Exposure of a pregnant woman during pregnancy is a special case of exposure to toxic substances. Samples of placenta collected for the studies had been prepared with the technique of accelerated solvent extraction and later analyzed for the presence of thiocyanate ion and other inorganic ions, with the use of the technique of ion chromatography. The concentration of thiocyanate ion in placenta samples collected from active smokers was at higher level than that in placenta samples of non-smoking women who were not exposed to the harmhul componds of tobacco smoke in the environment. The conducted statistical of measurement data obtained the differences in the concentrations of thiocyanate ion in the marked samples. The high concentration of thiocyanate ions in yhe placenta samples proves that harmful substances from tobacco smoke penetrate the placenta
