Abstract
⺠There is no placental barrier against transfer of organochlorine pesticides across the maternal-fetal axis. ⺠Transplacentally transferred organochlorine pesticides are associated with a reduced birth size of the offspring. ⺠Amongst the organochlorine pesticides, HCH was most consistently associated with decreased birth size of the neonate.
