Prenatal and Postnatal PCB-153 and <i>p</i> , <i>p</i> ′-DDE Exposures and Behavior Scores at 5–9 Years of Age among Children in Greenland and Ukraine

Abstract

Prenatal and early postnatal exposures to <i>p,p</i>'-DDE and PCB-153 were associated with a higher prevalence of abnormal scores for conduct and hyperactivity at 5–9 y of age in our study population. These findings provide further support for the importance of minimizing organochlorine exposures to young children and to women of childbearing age. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP553.
