The relationship between intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and exposure to particulate matter [is less than or equal to] 10 [micro]m ([PM.sub.10]) and particulate matter [is less than or equal to] 2.5 [micro]m ([PM.sub.2.5]) in early pregnancy was recently studied in the highly polluted district of Teplice (Northern Bohemia). From this observation rose the question about the possible role of the carcinogenic fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (c-PAHs), which are usually bound to fine particles. The impact of c-PAHs and fine particles on IUGR was analyzed in Teplice and in Prachatice, a region with similarly high c-PAH but low particle levels. All European, ...
