lular and organic levels and metabolic acidosis were observed. There was a high incidence of complications of pregnancy: gestosis 29%, fetal malformations 6%, threatening abortion and preterm labor 54%, delivery of preterm and small-to-date newborns 19%. The results suggest a significant relationship between professional contact with pesticides and the development of placental insufficiency.
118 Women, working in the cotton-growing industry (group 1) have been investigated during the pregnancy on feto-placental function. As controls 110 pregnant women, having no professional contact with pesticides (group II) were examined. In all women of group I placental insufficency was found when the length of service was more than 7 years. Pesticides were found in organs and tissues during pregnancy and after delivery. In most cases immunodepression and allergy on cel***

The influence of pesticides was tested by the inhibition of the serum cholinesterase, amino acids, cellular and humoral immunity, antipestical antibodies in the blood serum. Pregnant women and puerperae from the territories under control showed a high percentage of chemical substances in organs and tissues (placenta 33.1%, blood 26.3%, breast milk 20.4%). High quantity of pesticides resulted in the growth
of frequency of early toxicosis (14%), anaemia (12%), weakness of birth labour (15.8%), hypotonic bleeding (20.3%), postpartum complications (6.3%), premature deliveries (17.8%), hypotrophy of the newborn (5.9%). All these complications increased perinatal death rates. The study demonstrated the toxic influence of pesticides on the feto-maternal unit and teratogenie effects.
