Potential Impact

Worldwide, there is great concern with the issue of bioaccumulation of organochlorine compounds in human milk and their potential impact on health. Breastfeeding is recognized as essential for the proper development and protection of children’s health. In this study, we collected human milk samples from 40 donors in Piracicaba - SP, and analyzed to determine the levels of residues of organochlorine pesticides: hexachlorobenzene (HCB), lindane, heptachlor, aldrin, heptachlor epoxide, o,p’ DDE, a- endosulfan, p,p’ DDE, dieldrin, endrin, b-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, and methoxychlor. The analysis was performed by solid phase extraction (SPE) and quantification by gas chromatography using electron capture detector (ECD). Residues of organochlorine pesticides were detected in 65% of the donors evaluated.

Comparison Of The Results

1 The concentrations of some organochlorine pesticides and polychlorobiphenyl compounds have been determined in 102 samples of human milk collected between January 1979 and September 1980. 2 Comparison of the results with those from a limited study undertaken in 1963-4 shows a decline in residues' levels. 3 The concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and polychlorobiphenyls in human milk samples from residents in Great Britain compare favourably with data obtained in other countries.

Persistent Pollutants

AbstractPolychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent pollutants, harmful to human health, which enter the human body mainly through food and bind to body fat. For these reasons their use in most countries is prohibited. Human milk has an advantage over other types of human samples in measuring human exposure to PCBs, as it is obtained with non-invasive sampling methods. In Europe, including Croatia, PCB levels have been monitored for many years. This review summarises PCB trends in human milk across Europe. The trend is generally downward, with higher levels prevailing in urban areas near industrial plants. The highest PCB levels were reported in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
