Abstract
⺠ARA and DHA are vital for neonatal development. Lipophilic dioxins (PCDD/F)/PCB may hypothetically contaminate food fats. ⺠Placental associations between these compounds were investigated in a pilot study of 34 pregnant women from Taiwan. ⺠ARA and DHA were unrelated to PCDD or PCB, and slightly decreased as PCDF increased. ⺠These pilot data indicate women with higher ARA or DHA status are not at risk of excess tissue dioxin accumulation.
