Human milk POPs and neonatal risk trend from 1982 to 2009 in the same geographic region in Serbia

摘要: Three groups of POPs - DDT, HCH and PCBs were monitored in early human milk for 27 years (1982-2009), as a measure environmental pollution the same geographic region (South Backa, Voyvodina, Serbia). Measurements performed using ECD GC Varian 3400. Concetrations DDT had general decreasing trend from 1982 to 2009. However, concentrations both compounds showed small rises 1994. Concentrations 2009 smooth steep only till 1994 with two peaks 2003 The latest estimated daily intake was well below EU upper limit pesticides food intended infants children. Although far products Serbia, its increase is clear indication influx these after measurements. likely explanation such POP profiles South Backa could have been series negative impacts escalating 1999, which four hot spots identified Serbia (Novi Sad, Pancevo, Bor Kragujevac) by UNEP. results this monitoring that although long standing presence has trend, their occasional output environment may cause bioaccumulation biomagnification organisms already start neonatal age through mother-child transfer via milk.
