Organochlorine contaminants in human milk from Slavonia Province, Yugoslavia, 1978
Abstract
Organochlorine residues were determined in human milk samples from an agricultural area of Slavonia, Yugoslavia. Concentrations of pentachlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene, alpha-, beta-, gamma-isomers of benzene hexachloride, heptachlor, aldrin, DDE, TDE, and DDT were determined by gas chromatography (GC). Confirmation was carried out by computerized GC-mass spectrometry. The most abundant contaminant was p,p'-DDE (range, 42.0-418.5 microgram/kg (ppb)).
