Internal exposure to hazardous substances of persons from various continents: investigations on exposure to different organochlorine compounds

Abstract: Organochlorine compounds exist worldwide due to their extensive use. There are, however, regional differences for the various substance groups, which during biological monitoring are seen in the different background exposures of the general population. Particularly characteristic are markedly higher levels of DDE in plasma from the refugees compared with the German population.

“…They may be influenced by environmental exposure levels in a given country, the confounding factors (smoking, kind of food consumed), changes due to reduced emission (e.g. lead), improved control of the contamination that may occur during sampling 63) , better analytical procedures and internal or external quality control of the determinations. Nonetheless, these data may be useful at a local level.…”

“…The results of biological monitoring can be used for evaluating the background contamination or the trends regarding contamination in different countries. On the international level, they were used to compare internal exposure to organochlorine compounds 63) or the trends in the concentration of dioxins in breast milk in the European countries 64) . The application of biological monitoring can also confirm the effectiveness of the technical solutions aimed at reducing environmental exposure on the local scale in a country as was the case for lead blood levels in children.…”

“…Serum/plasma concentrations of organochlorines among women are associated with personal attributes such as food habits, age, body mass index (BMI), breast-feeding, and place of residence (Laden et al 1999;Rylander et al 1997;Schildkraut et al 1999;Schmid et al 1997). The lifestyle/medical factors studied so far, however, can explain only a minor part of the interindividual variation in serum concentrations in epidemiologic studies.…”

“…In anderen deutschen Studien ergaben sich ähnliche Befunde [11,16,27,35,36], wobei der Effekt des Geschlechtes nicht immer in allen Altersgruppen gleich stark ausgeprägt ist und in Abhängigkeit von unterschiedlichen Ernährungsgewohn-heiten variiert.Im Projekt Beobachtungsgesundheitsämter werden nur bei HCB nehmer an, in Mittel-, Nord-oder Westeuropa geboren zu sein, so wurden im Mittel höhere HCB-und Summe-PCBGehalte (Σ-138+-153+-180) im Blut (0,5 µg HCB/l und 1,6 µg Σ-PCB/l) nachgewiesen als bei Angabe von Geburtsorten im ehemaligen Ostblock oder in üb-rigen Ländern, hauptsächlich Mittelmeeranrainer (0,3 µg HCB/l und 1,0 µg Σ-PCB/l), wohingegen die DDE-Gehalte im Blut im Mittel niedriger sind (Geburtsort in Mittel-, Nord-oder Westeuropa: 1,6 µg/l; übrige Regionen: 2,4 µg/l) [17]. Vergleichbare Befunde wurden auch in anderen Studien erhoben [37]. Die HCB-Gehalte im Blut der Kinder im industriellen Ballungsraum Neckarstadt-West (Median: 0,12 µg/l) und in Kehl als Verdichtungsraum im ländlichem Raum (Median: 0,10 µg/l) liegen im Mittel signifikant (p<0,01 und p<0,001) niedriger als in dem ländlichen Raum Aulendorf/Bad Waldsee (Median: 0,17 µg/l).…”
