Associations between POPs concentrations and hormone levels in cord blood serum or in bloodspot of newborn infant population in Korea (n = 104).

Signs * and ^ indicate statistical significance of regression parameter at p = 75% of the population at concentrations greater than the limit of quantification, a proxy value of ‘limit of quantification divided by square root 2’ was used. For chemicals that were detected in = 60%, statistical analysis was conducted with detected values only. Such chemicals are indicated by ‘+’.Associations between POPs concentrations and hormone levels in cord blood serum or in bloodspot of newborn infant population in Korea (n = 104).
