Summary

In this study, microplastic levels in the placenta and cord blood of pregnant women with fetal growth retardation and healthy pregnant women will be compared in placenta and cord blood samples after delivery.

Conditions

  • Microplastic Levels in Placenta and Cord Blood

Interventions

OTHER

Analyzing of microplastic level

Blood samples will be taken from the vein of the umbilical cord. Placental tissues will be taken from the maternal side of the placenta. Placental tissues and serum samples will be stored in the temperature set to -80 °C until analysis. Extraction methods involving chemical reactions will be used to separate and purify microplastics in placenta and cord blood samples. After the extraction process, analysis of microplastic levels in tissues and serum will be done by µ-Raman spectroscopy.
