Abstract

The aim of this study was to detect DDT and its metabolites, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethene (DDE) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDD), in blood and follicular fluid of infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization and the embryo transfer program. The accumulation of DDT, DDE and DDD in follicular fluid of 30 infertile women was confirmed. The concentrations of the compounds in blood were 1.7 - 5985 in follicular fluid and 3.5 - 35 229 ng/g fat, respectively.
