1 General view of Oak Park 1987 Area: 43 hectars

2 TCDD LEVELS 1987: CDC measures dioxin in Vietnam veterans blood 1988: CDC begins to analyze Seveso samples About 30,000 serum samples ( ml) kept frozen since July 1976 at Desio Hospital Exposure levels have been determined in many subjects and show low, medium and high contamination

3 TCDD VALUES IN SEVESO POPULATION Serum TCDD (ppt) Nd Nd Nd Nd Nd non ABR Zone Zone A without chloracne Chloracne Type 2 Type Zone A with chloracne Mocarelli et al. J Toxicol Environ Health 1991; 32:357-66

8 METABOLISM: MICROSOMAL INDUCTION D-Glucaric acid excretion in urine was significantly elevated in a group of adults tested in D-Glucaric levels were higher in children with chloracne than in children without it. Values decreased yearly and by 1981 they returned within the normal range Ideo G et al, EHP 1985 ; 60:

12 Characteristics of Seveso study population 452 families 130 men with measured TCDD concentration married to females living outside zones A, B and R 156 females with measured TCDD concentration married to males living outside zones A, B and R 168 couples with both partners living in zones A, B and R in 1976 With measured TCDD: 142 mothers and 109 fathers With estimated TCDD: 27 mothers and 59 fathers Children: 88 boys 103 girls Children: 127 boys 106 girls Children: 113 boys 137 girls Mocarelli et al., Lancet 2000; 355:

13 TCDD AND SEX RATIO GOALS OF THE STUDY 1. Is the sex ratio change dependent on TCDD serum level in fathers, mothers or both? 2. Is there a possible TCDD dose-effect (sex ratio) correlation?

14 TCDD AND SEX RATIO GOALS OF THE STUDY 3. Is any sex ratio dependent on a different sensitivity to TCDD of the reproductive system at different ages? 4. How long is the effect lasting?

15 SEX RATIO IN THE STUDY POPULATION COMPARED TO THE EXPOSURE STATUS OF PARENTS Father s Mother s Children Total Sex TCDD TCDD ratio (ppt) (ppt) M F Unexposed Unexposed >15 > >15 Unexposed Unexposed > Total Different from expected sex ratio value of at p= 0.03 Mocarelli P et al., Lancet 2000; 355:

16 TCDD and SEX RATIO Exposure of men to TCDD is linked to a lowered sex ratio Females do not contribute to this phenomenon

18 TCDD and SEX RATIO Initial TCDD concentrations lower than 80 ppt in fathers (lower than 16 ng/kg body weight) were predictor of reduced probability of a male birth
