“…DDT is rapidly metabolized to its main metabolite p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (DDE), and because of its chemical stability and lipophilicity, it bioaccumulates in the food chain and persists in the environment years after application (ATSDR, 2002). In Mexico, DDT was used until 1999 and concentrations of DDE are still detectable in populations not occupationally exposed (Torres and López, 2007). DDT is considered an endocrine disruptor due to its antiandrogenic properties (Kelce et al, 1997).…”

Background Due to its long-term persistence in the environment and its ability to cross the placental barrier, prenatal p,p′-ichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (DDE) exposure continues to be a public health concern. This study aimed to evaluate the association between prenatal DDE exposure and child growth, at birth and during the first year of life. Methods 253 pregnant women were recruited between January 2001 and June 2005 in a prospective cohort in Morelos, Mexico. Serum levels of DDE were measured during each trimester of pregnancy by gas chromatography with an electron capture detector. Using generalized mixed effects models, the association between DDE and child growth parameters (weight-for-age, length-for-age, weight-for-length, BMI-for-age, and head circumference-for-age Z-scores) from birth to 1 year of age was assessed. Maternal dietary intake was considered as covariable among others. Results DDE levels were 6.3 ± 2.8 ng/mL (first trimester), 6.6 ± 2.9 ng/mL (second trimester), and 7.6 ± 2.9 ng/mL (third trimester). After adjusting for potential confounder variables, no significant associations were observed with prenatal DDE exposure and each of the selected parameters. Conclusions Our results show no evidence of an association between prenatal DDE exposure and child growth during the first year of life.

“…DDT is almost completely metabolised and the greatest fraction is transformed into p , p '-DDE, with a small percentage remaining as o , p '-DDT 5. DDT and its metabolites are highly persistent and lipophilic compounds that bioaccumulate and increase in the food chain so that, even today, it is possible to detect residues in most human populations 6 7…”

In this documentary investigation, we review literature about the transdisciplinary perspective (TD) to generate knowledge, locating its origin, evolution and characteristic features. It is found that: i) This origin is located in France and the United States, although some characteristic features related to self-knowledge, participatory research and the unity of knowledge, were proposed before the creation of this TD term introduced in 1970. ii) The concept of transdisciplinarity has evolved over time involving a transition of vision towards the application of perspective to investigate. Switzerland was the first country to apply the transdisciplinarity in research in the 1990s. iii) The key world events that gave impetus to the transdisciplinarity are the world (1994) and Zurich (2000) congresses, as well as the special edition entitled “the foundation of Academy of Transdisciplinary Learning of Advanced Studies (ATLAS)” of the Journal "Futures" (2004) and the 10th anniversary edition of the Transdisciplinarity Journal of Engineering & Science (TJES) in 2010. iv) the main features of transdisciplinary research are: a) research for society and with society, i.e. participatory research, b) scientific research under systemic thinking, c) communication of results to the scientific community and disseminated to non-scientific population. v). The number of transdisciplinary research publications have increased over time, along with the quantity of authors per publication and citations thereof. Some contributions from the 90s were the most impactful due to the number of cites today. The transdisciplinary approach could be the best pathway to develop research in Latin American countries and the world, for solving the diverse problems of society.
