Sažetak
Tobacco smoke-related cadmium accumulation in human placental tissue (by both active and passive smoking) can interact with transplacental essential elements passage from mother to developing foetus. This can pose a risk for foetal viability and development in utero and health later in life. Blood samples were collected in Maternity Clinic from healthy parturient women and their newborn infants at delivery. We assessed concentrations of selected essential elements in pair samples of maternal blood serum and umbilical cord blood serum in nonsmokers vs. smokers (N=20 in each group according to self-ascertainment) by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS).
