Pesticide Risk and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss in Females of Subhumid Region of India

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine the level of pesticides and their role in cases of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was designed as a case–control study. Gas chromatography was used to characterize the pesticide level in 70 cases and 70 controls. Cas...

description OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine the level of pesticides and their role in cases of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was designed as a case–control study. Gas chromatography was used to characterize the pesticide level in 70 cases and 70 controls. Case refers to women with RPL, whereas controls refer to women with full-term delivery. RESULTS: A higher level of pesticide, namely beta-hexachlorocyclohexane, malathion, chlorpyrifos, and fenvalerate was found in the case group as compared to control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that high exposure of pesticide (organochlorine and organophosphates) may increase the risk of RPL in females of the subhumid region of India.
