The Organic Arsenic Compound Diphenylarsinic Acid Transfers From the Mother to the Fetus via the Placenta in Mammals
The analysis of umbilical cords from pregnant women who drank water containing DPAA revealed that DPAA could transfer from the mother to the fetus through the placenta. Additionally, experiments using rodents confirmed that DPAA could also reach the fetal brain through placental transfer, but the transfer rate was low.
