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

Conclusion:
Prenatal and early postnatal exposures to p,p′-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
