Resumen

Introduction: The INMA project is a multicenter study based on prospective monitoring of mother-child cohorts in different Spanish geographical areas. Objective: To study the relationship between major environmental pollutants and child development in the pre-and postnatal phases. Material and Methods: The cohort groups share data collection methodology and tools (environmental exposure, biological samples, physical and neuropsychological examinations, diet questionnaires etc.) during intrauterine growth and monitored childhood development. Results: The levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in serum during the first trimester of pregnancy are reported, together with those for lead (Pb) and total mercury (Hg-T) in the umbilical cord, which are associated with the neuropsychological development analyzed to date. The POPs most frequently found were p, p’-DDE (99%) and PCB 153 (95%) with geometric mean in serum (ng / g-lipid) of 110.0 (p, p’-DDE) and 38.9 (PCB 153). The geometric mean and the maximum Pb level were 1.06 mg/dL and 19 mg/dL, respectively. The geometric mean Hg-T was 8.2 mg/L, with fish consumption being the main predictor. The Hg-T reference levels set by USEPA (6.4 mg/L) were exceeded in 64% of the samples. Conclusion: T The levels of POPs and Pb observed in the study areas were within the range of values previously described in earlier studies. The Hg levels require more in-depth assessment, as well as study of the possible associations with neuropsychological development
