Under the Congressional Great Lakes Critical Programs Act of 1990, the health departments of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan formed a consortium to assess PCB and DDE exposure risks and reproductive effects of contaminated Great Lakes Sport-Caught Fish (GLSCF) consumption.
The limit of detection for DDE in the Michigan Department of Public Health Laboratory was 0.50 ng/mL.
Because GLSCF consumption contributes greatly to OC exposure, if a parent had eaten GLSCF, but not before the pregnancy of a given child being analyzed, for that child we assigned the parent the median PCB and DDE concentrations of the infrequent consumers.
The computer program checked if the peak for Dde I was contained in the complex peak mixture derived from the Dde I digest, considering a certain bandwidth.
Contamination of the Great Lakes has led to the bioaccumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fish, particularly the larger predator species prized by sport-fishers [ 1 2 3 ] . These compounds are synthetic organochlorines (OC) that, along with dichlorodiphenyl-dichloroethene (DDE), comprise the bulk of OC residues found in human tissues [ 4 ] , and some of the highest body burdens of PCBs in humans are found among fish consumers [ 5 6 7 8 ] . Consumption of these contaminated Great Lakes fish has been associated with several adverse reproductive outcomes including shortened menstrual cycle [ 9 ] , reduced fecundability [ 10 11 ] , reduced neonatal size [ 12 ] , and neurologic disorders [ 13 14 15 ] .
