The aim of this study was to assess the levels of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) in the blood of children living in the southeastern region of Mexico. In this study, we found high levels of DDT and its principal metabolite (DDE) in the blood of children residing in the communities studied. The levels of total DDT found in our study ranged from 4,676.4 ng/g lipid to 64,245.2 ng/g lipid. All of the children in the study had detectable levels of DDT and/or DDE. In conclusion, our data indicate that children living within the study areas are exposed to high levels of DDT and DDE. Moreover, these results can be used as a trigger to revisit local policies on environmental exposures.
本研究旨在评估生活在墨西哥东南部地区的儿童血液中的滴滴涕(DDT)和滴滴伊(DDE)含量。在本研究中,我们发现居住在研究社区的儿童血液中存在高水平的 DDT 及其主要代谢物(DDE)。我们研究中发现的总 DDT 水平范围从 4676.4ng/g 脂质到 64245.2ng/g 脂质。研究中的所有儿童均检测到 DDT 和/或 DDE 的水平。总之,我们的数据表明,生活在研究区域内的儿童暴露于高水平的 DDT 和 DDE 中。此外,这些结果可作为重新审视当地环境暴露政策的触发因素。
