Aims: To assess the association between prenatal exposure to organochlorine compounds and thyroid status in newborns from an area with high levels of hexachlorobenzene (HCB).Methods: A total of 98 mother-infant pairs (83.1% of all children born during the period 1997-99 in a specific area polluted with HCB) were recruited. Levels of organochlorine compounds were measured in 70 cord serum samples. Concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were measured in plasma of all newborns three days after birth.Results: All newborns had concentrations of TSH within the range of normal reference values (
