Levels of β-HCH, HCB, p,p′-DDE, p,p′-DDT and PCBs in human milk from a continental town in Croatia, Yugoslavia

摘要: Concentrations of β-HCH, HCB, p,p′-DDE, p,p′-DDT and PCBs were determined by gas chromatography in 50 human milk samples collected from the general population during 1981/1982 a continental town Croatia (Yugoslavia). The between one 22 weeks after delivery mothers breast-feeding child only. mothers' age was 18 to 31 years, they nursing their first or second child. All contained p,p′-DDE PCBs, whereas present 37 samples. concentrations expressed on whole basis (median μg/kg): 11, 7.1, 67, 7.3 respectively, fat mg/kg): 0.28, 0.21, 1.9, 0.18 0.62 respectively. content 3.7% (median). mixture containing penta-, hexa- heptachlorobiphenyls.
