Analysis of Chlordecone Tissue Concentrations in Patients Treated for Thyroid Surgery at Guadeloupe University Hospital
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Guadeloupe
Summary
Chlordecone, an organochlorine pesticide used in the French Caribbean for several decades, is recognized as an endocrine disruptor. Accumulation in thyroid tissue may be modeled using several factors, including blood chlordecone levels, environmental exposure associated with place of residence, and dietary habits.
