The health toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), present in air and food, generated during energy production and waste incineration, is well known. There is no data on the hypothetical role of PAHs in the etiopathogenesis of endometriosis. The aim was to compare PAHs concentrations in visceral fat in women with endometriosis and idiopathic infertility.
