“…Nakatani et al (2005) reported TEQs of dl-PCBs in breast milk were correlated with increasing age of mothers in Osaka city, Japan . Guan et al (2005) suggested that the mother’s age should be considered and emphasized in dioxin analysis of breast milk, because in nonpolluted areas, the concentration of dioxin in breast milk is influenced mainly by the mother’s age and history of breastfeeding . Tai et al (2011) reported 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD and TEQ-PCCDs/Fs levels in breast milk were correlated with increasing maternal age, length of residency, and parity in the dioxin contamination hot spot Da Nang, Vietnam .…”

Parity and length of residency were highly correlated with 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD.…”

Bien Hoa Air Base is the largest dioxin contamination hot spot in Vietnam. In 2012, we recruited 216 mothers who were living in 10 communities around Bien Hoa Air Base and had delivered newborns at a prefecture hospital, and we investigated recent exposure levels of dioxins and nonortho PCBs in their breast milk. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetraCDD) was present at 2.6 pg/g lipid in primiparae and 2.2 pg/g lipid in multiparae. Among multiparae and total subjects, significant high prevalence of 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD≥5 pg/g lipid and 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD contribution≥40% were observed in mothers living in the five communities closest to Bien Hoa Air Base. The TEQ for nonortho PCBs was 1.6 pg-TEQ/g lipid for primiparae, and this was even lower than that in the unsprayed area. The length of residency was a strong factor to increase dioxins, including 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD. Residency in the five communities with the highest exposure was a specific risk factor for increased 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD in breast milk. Food intake might contribute partly to the increased levels of dioxin congeners other than 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD in breast milk. These results suggest that Bien Hoa Air Base has led to elevated 2,3,7,8-tetraCDD levels in breast milk of mothers in nearby areas even in the recent years.

“…28 Levels of PCBs are generally higher in the breast milk of European and North American women than in women from non-industrialised countries. Guan found higher levels of three dioxins in the milk of lactating mothers eating a lot of fatty meat and fish, 29 precisely the diet of seabirds and fish on St Kilda. Barraza-Vazquez 30 demonstrated a positive correlation between the maternal venous blood and umbilical cord levels of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT).…”

“…These studies also suggest that human intake of dioxin has been decreasing for several decades [2][3][4][5][6]. Moreover, several studies have reported positive correlations between the intake of fish and dairy products and dioxin concentrations in breast milk, which are the specific factors influencing the accumulation of dioxin in humans [7][8][9]. There have, however, been few studies in Vietnam, in spite of the fact that a great deal of herbicide was sprayed there.…”

Objectives To clarify the association between dioxin concentrations in breast milk and food group intake in herbicide-sprayed and nonsprayed areas in Vietnam. Methods This survey was conducted in August 2007 in sprayed and nonsprayed areas, respectively. The interviews were performed using a questionnaire to obtain information on personal characteristics and usual dietary intake. Eighty mothers of sprayed area and 42 mothers of nonsprayed area participated in the study. Breast milk was analyzed for concentration of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Results Multiple regression analysis showed that location (sprayed or nonsprayed area) has the highest association with the toxic equivalents (TEQ)-PCDDs, TEQ-PCDFs, and TEQ-Total rather than other factors. In the sprayed area, the adjusted R 2 values of regression were approximately 0.1. On the other hand, the adjusted R 2 values in the nonsprayed areas were higher than those in the sprayed area, i.e., between 0.2 and 0.3, and showed that there were significant associations with body mass index (BMI) in all models. Conclusions Dioxin exposure was less affected by usual dietary intake in the sprayed area than in the nonsprayed area in Vietnam. It was clear that past exposure rather than present dietary intake may affect present dioxin concentrations in breast milk in the sprayed area in Vietnam. This study suggests that present dioxin concentrations in breast milk were maintained by continuous past exposure even after 30-40 years had passed.

Associations between dietary intake and breast milk dioxin levels in Tokyo, Japan

Abstract: History of breast-feeding and the mother's age should be considered and emphasized in this kind of analysis. The cause effect relationship between dietary intake and breast milk dioxin levels were still uncertain.
