AB  - Studies in Mexico have demonstrated exposure to persistent organic pollutants 
      (POPs) in people living in different sites through the country. However, studies 
      evaluating exposure to POPs in people living in Mexico City (one of most 
      contaminated places in the world) are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study 
      was to assess the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 
      polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its 
      metabolite dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) in the blood as exposure 
      biomarkers in people living in Mexico City. A total of 123 participants (blood 
      donors aged 20-60 years) were recruited during 2010 in Mexico City. Quantitative 
      analyses of blood samples were performed using gas chromatography coupled with 
      mass spectrometry. Levels of the assessed compounds ranged from non-detectable 
      (<LOD) to 350 ng/g lipid; from 8.20 to 91.0 ng/g lipid and from <LOD to 34.0 ng/g 
      lipid for total PBDEs, total PCBs and total DDT, respectively. The current study 
      indicates POP exposure in the people assessed and highlights the need for further 
      biomonitoring studies of these POPs in the region. In this regard, biomonitoring 
      of toxins on a global scale may be the first step towards the prevention of 
      toxin-induced illnesses in the population.
