摘要: Abstract One hundred and nine samples of milk were collected in 1989–1990 from Inuit women living Arctic Quebec. Concentrations PCBs including coplanar congeners, polychloro dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDDs) polychlorodibenzofurans (PCDFs) 2 to 10 times greater than those found southern Results further analyses (pesticides an on-going cohort study) will be necessary before proposing any public health recommendation on diet or breast-feeding.
