In order to evaluate if gametes and preimplantation embryos are in vivo exposed to environmental chemicals, the detection of 6 molecules representative of 3 persistent organic pollutants families will be performed in the mucosa of fallopian tubes obtained after bilateral salpingectomy performed for sterilization purpose in 20 women and compared with concentrations in adipose tissue. This feasibility study is a preliminary step before larger clinical surveys and in vitro studies.
