Journal ArticleDOI
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and related perfluorinated compounds in human maternal and cord blood samples: assessment of PFOS exposure in a susceptible population during pregnancy.
Koichi Inoue,Fumio Okada,Rie Ito,Shizue Kato,Seiko Sasaki,Sonomi Nakajima,Akiko Uno,Yasuaki Saijo,Fumihiro Sata,Yoshihiro Yoshimura,Reiko Kishi,Hiroyuki Nakazawa +11 more
TL;DR: The study revealed that human fetuses in Japan may be exposed to relatively high levels of FOCs, and found any significant correlations between PFOS concentration in maternal and cord blood samples and age bracket, birth weight, or levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone or free thyroxine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations between Prenatal Exposure to Perfluorinated Chemicals and Reduced Fetal Growth
Noriaki Washino,Yasuaki Saijo,Seiko Sasaki,Shizue Kato,Susumu Ban,Kanae Konishi,Rie Ito,Ayako Nakata,Yusuke Iwasaki,Koichi Saito,Hiroyuki Nakazawa,Reiko Kishi +11 more
TL;DR: In utero exposure to relatively low levels of PFOS was negatively correlated with birth weight and no correlation between PFOA levels and birth weight was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Prenatal Exposure to Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Dioxins on Mental and Motor Development in Japanese Children at 6 Months of Age
Sonomi Nakajima,Yasuaki Saijo,Shizue Kato,Seiko Sasaki,Akiko Uno,Nobuo Kanagami,Hironori Hirakawa,Tsuguhide Hori,Kazuhiro Tobiishi,Takashi Todaka,Yuji Nakamura,Satoko Yanagiya,Yasuhito Sengoku,Takao Iida,Fumihiro Sata,Reiko Kishi +15 more
TL;DR: The background-level exposure of several isomers of dioxins during the prenatal period probably affects the motor development of 6-month-old infants more than it does their mental development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal exposure to perfluorinated chemicals and relationship with allergies and infectious diseases in infants
Emiko Okada,Seiko Sasaki,Yasuaki Saijo,Noriaki Washino,Chihiro Miyashita,Sumitaka Kobayashi,Kanae Konishi,Yoichi M. Ito,Rie Ito,Ayako Nakata,Yusuke Iwasaki,Koichi Saito,Hiroyuki Nakazawa,Reiko Kishi +13 more
TL;DR: There were no significant associations among maternal PFOS and PFOA levels and food allergy, eczema, wheezing, or otitis media in the 18 month-old infants (adjusted for confounders).
