| Popis: | 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. |
