Urine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3) pyridyl-1-butanol and cotinine in Alaska native postpartum women and neonates comparing smokers and smokeless tobacco users.

CONCLUSION: Correlations between maternal and neonatal biomarkers of tobacco toxicant exposure vary, dependent on tobacco product use. SIGNIFICANCE: This study provides novel data on biomarkers of tobacco exposure among postpartum AN women and their neonates. The results could be useful to guide future epidemiological studies of health risks associated with use of various tobacco products during pregnancy. PMID: 30325719 [PubMed - in process]
