Toxics (Pb, Cd) and trace elements (Zn, Cu, Mn) in women during pregnancy and at delivery, South Benin, 2014–2015
Abstract
During pregnancy, fetal development can be hindered by maternal exposure to toxic elements and abnormal concentrations of trace elements. Few data are available in African countries. Our goal was to assess the body burden of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in pregnant women in Benin. The study was carried out in Sô-Ava district, from November 2015 to April 2016. Sixty women were recruited from the RECIPAL pre-conceptional cohort study. In all women, blood samples were collected during the first trimester of pregnancy. Thirty-two women had additional maternal and cord blood samples collected at delivery. Blood samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. At delivery, Cd median (IQR) concentration in maternal blood was 0.34 µg/L (0.24-0.46) in this non-smoking population. Pb median (IQR) concentration in maternal blood at delivery was 37.4 µg/L (30.5-52.0), with 31.3% of blood Pb levels above the 50 μg/L threshold. These pregnant women lived in semi-rural lakeside villages. Potential sources of Pb exposure identified during pregnancy were having water supply by drill pump and activities such as smoking fish by the woman and fishing by the household head. At delivery, Zn, Cu, and Mn median (IQR) concentrations in maternal blood were, respectively, 5415 μg/L (4894-5822), 1609 μg/L (1295-1771) and 16.0 μg/L (12.5-20.8). Pb, Cd, Mn and Cu blood concentrations were significantly higher at delivery than during the first trimester of pregnancy. Pb, Cd, Zn and Cu concentrations were significantly lower in cord blood than in maternal blood, contrary to Mn concentration, which was significantly higher in cord blood than in maternal blood at delivery. This exploratory study is the first one performed in Benin, and warns us about exposition of women from Sô-Ava district to Pb and Cd during pregnancy.

Women who fetched water from a drill pipe may be at increased exposure to lead, as the blood of first-trimester pregnant women was recorded to have elevated levels of lead.
“Women who fetched water from a drill pipe may also be at increased exposure to toxins, including lead as the blood of first-trimester pregnant women was recorded to have elevated levels of toxin lead (Guy et al., 2018).”

The role of women and girls as main water purveyors increased their exposure to waterborne toxins.
“Regardless, women and girls typically served as the main water purveyors, a role which increased their risk for musculoskeletal trauma (Geere et al., 2018), and exposure to waterborne toxins (Gaspar et al., 2017;Guy et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
