Placental tissues were obtained from women in Taiwan who had ingested rice oil contaminated with aromatic polychlorinated hydrocarbons 3-4 years before conception. Known contaminants in the rice oil were polychlorinated biphenyls and their thermal degradation products, including polychlorinated dibenzofurans and polychlorinated quaterphenyls. Placental homogenates showed large increases in mono-oxygenase enzymes, including aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase, 7-ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase, and diol, quinone, and phenolic metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene (analysed by high performance liquid chromatography). The findings suggest that exposure to these widespread, environmental pollutants may exert substantial and persistent metabolic effects.
