deng et al, 2007), sediment (Wang et al, 2005;Luo et al, 2007), soil ( Liu et al, 2006;Zhao et al, 2008), cord blood , and milk ( Zhao et al, 2007a). These pollutants can be bioaccumulated in the aquatic and the terrestrial food chains and biomagnified in humans via food due to their lipophilicity (Zhao et al, 2007a,b).…”

“…In addition, studies have examined the exposure of infants to a variety of hazardous chemicals, as measured in umbilical cord serum, placentas, breastmilk, and meconium (Gomara et al, 2007;Suzuki, M. Nakano, & S. Nakano, 2005;Zhao, Xu, Li, Han, & Ling, 2007). In its report, Body Burden: The Pollution in Newborns, the Environmental Working Group (2005), a national research and advocacy organization, randomly examined the umbilical cords of 10 newborns and found 287 different chemicals, including pesticides that have been banned for more than 30 years.…”

“…[13][14][15] A concentração de PCBs em plasma sanguíneo de cordão umbilical é um ótimo indicador da exposição pré-natal, 16 pois os níveis de resíduos detectados no soro materno e no soro de cordão umbilical demonstram uma significante relação, confirmando sua eficiente transferência transplacentária. [16][17][18] Assim que entram no sistema sanguíneo fetal, os PCBs causam riscos à saúde dos fetos e recém-nascidos, os quais são reconhecidamente muito mais vulneráveis aos efeitos dos poluentes ambientais.…”

“…Em geral, os congêneres 138, 153 e 180 são os que possuem as maiores concentrações de resíduos detectadas. 8,14,15,17,21,22 Estes três congêneres, juntamente com os congêneres 28, 52, 101 e 118 são denominados "os sete indicadores", responsáveis pela maior parte da contaminação ambiental.…”
