A quantitative analysis of the levels of environmental contaminants from the class of polychlorinated diben-zoparadioxins, furans (PCDD/F) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) as sensors of chemical alteration in the reproductive system in idiopathic infertility. Patients and methods. The examination included 122 women diagnosed with «idiopathic infertility». The levels of ecopollutants were determined by a combination of high-performance capillary gas chromatography and high-resolution gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry according to the standard protocol. Results. In follicular fluid of patients, the total content of dioxins/furans did not exceed 15.7 pg/g of lipids, i.e. was at the sensitivity threshold of the employed method. PCB concentrations were also low (not more than 28.6 pg/g of lipids), but PCB153 and PCB180 congeners associated with fertility disorders have not been found. Conclusion. As has been hypothesized, this class of xenobiotics does not play a leading role in the genesis of environmentally-conditioned reproductive pathologies in women.
