Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), DDT metabolites and pregnancy outcomes [PDF]
Reproductive Toxicology, 2013 Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are persistent endocrine disruptors. OCPs cross the placenta; this prenatal exposure has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We investigated associations between prenatal exposure to OCPs and gestational age and birth weight in 600 infants born between 1960 and 1963.

Ultra‐Thin and Highly Insulating Aromatic Monolayers by N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.By using N‐heterocyclic carbenes extremally insulating and at the same time as thin as 0.3 nm molecular films are formed. The charge transport calculations indicate absence of destructive quantum interference effect which was so far the only way to suppress conductivity in aromatic molecules.
