A fast and reliable method for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated pesticides in human body fluids and tissues is presented. Sample clean-up and selective enrichment of analytes are carried out by liquid column chromatography without a prior solvent extraction step. Analytes are determined either by high-resolution capillary gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection, or by dual-column GC followed by electron-capture detection. A procedure is described for the simultaneous determination of environmental levels of the PCB congeners 28, 52, 101, 138, 153 and 180 in human cord serum. The method allows the simultaneous determination of chlorinated pesticides such as aldrin, DDT, DDE, BHC and HCB and is also applicable to other biological matrices, such as bone marrow or tissues.

D010573 Pesticide Residues Pesticides or their breakdown products remaining in the environment following their normal use or accidental contamination. Pesticide Residue,Residue, Pesticide,Residues, Pesticide
D011078 Polychlorinated Biphenyls Industrial products consisting of a mixture of chlorinated biphenyl congeners and isomers. These compounds are highly lipophilic and tend to accumulate in fat stores of animals. Many of these compounds are considered toxic and potential environmental pollutants. PCBs,Polychlorinated Biphenyl,Polychlorobiphenyl Compounds,Biphenyl, Polychlorinated,Biphenyls, Polychlorinated,Compounds, Polychlorobiphenyl
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA. The cord blood is blood contained in the umbilical vessels (UMBILICAL CORD) at the time of delivery.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
