Abstract

Introduction: Pesticides are widely used and large quantities of them are dispersed in the environment and are subsequently found in air, water, soil and food sources. According to previous surveys, Over 27,000 tones of pesticides were used in Iran during 2000-01. Beside the legal usage of some pesticides, other active ingredients are imported illegally some of which are banned in Iran including Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) which are carcinogenic and extremely harmful to humans and the environment. In addition, PREGNANT WOMEN exposure to pesticides in the environment is a major public health concern, since a majority of pesticides contain neurotoxicants. So fetus is subjected to a greater risk compared to adults, by toxic effects of these chemicals due to rapid state of growth and development of its brain. It is likely most of the maternal exposures to environmental pesticides are subtle and result in little or no recognizable effects in PREGNANT WOMEN. Yet, serious concerns have been raised about their adverse effects on the fetus and their potential role in subsequent developmental, learning and behavioral difficulties in children. Moreover, chromosomal abnormalities and DNA damages have been observed in infants whose mothers have had antenatal exposure to pesticides. Nowadays body fluids and tissues are commonly used to evaluate human exposure to some chemicals. However, all of them have some limitations. In this way HAIR has been identified as a suitable alternative and indicator of short (current) and long-term exposure to organochlorine compounds. The relatively high percentage of lipids in the HAIR (3.5-4%) and similar concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (reported relative to the amount of lipid) makes it a suitable matrix for analysis of persistent organic pollutants.
