 note = {Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed in maternal blood and fetuses from Fischer 344 rats exposed to diesel exhaust (DE) during pregnancy, and in breast milk from rats exposed to DE during pregnancy and lactation using high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Concentrations of phenanthrene (Phe), anthracene (Ant) and benz[a]anthracene (BaA) were significantly higher in maternal blood of the DE group than those of the control group. Concentration of Phe in fetuses of the DE group was significantly higher than those of the control group. Concentrations of fluorene, Ant, fluoranthene (Flu), pyrene (Pyr), BaA and chrysene (Chr) tended to be higher in fetuses of the DE group. The levels of Ant, Flu, Pyr and Chr in breast milk from the DE group were significantly higher than those of the control group. These results indicate that PAHs taken into mother rat by the inhalation of DE are transferred into fetuses via placenta and into breast milk. This is the first report to clarify the transportation of inhaled PAHs into fetuses and breast milk from mother rats.},
