  • Title: A pilot study on levels of organochlorine compounds in human milk in Nigeria.
    Author: Atuma SS, Vaz R.
    Journal: Int J Environ Anal Chem; 1986; 26(3-4):187-92. PubMed ID: 3095253.
    Abstract:
    Concentrations of some persistent organochlorine compounds (OCC) in human milk samples from Nigeria are determined. Apart from the commonly detected insecticide residues in Nigerian environment (DDT-complex, HCH-isomers and HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were also found in four out of the thirty-five samples analysed; the values varied from 0.32-0.62 mg/kg milk fat. In general, concentrations of the insecticides were low. p,p'-DDD was not detected in appreciable and quantifiable levels.
