<0.001). This study investigated the dietary exposure to chlordecone among pregnant women. Results showed that 76% of the subjects had detectable levels of chlordecone in their blood, with a mean of 0.86 ng/mL. The mean per capita dietary intake of chlordecone was estimated at 3.3 μg/day. The blood chlordecone levels were significantly correlated with food exposure predicted from the empirical weight models. It is important to take this into consideration when determining whether banana is safe during pregnancy, as it is one of the foods that may contain chlordecone. It is recommended to talk to a doctor when considering what foods to include in a pregnancy diet, as some foods may be more suitable than others. In conclusion, more research is needed to determine the exact effects of chlordecone on pregnant women and the safety of banana during pregnancy.
