The study of a population of 4-year-old children born between 1997 and 1999 in an urban area under strong inputs of pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) suggested that the measured concentrations of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in serum may essentially result from metabolism of these chlorinated hydrocarbons. In contrast, examination of a rural population of children where the same compounds were present at relatively low levels points to other inputs besides transformation of PeCB and HCB being responsible for the measured PCP concentrations. In both populations, the results showed that a major proportion of the organochlorine compounds present in these children's serum at 4 years of age was incorporated during the lactation period.
