Description
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. © 1986, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
